SERVICE INDICATOR
This is a visual reminder of when the
next service is due. This service is to
be carried out according to the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule.
Once an engine oil level indication has been displayed, the display indicates
the total and trip distances.
If the service is overdue , each time
the ignition is switched on and for
5 seconds, the distance and the span-
ner fl ash.

Example : when the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the display in-
dicates that the service is overdue by
300 miles/km. The service should be
carried out very shortly.
Once the servicing and oil level infor-
mation has been displayed, the total
distance recorder resumes normal op-
eration and the spanner remains on.
The point at which a service is due is
calculated using two parameters:
- the total distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last
service.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the user's driving conditions.
Engine oil temperature indicator
When the ignition is switched on or
while the vehicle is moving, this indi-
cates the engine oil temperature.
When the needle is in zone C , the
temperature is correct.
When the needle is in zone D , the
temperature is too high.
Reduce your speed to lower the tem-
perature. Operation
As soon as the ignition is switched on
and for 5 seconds, the spanner sym-
bolising the service operations is on.
The trip recorder display shows the
distance remaining (in round fi gures)
before the next service.

Example : when switching on the ig-
nition and for 5 seconds, the display
shows that 400 miles/900 km remain
before the next service is due.

Service indicator zero re-set
Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:

 Switch off the ignition,

 Press and hold the trip recorder re-
set button,

 Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for approx-
imately 5 seconds, after the service
information.
Dipstick
There are 2 level marks on
the dipstick: never exceed
level A .
In position B , top up the
level via the oil fi ller cap,
using the type of oil suited
to your engine.

A = max.

B = min.
Oil level correct
Oil level too low
Flashing indicates that the oil level is
too low, which may damage the en-
gine.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by
checking with the dipstick, the level
must be topped up. Oil level indicator fault
(fl ashing segments)
Check the oil level using the dipstick.
If the level is correct, the fl ashing indi-
cates an engine oil level gauge mal-
function.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The level observed on the dipstick is
only valid if the vehicle is parked on
level ground and the engine has been
off for more than 15 minutes.
After this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait for at least
fi ve minutes, otherwise the zero
re-set will not be registered.

To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Cooling system CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer, or refer to the
Service Box website or the servicing
booklet supplied with the vehicle.

Important: if you have to remove/refi t
the engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing clips.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil level

 Check the level regularly and top
up between oil changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick. Take care when when doing
anything under the bonnet, as
some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).
Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out
at the intervals specifi ed and the vis-
cosity of the oil chosen must meet the
requirements laid down in the manu-
facturer's servicing schedule. Ask for
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or re-
fer to the Service Box website.

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers provided for
this purpose in the PEUGEOT dealer
network (France) or take it to an autho-
rised waste disposal site.
Oil filter
Replace the oil fi lter regularly in accor-
dance with the recommendations of
the servicing schedule.
Brake fluid change
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi ls DOT4
Standards.
It is imperative that the brake fl uid is
changed at the intervals specifi ed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.

Note: avoid all contact with the skin,
the brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive. Use only the fl uid recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
the cooling system is pressurised, wait
for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap to the fi rst
notch to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level with coolant.

The engine fan can oper-
ate after the vehicle has
stopped.
