INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Coolant temperature indicator
With the engine running, when the
needle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is
correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1 and the central STOP warning
lamp come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen.

You
must
stop as soon as it is safe

perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:

 wait for the engine to cool,

 unscrew the cap by two turns to

The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not.
This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
Oil level correct
Lack of oil Oil level indicator fault
Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of

"OIL" , linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up to prevent damage to
the engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL
--" .
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero re-
set. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service. Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and
1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before
the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising
the service operations comes on. The
distance recorder display line indicates
the distance remaining before the next
service is due.

Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) re-
main before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner
goes
off ; the distance
recorder resumes its normal operation.
The screen then indicates the total and
trip distances. Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains on to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears in the
screen.

Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes
for the zero reset to be registered.
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.
The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:

 switch off the ignition,

 press and hold the ".../000" button
on the right of the instrument panel,

 switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,

 when the instrument panel central
screen indicates "=0" , release the
button; the spanner disappears from
the screen.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
the spanner fl ashes to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles (300 km).
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains
on . Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information
at any time.
This information appears, depending
on version, when running through the
manual check procedure.

 Briefl y press the ".../000" button on
the right of the instrument panel.
The service information is displayed for a few seconds on the instrument
