INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
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 taken into account.
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 trip distance re-
corder zero reset button,
)
switch on the ignition; the distance
recorder display begins a count-
down,
)
when the display indicates "=0"
,
release the button; the spanner
disappears.
The distance remaining may
be weighted by the time fac-
tor, depending on the driving
conditions.
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

indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.
Example:
the service is overdue by
180 miles (300 km).

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Brake fluid level
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extreme-
ly hot (risk of burns).
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres). In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

CHECKS
Brake disc wear
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checking
interval for this component.
6-speed electronic
gearbox system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
interval for this component. This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in
the event of a problem, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Electric parking brake - § Operating
faults".
Electric parking brake
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst few
particle emissions fi lter regen-
erations may be accompanied
by a "burning" smell, which is perfect-
ly normal. Following prolonged oper-
ation of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice water vapour
from the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not affect the performance
of the vehicle or the environment.
Dust filter/Anti-odour filter
(activated carbon)
Your vehicle is fi tted with a fi lter which
traps certain dust and limits odours in
the ventilation and air conditioning.
Refer to the servicing booklet for its re-
placement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you notice
unpleasant odours, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.
