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 cal-
culated from the last indicator zero reset. It
is determined by two parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last ser-
vice.
More than 1 000 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:
4800 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner
goes
off
; the distance
recorder resumes its normal operation.
The display then indicates the total and
trip distances.
Less than 1 000 km remain before
the next service is due

Example

:
900 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display 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.

The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, de-
pending 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 km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its
normal operation. The spanner re-
mains
on
.












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.

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.

The level shown will only be cor-
rect if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 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
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 in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL --"
. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the lev-
el via the oil fi ller cap,
using the grade of oil
suited to your engine.
