Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

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
reset. It is determined by two param-
eters:


- 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 re-
corder 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 ser-
vice information appears in the screen.

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
to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
180 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
.

Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver wheth-
er 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 low
Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL"
,
linked with the service warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal 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 level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the grade of oil suit-
ed to your engine.
