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
.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information
at any time.
)
Press the trip distance recorder zero
reset button.
The service information is displayed
for a few seconds, then disappears.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
The level shown will only be
correct if the vehicle is on lev-
el ground and the engine has
been off for more than 30 minutes.
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.

MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS
Access to the retractable screen
This screen is opened and stored auto-
matically.
However, you can also open it, store it
and adjust it using the various manual
controls:
- opening or storing by means of con-
trol A
,
- angle adjustments by means of con-
trol B
.
It is also fi tted with safety auto-reverse
protection.
Opening the screen
)
With the screen stored, press con-
trol A
to open it.
The screen opens automatically when
the ignition is switched on, when the au-
dio and telematics system is switched
on, when an outgoing telephone call
is made, when a voice command is
given and when a warning message
linked with the STOP warning lamp is
received.
Closing the screen
)
With the screen open, press control A
to store it.
The screen is stored automatically
when the ignition is switched off, after
approximately three seconds, if the au-
dio and telematics system is off.
If you wish the screen to open
or close automatically when
the audio and telematics sys-
tem is switched on or off, the screen
must not be closed when the audio
and telematics system is operating. When the screen is open, you can
adjust it precisely in different ways:
)
press the corresponding part of
control B
to move the screen towards

Adjusting the position of the screen
Safety auto-reverse
If the screen meets an obstacle as it
opens or closes, the movement stops
immediately and is reversed by a few
millimetres.
After clearing the obstacle, issue the
command required again.
Storing the position of the screen
The system has four pre-set positions
in its memory.
Each time the screen is closed, the
system stores the last position of the
screen.
Each time the screen is re-opened, the
system returns the screen to the pre-set
position closest to that stored.
If you close the screen dur-
ing operation of the audio and
telematics system, it will re-
open automatically when an outgoing
telephone call is made, when a voice
command is given or when a warning
message linked with the STOP warn-
ing lamp is received.

MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS
A few definitions…
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After fi ll-
ing with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed when it
exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of
the digits, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi cant
change in the current fuel consumption.
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.
Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last
trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip com-
puter zero reset (ignition on).
Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination. It
is either calculated instantly by the navi-
gation system, if guidance is activated,
or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with
Stop & Start, a time counter cal-
culates the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
