WARNING LAMPS

Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a check auto-test. They go off again almost immediately.
When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial warning may be
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Do not ignore these warnings

READY TO SET OFF
2

After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.


Zero re-set

Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:


- switch off the ignition,

- press and hold the trip recorder reset
button,

- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0"
, release the
button; the spanner disappears.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information.

Oil level correct

Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL"
, linked
with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which could
damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
indicator. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.

B
= minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.



Trip recorder zero reset

Lighting dimmer

With the lighting on, press the
button to vary the brightness
of the instruments and
controls. When the lighting
reaches the minimum (or maximum) setting,
release the button then press it again to
increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.

With the engine running the spanner
remains on until the service has been
carried out.
First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also comes on if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the
spanner fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS - EBFD)

The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
PEUGEOT. If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lamps, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
in the screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.

Stop
as soon as it is safe to do so

.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached more
quickly, press the pedal fi rmly without releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.

Checks
CHECKS


Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc/drum wear

For any information on checking the brake
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter

The carbon fi lter permits continuous and
effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter becomes
clogged, this may reduce the performance
of the air conditioning system and generate
unpleasant odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By means of
its second special active fi lter, it contributes
to the purifi cation of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms,
unpleasant odours and greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing booklet to fi nd out the
replacement interval for these components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary.
This filter actively contributes
to the preservation of air quality
by trapping unburnt polluting
particles. It is controlled
completely and automatically by the engine
management system.
This warning lamp comes on if there is a risk
of blockage of the filter.
This alert signals the start of saturation of
the particle emissions filter (exceptionally
prolonged driving in urban conditions:
reduced speed, traffic jams…).
If this alert persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
On acceleration after the vehicle has been
running for a prolonged period at very low
speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice the emission of water
vapour at the exhaust. This water vapour
does not have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
To regenerate the filter, it is recommended
that as soon as driving conditions permit,
you drive at a speed of at least 36 mph
(60 km/h) for at least 5 minutes (until the
warning lamp goes off and/or the message
disappears).
Refer to "Under the bonnet" in section 6.
