FUEL GAUGE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
 
 
The needle is positioned before the 
red zone: 
 normal operation. 
  In arduous conditions of use or hot 
climatic conditions, the needle may 
move close to the red graduations.    
What you should do if the needle 
enters the red zone: 
 
  Reduce your speed or let the engine 
run at idle. 
   
What you should do if the warning 
lamp comes on: 
 
   
 
-   stop immediately, switch off the 
ignition. The fan may continue to 
operate for a certain time, up to 
approximately 10 minutes, 
   
-   wait for the engine to cool down in 
order to check the coolant level and 
top it up if necessary.  
  As the cooling system is pressurised, 
follow this advice in order to avoid any 
risk of scalding: 
   
 
-   wait at least one hour after 
switching off the engine before 
carrying out any work, 
   
-   unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to 
allow the pressure to drop, 
   
-   when the pressure has dropped, 
check the level on the expansion 
bottle, 
   
-  
if necessary, remove the cap to top up.  
 
If the needle remains in the red 
zone, have the system checked by 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop. 
  Refer to the "Levels" section of 
chapter 6. 
  Refer to the "Fuel" section of

SERVICE INDICATOR
 
This programmes service intervals 
according to the use of the vehicle.     
More than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due 
   
Example: 
 4 800 miles/km remain 
before the next service is due. When 
the ignition is switched on and for a 
few seconds, the screen shows: 
  A few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed, 
then the total distance recorder 
resumes normal operation showing the 
total and trip distances.  
   
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the 
next service is due 
  Each time the ignition is switched on 
and for a few seconds, the spanner 
fl ashes and the number of miles/
kilometres remaining is displayed:   A few seconds after the ignition is 
switched on, the oil level is displayed, 
then the total distance recorder 
resumes normal operation and the 
spanner remains on. This indicates that 
a service should be carried out shortly.  
   
Service overdue 
  First of the two terms reached: the 
spanner also comes on if the two-year 
interval has elapsed.  
     
Operation 
  A few moments after the ignition 
has been switched on, the spanner 
indicating a service operation comes 
on; the display for the total distance 
recorder gives (in round fi gures) the 
distance remaining before the next 
service. 
  The points at which a service is due 
are calculated from the last indicator 
zero reset. 
  The point at which a service is due is 
determined by two parameters: 
   
 
-   the distance travelled, 
   
-   the time which has elapsed since 
the last service.  
  The distance remaining before the 
next service may be weighted by 
the time factor, depending on the 
type of driving.    With the engine running the 
spanner remains on until the 
service has been carried out.   Each time the ignition is 
switched on and for a few 
seconds, the spanner 
fl ashes and the excess 
distance is displayed.

  After this operation, if you wish to 
disconnect the battery, lock the 
vehicle and wait for at least fi ve 
minutes, otherwise the zero re-set will 
not be registered.  
 
 
Zero re-set 
 
Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
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 confi rmed 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 qualifi ed 
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.

 (driving 
in manual mode) or vice versa can be 
made at any time. The warning lamp  A 
 
goes off in the instrument panel.  
 
 
Moving off 
 
 
 
-   To start the engine, the gear 
selector must be in position  N 
. 
   
-  Press fi rmly on the brake pedal. 
   
-   Operate the starter. 
   
-   When the engine is running, place 
the gear selector on  R 
,  A 
 or  M 
 as 
desired. 
   
-   Release the brake pedal and 
accelerate.  
  If the gear selector is not in position  N

  The gearbox then operates in 
automatic mode, without any action on 
your part. 
  It constantly selects the gear that is 
best suited to the following conditions: 
   
 
-  driving style, 
   
-  road profi le, 
   
-   optimum fuel consumption.  
   Pull on the " +

-   If the vehicle stops or reduces speed 
(for example when approaching a 
stop sign), the gearbox changes 
down automatically, to fi rst gear if 
needed. 
   
-   It is not necessary to release the 
accelerator completely during gear 
changes. 
   
-   A gear change instruction is 
accepted only if the engine speed 
permits.
