After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the
vehicle and wait for at least fi ve

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.
Dipstick

A

this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.

and technology (reference numbers
available from a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
PEUGEOT introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes

HILL START ASSIST

Operation

With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the
brake pedal you have approximately
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll back and without using the parking
brake within which to move off.
During the moving off phase, the
function is deactivated automatically,
gradually releasing the braking
pressure. During this phase, the
characteristic noise of mechanical
release of the brakes may be heard,
indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp
comes on accompanied
by an audible signal and
confi rmed by a message
in the screen. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked. This function, linked with the ESP,
makes hill starts easier and is activated
in the following conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary,
engine running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be
steeper than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be
engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill
Start Assist function is a driving comfort
system. It is not an automatic vehicle
parking function or an automatic
parking brake.

Steering mounted controls

However, pressing the pedal beyond
this point of resistance to the fl oor
allows the programmed speed to be
exceeded. To resume use of the limiter,
simply reduce the pressure on the
accelerator pedal gradually and return
to a speed below that programmed.

The operating actions may be
carried out when stationary, with the
engine running, or with the vehicle
moving.
This speed limiter shows the function
selection status in the instrument panel
and displays the programmed speed:

driver does not wish to exceed".
This selection is made with the engine
running while stationary or with the
vehicle moving. The minimum speed
which can be programmed is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The speed of the vehicle responds
to the pressure of the driver's foot as
far as the accelerator pedal point of
resistance which indicates that the
programmed speed has been reached.

Oil change

This must be carried out at the
intervals specifi ed and the viscosity
grade of the oil selected must fulfi l the
requirements in the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Remove the dipstick before fi lling.
Check the level after fi lling (never
exceed the max mark).
Refi t the oil fi ller cap before closing the
bonnet.

Changing the brake fluid

The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop as soon as
possible.


Warning lamps

engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing
clips.

Oil level

It is recommended that the oil level be
checked every 3 000 miles (5 000 km)
and topped up if necessary between oil
changes.
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.

Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A
= maximum
If you fi ll past this mark,
consult a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

B
= minimum
