Trip recorder zero
reset button
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.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.

via the oil fi ller cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.

Starting and stopping



Good practice when stopping
Good practice when starting


Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp
If the temperature is high
enough, the warning lamp
comes on for less than one
second, you can start without
waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning
lamp to go off then operate the starter
(Starting position) until the engine
starts.

Door or bonnet open
warning light
If this comes on, a door or the
bonnet is not closed correctly, check!


Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow
the turbocharger (Diesel engine) to
return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear
after parking the vehicle.

STARTING AND STOPPING

To unlock the steering, turn the
steering wheel gently while turning the
key, without forcing. In this position,
certain accessories can be used.

Cooling system

Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.


Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.



Waste products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site. The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).
