Service indicator

The display, located in the control
block, informs you when the next
service will be due in accordance
with the "Manufacturer’s" servicing
schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined
in relation to the distance travelled
since the previous service.
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.

The distance remaining before
the next service is less than
500 miles/1 000 km
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 lit. This indicates that
a service should be carried out shortly.



The service is overdue
Each time the ignition is switched on
and for a few seconds, the spanner
fl ashes and the excess distance is
displayed.
With the engine running the
spanner remains lit until the
service has been carried out.

Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the display shows:
Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given
to you on delivery of the vehicle.

Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation lights
up; the display for the total distance
recorder tells you (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 the distance travelled.

- Press and hold the trip recorder re-set
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

Lack of oil
Flashing of "OIL"
,
linked with the
service warning light,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
display, indicates a lack of oil which
could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil 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
gauge. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Consult the
instructions at PEUGEOT dealerships
or in the servicing booklet enclosed in
the handbook pack. To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited.



Oil change

It is imperative that this is carried out at
the intervals specifi ed and the viscosity
grade of the oil selected must fulfi l the
requirements in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Consult the instructions at PEUGEOT
dealerships.
Remove the dipstick before fi lling.
Check the level after fi lling (never
exceed the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump
before closing the bonnet.
LEVELS

If you have to remove/refi t the
engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing
clips.

Dipstick


Warning lights
Oil level

Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.

Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer’s requirements.

Checking by means of the
warning lights on the instrument
panel is described in chapter 2,
"Instruments and controls" section.


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 failure which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A
= maximum
If you fi ll past this
mark, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

B
= minimum
Never allow the level
to fall below this
mark.

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 failure 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. During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, relay noise may be
heard under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and
the service warning light remains on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Diesel additive level (Diesel with
particle emission filter)
When this occurs with the engine
running, this is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban driving
conditions: low speed, long traffi c
jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed of
more than 40 mph (60 km/h) as soon
as possible, when traffi c conditions
permit, for at least fi ve minutes (until
the message disappears and the
service warning light is switched off).
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.



Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
To avoid ice forming, do not use water.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay.



Used oil

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 onto
the ground but into the containers
dedicated to this use at PEUGEOT
dealerships. The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by
lighting of the service warning
light, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
on the display.

CHECKS

To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended
by PEUGEOT or products
of equivalent quality and
specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.

Oil filter

Change the fi lter regularly, in
accordance with the servicing
schedule. 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.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet" section
of chapter 6.


Particle emission filter (Diesel)

It is imperative that particle emission
fi lter maintenance is carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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.

Battery

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


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 on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.


Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.


Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.


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 to the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).

Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
