Limit the causes of 
excess consumption
 
 
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; 
place the heaviest items in the bottom of 
the boot, as close as possible to the rear 
seats. 
  Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and 
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof 
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof 
box in preference. 
  Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.  
   
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres 
and refit your summer tyres.  
 
Observe the recommendations 
on maintenance 
 
 
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when 
cold, referring to the label in the door 
aperture, driver's side. 
  Carry out this check in particular: 
   
 
-   before a long journey, 
   
-   at each change of season, 
   
-   after a long period out of use.  
  Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres 
on any trailer or caravan.  
   
Have your vehicle serviced regularly 
(engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe 
the schedule of operations recommended 
by the manufacturer.  
 
    
When refuelling, do not continue after the 
third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any 
overflow.  
   
At the wheel of your new vehicle, 
it is only after the first 1 800 miles 
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see 
the fuel consumption settle down to a 
consistent average.

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

Instruments and controls  
 
  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.    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.     The distance remaining before the next 
service may be weighted by the time 
factor, depending on the type of driving.     
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: 
SERVICE INDICATOR
  This programmes service intervals according 
to the use of the vehicle.  
   
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 
figures) the distance remaining before the 
next service.    All repairs and changing of tyres on 
a wheel fitted with this system must 
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop. 
   
Good practice 
 
This system does not avoid the need to 
have the tyre pressures checked regularly 
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that 
the dynamic performance of the vehicle 
remains at its best and to avoid premature 
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of 
heavy loads and high speeds. 
  Observing the recommended tyre pressures 
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption. 
  The system may temporarily be disturbed by 
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency 
close to that used by it.     If when changing a tyre, you fit a 
wheel not detected by your vehicle 
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must 
have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. 
   
The tyre under-inflation detection system 
is a driving aid which does not take the 
place of vigilance or the responsibility of 
the driver.

When the display shows  "=0" 
, release 
the button; the spanner disappears. 
  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. 
 
 
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.

LEVELS
 
To maintain the reliability of engines and 
emission control systems, the use of 
additives in engine oil is prohibited.  
  
 
Changing the brake fluid
 
The brake fluid must be changed at 
the intervals stated, according to the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule. 
  Use fluids recommended by the 
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4 standards. 
  The level must be between the MIN and 
MAX marks on the reservoir. 
  If fluid has to be added frequently, this 
indicates a fault which must be checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible.     These regular maintenance operations 
will keep your vehicle in good running 
order. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or the 
servicing and warranty booklet enclosed in 
the handbook pack. 
  If you have to remove / refit the engine 
style cover, handle it with care to avoid 
damaging the fixing clips. 
  Check the level regularly and top up 
between 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 fill past this mark, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop. 
  B = minimum 
  Never allow the level to fall 
below this mark. Oil change 
  It is imperative that this is carried out at the 
intervals specified and the viscosity grade of 
the oil selected must fulfil the requirements 
in accordance with the manufacturer's 
servicing schedule. Ask for advice from a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
  Remove the dipstick before filling. 
  For the 2 litre HDi engine, use the funnel 
supplied when filling via the sump opening. 
  Check the level after filling (never exceed 
the max mark). 
  Screw the cap back onto the sump before 
closing the bonnet. 
   
Viscosity selection 
  In all cases, the oil selected must meet the 
manufacturer's requirements.

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 filter permits continuous and 
effective filtering of dust. 
  If the passenger compartment filter 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 filter. By means of 
its second special active filter, it contributes 
to the purification 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 and warranty booklet 
to find 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. 
   
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
 
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.

Checks 
Manual gearbox
 
Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer 
to the pages of the servicing and warranty 
booklet which correspond to your vehicle's 
engine. 
  Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent 
quality and specification. 
  In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  In order to avoid damaging the electrical 
units, high pressure washing to clean the 
engine compartment is strictly prohibited. 
  After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.

 Bleeding the water contained in theDiesel filter 
 
If this warning lamp comes on, 
bleed the filter. Otherwise bleed 
regularly each time the engine oil 
is changed. 
  To evacuate the water, unscrew the bleed 
screw located on the end of the transparent 
pipe. 
  Operate until all of the water in the 
transparent pipe has been drained out then 
tighten the bleed screw. 
  HDi engines use advanced technology. 
  Contact a PEUGEOT or a qualified 
workshop for all work on the system.     During this regeneration, you may notice 
that the idling speed is higher than normal 
and that the cooling fan is running. As 
operation of the exhaust emissions controls 
may cause the exhaust gas temperature to 
reach very high levels, it is recommended 
that you do not stop the vehicle over easily 
inflammable surfaces (dry grass and leaves, 
pine needles, edge of a meadow or forest).
