FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:


- 1:
the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.

- 0:
the reserve is now being used, the
warning lamp comes on continuously.
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 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.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6. The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres. 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 qualified workshop.

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.
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.
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. 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.
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.

Instruments and controls

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.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.

B
= minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.



Trip recorder zero reset
button
With the ignition on, press the
button until the zeros appear.


Lighting dimmer

With the lighting on, press the
button to vary the brightness
of the instruments and
controls. When the lighting
reaches the minimum (or maximum) setting,
release the button then press it again to
increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.
Service overdue
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.

Gearboxes and steering wheel

STARTING AND STOPPING


Key

Take care to prevent the key from coming
into contact with grease, dust, rain or a
damp environment.
A heavy object attached to the key (key
ring, ...) weighing the key down in the
ignition switch may cause a malfunction.


Good practice when starting


Door or bonnet open warning lamp

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

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.



Good practice when stopping


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.

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

Starting position.
The starter is operated, the engine turns
over, release the key.

STOP position:
steering lock.
The ignition is off. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering locks. Remove the key.
STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND
REACH ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism by
lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism
by pushing the lever fully upwards.
