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"

the button; the spanner disappears.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the

seconds, after the service information.
Oil level correct
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL"

service warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the

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.

necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the key.
Maintenance
Before working under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system
to avoid any risk of injury resulting
from automatic operation of START
mode.
This system requires a specifi c
battery with a special specifi cation
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
use of advanced technology. All
work on this type of battery must
be done only by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.

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 ESC,
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.

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

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
If you have to remove / refi t the
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
Never allow the level to
fall below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good working order. Ask for
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer or
refer to the servicing and warranty
booklet in the handbook pack.
Checks using the warning
lamps in the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.
