t

he flashing of this warning lamp
should not be considered as a fault wit the
vehicle, but rather as an indication to the

requires that the oil be changed.
If the oil is not changed, when a
second level of deterioration is
reached, the emissions warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine speed is restricted to
3000 rpm.
to avoid damaging the engine, it is

recommended that the oil be changed
on flashing of the engine oil warning lamp.

switch off the ignition and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If the oil is still not changed, when a third
level of deterioration is reached, the engine
speed is restricted to 1500 rpm, so as to
avoid any damage.
