Engine oil level indicator *
On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, after the service information.
Oil level correct
Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the engine oil level is no longer monitored. When the system has a fault, you should check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick (located under the bonnet).
This is signalled by the flashing of " O I L" , or the display of a message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to prevent damage to the engine. Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL- -"or the display of a message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment. To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot. Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows. Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system. Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working order. Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits). The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal. To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly. If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Rear ventilation
adjustment
After pressing the "REAR" button, turn the adjustment dial of the rear side vents to decrease or increase the flow of air. Take care not to obstruct the side vents and the air outlets on the floor. To shut off the flow of air, close the vents and
set the dial to 0.

Turn the dial from position 1to position 5 to obtain a comfortable air flow.
Windscreen, side windows and front-rear footwells.
Footwells, front-rear (closing the vents increases the flow to the footwells).
Central, side and rear vents.
Turn the dial from blue (cold) to red (hot) to adjust the temperature to your requirements.
Windscreen and side windows.
1. Temperature adjustment
The air distribution can be adapted by placing the dial in an intermediate position.
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.
4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air limits misting of the windscreen and side windows. The recirculation of interior air insulates the passenger compartment from exterior odours and smoke. Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible to prevent deterioration of the air quality and demisting performance. 3. Air distribution adjustment
Press the button to recirculate the interior air. The indicator lamp comes on to confirm this.
Press the button again to permit the intake of exterior air. The indicator lamp goes off to confirm this.
Manual air conditioning
If you place the air flow control in position 0 (deactivation of the system), the temperature is no longer maintained at a comfortable level. However, a slight flow of air, due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.
