ENGINE OIL WARNING LAMP 
 
LIGHTING DIMMER 
 
The dimmer is active when the sidelamps 
are on.    Refer to the list of checks in the 
warranty and maintenance record 
which was given to you on delivery of 
the vehicle. 
  After a few seconds, the screen returns to its 
usual functions.  
  Use these controls to adjust the 
brightness of the instrument 
panel and the audio system panel 
lighting.     
The screen in the instrument panel 
informs you when the next service is due, 
in accordance with the Manufacturer's 
servicing schedule indicated in the warranty 
and maintenance record. This information 
is determined in relation to the distance 
travelled since the previous service.    
Low engine oil pressure 
   
Oil deterioration (1.3 HDi 75 hp engine only)   The warning lamp comes on 
continuously, accompanied by a 
message in the instrument panel screen, 
when the system detects that the oil 
pressure is too low. 
  The warning lamp flashes, 
accompanied by a message in the 
instrument panel screen, when the system 
detects deterioration of the engine oil. The 
flashing of this warning lamp should not be 
considered as a fault wit the vehicle, but 
rather as an indication to the driver that the 
normal use of the vehicle now 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. 
  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.   To avoid damaging the engine, it is 
recommended that the oil be changed 
on flashing of the engine oil warning lamp.  
 
   
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so: park, 
switch off the ignition and contact a 
 
  PEUGEOT 
  dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Manual gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change). 
  Refer to the warranty and maintenance 
record for the details of the level checking 
interval for this component.  
  To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the warranty and maintenance 
record 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. 
   
 
 
 
 
 
Particle filter system (1.3 HDi 75) 
 
An addition to the catalytic converter, this 
filter makes an active contribution to the 
preservation of air quality by the retaining 
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black 
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted. 
  This filter, fitted to the exhaust system, 
accumulates particles of soot. The engine 
control unit manages the automatic 
periodic elimination of the soot particles 
(regeneration). 
  the regeneration procedure is invoked 
according to the quantity of particles 
accumulated and the driving conditions of the 
vehicle. During this phase, you may notice 
some unusual phenomena - increased idling 
speed, cooling fan running, increase in smoke 
and higher exhaust gas temperature - which 
does not affect the operation of the vehicle or 
the environment. 
  After prolonged idling or driving at very low 
speeds, you may occasionally notice water 
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when 
accelerating. This is of no consequence 
to the running of the vehicle or to the 
environment.    
Saturation/Regeneration 
  If there is risk of blockage of the 
filter, this warning lamp comes on 
in the instrument panel. 
  This alert tells you that the 
particle filter is starting to fill up (in 
conditions of urban driving of exceptionally 
long duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.) 
  To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive 
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions 
and the law permit, at a speed of at least 
40 mph (around 60 km/h), with an 
engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about 
fifteen minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears). 
  If possible, avoid switching off the engine 
before the end of regeneration of the 
filter; repeated interruptions could cause 
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It 
is not recommended to end regeneration of 
the filter with the vehicle stationary.  
   
Operating fault 
  If this alert persists, do not ignore the 
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred 
in the exhaust/particle filter system. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Electronic gearbox 
 
The gearbox does not require any 
maintenance (no oil change). 
  Refer to the warranty and maintenance 
record for details of the checking interval for 
this component.  
  Because of the higher exhaust 
gas temperature resulting from the 
normal operation of the particle filter, it is 
recommended that you do not park the 
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, 
dry leaves, pine needles, ...) so as to avoid 
any risk of fire.
