HORN
Audible warning to alert other road users to an imminent danger.

emergency services or to the dedicated PEUGEOT service.
For more information on the use of this function, refer to the "Audio
equipment and telematics" section.

DRIVING
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres, the symbol or the
message appears, according to equipment, to identify it.
 Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.
 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
 In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel (according to equipment),
or
 if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for example, check the four tyre pressures when cold,
or
 if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at reduced speed.
UNDER-INFLATION ALERT
The alert is given by the fi xed illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
The loss of pressure detected does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or tyres concerned is reinfl ated,
repaired or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor. The fl ashing and then fi xed illumination of the
under-infl ation warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning lamp indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor (for example, a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to have the system
checked or, following the repair of a puncture, to have the original
wheel, equipped with a sensor, refi tted.

PEUGEOT & TOTAL
PARTNERS IN PERFORMANCE
AND PROTECTION OF
THE ENVIRONMENT
Innovation at the service of performance

develop lubricants for PEUGEOT which satisfy the
requirements of the latest technical innovations
incorporated in PEUGEOT vehicles.
This ensures that you obtain the best performance
and the maximum engine life.
Reduced exhaust emissions
TOTAL lubricants are formulated to optimise the
effi ciency of engines and the protection of the
emissions post-treatment systems. It is crucial to

CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine m\
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start
at any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on
level ground and the engine must have been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil chang\
es).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location\
of
the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
- Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
- Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fl uffy cloth.
- Refi t the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A and B . A = MAX
B = MIN
If you fi nd that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do
not start the engine .
- If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine),
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
- If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

MANUAL GEARBOX
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
BRAKE PADS BRAKE DISC WEAR
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.
The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the warranty and maintenance record for details of
the level checking interval for this component.
Brake wear depends on the style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in town, over short distances.
It may be necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the brake fl uid level
indicates that the brake pads are worn. For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of
equivalent quality and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those
in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specifi c
products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and pads: braking effi ciency may
be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
PARKING BRAKE
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system
is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
