Retrieving the service
information
You can access the service information at any
time.
F Press the trip distance recorder zero reset
button.
The service information is displayed for a
few seconds, then disappears.
With the trip mileage displayed, press the
button for a few seconds.
Trip recorder reset
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be registered.
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
If you have carried out the service on your
vehicle yourself:
F switch off the ignition,
F press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
F switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F when the display indicates "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this
alert is also accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the Service warning
lamp, when the ignition is switched on.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according to the degree of deterioration
of the engine oil. The deterioration
of the engine oil depends on the
conditions in which the vehicle is used.

Oil level
PrincipleAdvice
Dipstick
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate the
dipstick and the oil filler cap on your engine.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed this
level,
- B = min; top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.
Checking
F Open the bonnet and secure it with the
st ay.
F Pull the dipstick out and wipe it with a clean
cloth.
F Return the dipstick to its tube and then pull
it out again to check the level against the
mark.
F Return the dipstick to its tube.
Low oil level
F Identify the engine oil filler cap.
F Open the filler cap.
F Add engine oil with exceeding mark A .
F Fit the filler cap. Take car when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

Level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of "OIL" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
Fault
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL_ _" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Level correct
It is normal to top-up the engine oil
level between services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the oil level and top-up if necessary,
every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
Electronic oil level indicator
The check is done for a few seconds on
switching on the ignition with a message in the
display or screen (depending on version).
It is only valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.

Gear shift indicator
Principle
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations must
not be considered compulsory. This is because
the configuration of the road, the amount of
traffic and safety remain determining factors
when choosing the best gear. Therefore, the
driver remains responsible for deciding whether
or not to follow the indications given.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an electronic or automatic
gearbox, the system is only active in
manual mode. The information appears in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. It may be
accompanied by a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear change
recommendation according to the
driving conditions (slope, load, ...) and
the demands of the driver (power,
acceleration, braking,
...).
The system never suggests:
- engaging first gear,
- engaging reverse gear.
On vehicle fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended.

Energy load
Load reduction mode
Principle
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Economy mode
Principle
System which manages the period of use of
certain functions to maintain an adequate state
of charge of the battery.
After switching off the engine and for a
maximum cumulative period of around
30 minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematic system, the
wipers, dipped beam, courtesy lamps, ...
Entry into the mode
Once this time has elapsed, a message
advising the entry into energy economy mode
appears in the screen and the active functions
on put on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at this time,
the connection via the audio system's hands-
free function will be maintained for around
10 minutes.
Coming out of the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and allow it run
for at least five minutes.
The engine will not start if the battery is
discharged.
