Service indicatorMore than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last reset of the indicator,
according to the mileage covered and the time
elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree of
deterioration of the engine oil is also taken into
account.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner symbolising the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display line indicates the
distance remaining before the next service is due.
Example:
1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
screen indicates:
7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off ; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal

Service overdue
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
spanner flashes to indicate that the service must
be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles
(3 0 0 k m).
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the
screen indicates: 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
warranty and maintenance record.
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.
7 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on.

Advice
Take care 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.

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).

Locating your vehicle
If you do not press the button when
folding the key, there is a risk of
damage to the mechanism. The original key contains a coded electronic
chip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in.

In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of the
warning lamp, an audible signal and
the display of a message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
