and the engine oil dipstick, refer to the
corresponding section.
There are 2 marks on the dipstick: -

A

level,
-

B
= min; top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the
grade of oil suited to your
engine.

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.

General safety recommendations
Labels are applied at various
points on your vehicle. They carry
safety warnings as well as vehicle
identification information. Do not
remove them: they form an integral part
of your vehicle.We draw your attention to
the following points:
- The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not listed by
PEUGEOT
may cause faults and
failures with the electrical system of
your vehicle. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information on the range
of recommended accessories.
-

A
s a safety measure, access to
the diagnostic socket, used for
the vehicle's electronic systems,
is reserved strictly for PEUGEOT
dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools
required (risk of malfunctions of the
vehicle's electronic systems that
could cause breakdowns or serious
accidents). The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible if this
advice is not followed.
-
A

ny modification or adaptation
not intended or authorised by
Automobiles PEUGEOT or
carried out without meeting the
technical requirements defined
by the manufacturer would lead
to the suspension of the legal and
contractual warranties.
Installation of accessory
radio communication
transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter, you must contact a
PEUGEOT dealer for the specification
of transmitters which can be fitted
(frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specific installation
requirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/EC).
Depending on the legislation in force in
the country, certain safety equipment
may be compulsory: high visibility
safety vests, warning triangles,
breathalyzers, spare bulbs, spare fuses,
fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps
at the rear of the vehicle.
The fitting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT may result
in a failure of your vehicle's electronic
system and excessive electrical
consumption.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
for information on the range of
recommended equipment and
accessories.
For any work on your vehicle, use
a qualified workshop that has the
technical information, skills and
equipment required, all of which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Three flashes
Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
3 times.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds,
the volume of the audible signal will
increase if the speed is above 40 mph
(60 km/h).
Hazard warning lamps
F Press this button, all of the direction indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads. Visual warning with of all the direction
indicators flashing to alert other road users to a
vehicle breakdown, towing or accident.
Automatic operation
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, the lamps come on
automatically.
They switch off automatically the first time you
accelerate.

The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
For more information on the
identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed illumination of
this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and, depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
F

R

educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking
F

S

top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
F
I n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F

i
f you have a compressor, such as the one
in the temporary puncture repair kit, check
the pressures of the four tyres when cold,
or
F

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressures are adjusted,
and after changing one or more wheels.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
