After this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait for at least
five
minutes, otherwise the zero re-set

Engine oil level indicator
Depending on your vehicle's engine,
when the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
a few
seconds, after the service
information. Oil level
correct
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL",
linked with the
service warning lamp,
accompanied by an

could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a
malfunction of the
engine oil level
indicator. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes. Dipstick
A = maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil
may damage the engine.

To change gear easily, always depress
the clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned
and secured correctly on the floor
,
-
never fit one mat on top of another
.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand
on the gear knob as the force exerted,
even if slight, may wear the internal
components of the gearbox over time.
Changing into 5th or 6th gear
To engage the gear correctly, move the
gear lever fully to the right.
Engaging reverse gear
The lever should be moved slowly
to reduce noise.
To engage reverse gear, wait until the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
When the vehicle is stationary,
release the steering wheel adjustment
mechanism by pulling the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height
and reach, then lock the mechanism by

The Stop & Start system
requires a battery of specific
characteristics. All work on this
type of battery must be done only
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V
battery, refer to "Battery" in section 8.

Diesel pre-heating warning
lamp
If the temperature is high
enough, the warning lamp
comes on for less than
one
second, you can start
without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning
lamp to go off then operate the starter
(Starting position) until the engine
starts.
Door or bonnet open warning lamp
If this comes on, a door or
the bonnet is not closed
correctly, check!
Minimise engine and gearbox wear
When switching off the ignition, let the
engine run for a few seconds to allow
the turbocharger (Diesel engine) to
return to idle.
Do not press the accelerator when
switching off the ignition.
There is no need to engage a gear
after parking the vehicle.
STARTING AND ST OPPING

The ignition is off. Turn the steering
wheel until the steering locks. Remove
the key.
Opening the bonnet
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop & Start
system to avoid the risk of injury
related to an automatic change to
START mode.

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the flow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated
carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good
condition and have all of the filter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows closed. However, if the
interior temperature remains high
after a prolonged period parked in
the sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air flow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in good working order.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be sufficient to quickly demist or
defrost the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation. It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a flow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
