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 ser vice 
information.
Oil level correctLow oil level
Oil level gauge fault
The level read will only be correct if the 
vehicle is on level ground and the engine 
has been stopped for more than thirty 
minutes.
For more information on Checking the 
levels
 and, in particular, the oil level, refer 
to the corresponding section.
The flashing of OIL- -
 indicates a malfunction 
of the engine oil level gauge. Contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. The flashing of OIL , together with the Ser vice 
warning lamp, accompanied by an audible 
signal and a message on the screen, indicates 
a low oil level which could damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by checking with 
the dipstick, the level must be topped up.

Operation
The warning lamp flashes when the 
ASR or ESC is triggered.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that 
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose 
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the 
ASR and ESC systems, so that the wheels can 
spin and regain grip.F
 
P
 ress the button or turn the 
knob to the ESC OFF position 
(depending on version).
The LED lights up: the ASR and ESC systems 
are deactivated.
They reactivate again:
-
 
a
 utomatically above 31   mph (50   km/h),
If there is a difference between the path followed 
by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the 
ESC system automatically acts on the brake of 
one or more wheels and on the engine to return 
the vehicle to the required path.
- manually when you press the button again or turn the knob 
to this position (depending on 
ve r s i o n).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the 
systems, the warning lamp and the 
LED come on, accompanied by an 
audible signal and a message on the 
screen.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the 
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure of 
each tyre.
Although the ASR /ESC systems help to 
improve safety in normal driving, they 
should not encourage the driver to take 
extra risks or drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems 
is ensured if the recommendations of the 
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres 
and rims), the braking components, the 
electronic components and the fitting and 
repair procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Grip control
Special patented traction control system which 
improves traction on snow, mud and sand.
This system, the operation of which has been 
optimised for each situation, allows you to 
manoeuvre in most conditions of poor grip 
(encountered during passenger car use).
The accelerator pedal should be pressed 
sufficiently to allow the system to use the power 
of the engine. Operation at high engine speeds 
is completely normal.
A five-position selector knob allows you to 
choose the setting best suited to the driving 
conditions encountered.
An indicator lamp associated with each mode 
comes on to confirm your choice.

Gear shift indicator
This system helps reduce fuel consumption by 
recommending the most appropriate gear.
With an electronic gearbox, the system is active 
only 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 shift 
recommendation according to the driving 
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the 
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration, 
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
 e
ngaging first gear,
-
 enga
ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine 
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during 
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). 
The engine restarts automatically – START 
mode – as soon as you want to move off. 
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and 
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system 
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust 
emissions as well as the noise level when 
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The " ECO" indicator lamp in the 
instrument panel comes on and the 
engine goes into standby:
-
 
w
ith a manual gearbox , at a speed below 
12
 
mph (20   km/h) (depending on version), 
when you move the gear lever into neutral 
and release the clutch pedal.
-
 
w
ith a 6-speed electronic gearbox , 
when stationary or at a speed below 5
  mph 
(8
 
km/h), when you press the brake pedal or 
move the gear selector into position N .
If your vehicle is so equipped, a time counter 
calculates the total time spent in STOP mode 
during a journey. It is reset to zero every time 
the ignition is switched on using the key.
Depending on the driving situation and your 
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise 
you to skip one (or several) gear(s). You can 
follow this instruction without engaging the 
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional. 
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic 
density and safety remain the determining 
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver 
remains responsible for deciding whether or not 
to follow this advice.
This function cannot be deactivated.
