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.
