WARNING LIGHTS

A permanently lit warning light or one fl ashing, with th e engine running, indicates an operating fault of the uni t con-
cerned. The illumination of certain warning lights may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message o n the
multifunction display. Do not ignore this warning: consul t a PEUGEOT dealer.

If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately, where it is safe to
do so.
Central STOP
warning light
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the ig-
nition is switched on.
Linked to the warning lights:
- "engine oil pressure and temperature",
- "punctured wheel",
- "maximum coolant temperature",
- "handbrake", "low brake fl uid level", and "electronic brake
force distribution".

You must stop if the light comes
on with the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Engine oil pressure
and temperature
warning light
This comes on for a few seconds each
time the ignition is switched on.
Linked to the central STOP warning
light.
If this warning light comes on, with
the engine running, it indicates one
of the following:
- insuffi cient oil pressure,
- a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the level,
- an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is accom-
panied by an audible signal. To
lower the oil temperature, reduce
your speed.

You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Service warning light
This comes on for a few sec-
onds each time the ignition is
switched on.
If this warning light comes on, with the en-
gine running, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multifunc-
tion display, it indicates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the systems which
does not have a specifi c warning light.
Consult the message on the multi-
function display to identify the system
concerned.
Check:
- the remote control battery,
- the pressure of the tyres,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the condition of the bulbs.
For all other cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The lighting of this warning light may
also indicate the start of saturation of
the particle emission fi lter (Diesel),
due to exceptionally prolonged urban
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive, as soon as traf-
fi c conditions permit, at a speed of
35 mph (60 km/h) or more for at least
fi ve minutes (until the warning light
switches off).
If the warning light remains on, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

Lack of oil
If "OIL" fl ashes and the service
warning light comes on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display, this
indicates a lack of oil which could
damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on,
the engine oil level is indicated for
approximately 5 seconds after the
service indicator display.
Oil level gauge fault
Check the oil level using the dip-
stick.
If "OIL --" fl ashes, this indicates a
malfunction of the engine oil level
gauge.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY
After switching on the ignition, three
functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator,
- engine oil level indicator
- total distance recorder (total and trip distances).
The level read on the dipstick
will only be correct if the ve-
hicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct

Note: the trip distance is displayed
for thirty seconds, when the ignition
is switched off, on opening and
closing the driver’s door as well as
on locking the vehicle.
It also displays the "2 Tronic" gear-
box positions and operating modes
selected, as well as the information
relating to the cruise control or speed
limiter when one of these functions is
active.

VENTILATION

1. Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vent.

2. Side window de-icing or
demisting vents.

3. Side vents.

4. Central vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

7. Temperature sensor. Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a long period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents and the
air outlets to the footwells.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in a high tempera-
ture), cutting off the air conditioning
permits recovery of the engine power
and therefore improvement of the
towing capacity.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter, located underneath the
windscreen, in the engine compart-
ment, is in good condition. Have the
fi lter elements replaced regularly
(refer to the chapter "Checks - § Checks").
If you drive in a dusty environment,
change them twice as often. We recommend the use of a
combined passenger compartment
fi lter. By means of its second special
active fi lter, it contributes to the
purifi cation of the air breathed by the
occupants and to the cleanness of the
passenger compartment (reduction
of allergic symptoms, unpleasant
odours and oily deposits).
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.
The condensation created by the
air conditioning results in a fl ow of
water underneath the vehicle when
stationary which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not cover the temperature sen-
sor
7 , it is used for regulation of the
air conditioning.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine
and does not present any
danger to the ozone layer.

If this warning light comes on on
the instrument panel and the in-
dicator light on the button comes
on, this indicates that the ASR
and ESP systems are disarmed.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The warning light fl ashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated. Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may
be advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button,
located in the centre of the
fascia.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually. Operating fault
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction display,
this indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer excep-
tional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver
to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by acting
on the brakes of the drive wheels and
on the engine. It also allows the direc-
tional stability of the vehicle to be im-
proved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the en-
gine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.

Seat belt not fastened warning If the driver and/or the
front passenger has
not fastened his seat
belt, the corresponding
warning light comes
on when the ignition is on, then, at a
speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), this
is accompanied by an audible signal
the volume of which increases (for ap-
proximately two minutes) and a mes-
sage on the multifunction display.

Note: a bag or an animal placed on
the front passenger seat may trigger
lighting of the warning light.
Seat belt unfastened warning
If the driver and/or one
of the passengers has
unfastened his seat
belt, the corresponding
warning light comes on
when the engine is running, then, at a
speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), this
is accompanied by an audible signal
the volume of which increases (for ap-
proximately two minutes) and a mes-
sage on the multifunction display. Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fi tted with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
The retaining of the rear seat belt
buckle by the sliding block makes
folding down or complete folding of
the seats easier.
Fastening

 Pull the strap, then insert the
buckle in the stalk.

 Check that the seat belt is
fastened correctly by pulling the
strap.
Unfastening

 Press the red button on the
stalk.
Version with colour display
If the driver and/or one of the pas-
sengers has not fastened (or has
unfastened) his seat belt, a message
appears on the multifunction display.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be
changed at the intervals stat-
ed, according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards. Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT .
When the level is low, this is indicated
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can ope-
rate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.

Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level must always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and
top up between changes. The
maximum consumption is 0.5 l
per 600 miles (1 000 km).
Check the level with the ve-
hicle level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument panel
or the dipstick.

CHECKS
Handbrake Where the handbrake travel
is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance
of the system, the hand-
brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox
This does not require an oil
change. Have the level checked
in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that maintenance of
the particle emission fi lter is carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule. Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends
on the style of driving, in
particular for vehicles which
are used in town, over short
distances.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to the
wear of the surfaces of the discs and
drums, contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Oil filter
Change the fi lter regular-
ly, in accordance with the
servicing schedule.
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quali-
ty and characteristics.
To ensure best performance
from components as important as the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects
and offers quite specifi c products.
To prevent damage to the electrical
units, high pressure washing of the
engine compartment is strictly pro-
hibited .
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the servicing book-
let for information on the re-
placement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the ve-
hicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often, if necessary (refer to
the "Engines" paragraph).
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and produce unpleasant odours.
To check the main levels
and certain components,
in accordance with the
manufacturer’s servic-
ing schedule, refer to the pages of
the servicing booklet which corre-
spond to your vehicle’s engine.
Following prolonged opera-
tion of the vehicle at very
low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice steam coming from
the exhaust during acceleration. This
has no effect on the performance of
the vehicle or on the environment.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (doors, windscreen wipers,
electric windows, courtesy light, audio
equipment, dipped headlamps, etc.)
can only be used for a cumulative
duration of thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message informing you of the switch
to economy mode appears on the
multifunction display and the active
functions are put on standby.
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let
it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the duration for which the en-
gine is left running. However, this pe-
riod will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.

Note: if the telephone is being used
when economy mode starts, it will
still be possible to fi nish the call.
A fl at battery will prevent the
engine from starting.
FITTING/REMOVING THE MAT
When removing the mat on the driv-
er’s side, push the seat as far back
as possible and remove the fi xings.
When refi tting, position the mat cor-
rectly on the pins and clip the fi xings.
Check that the mat is secured cor-
rectly.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- only use mats suited to the fi x-ings already present in the ve-
hicle. It is imperative that these
fi xings are used.
- never fi t one mat on top of an- other.
Placing the wiper blades in the
special position

 Less than a minute after switch-
ing off the ignition, operate the
wipers stalk to position the wiper
blades in the centre of the wind-
screen.
