PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals, every 20,000 miles (30,000 km) or every two years. The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal.
It is for this reason that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between each regular service. The service indicator does not show when this service is due. It must be carried out every 10,000 miles (15,000 km).
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screen-wash up to 2 litres). If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 2000 miles (3000 km) or 3000 miles (5000 km), depending on the conditions of use. This extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

SERVICING LEVELS Each vehicle possesses its servicing cycle, defined by the manufacturer in terms of the technical features.
This cycle consists in alternating beteen 2 levels A and C, intermediate visits and a few additional operations specific to your vehicle; they correspond to key stages in the life of your 206 CC. Service level B concerns servicing of less recent vehicles.At your first and each subsequent service, your dealer will advise you of the type and content of the next service due.
Intermediate top-up visit incorporated in the ServicingSchedule.Automatic gearbox oil level every 40,000 miles (60,000 km).
Replacement of brake fluid every 2 years or 40,000 miles (60,000 km).
These fixed operations are carried out with synthetically based oil. Fuel Economy oil or
synthetic oil may also be used.

Handbrake and low brake fluid level or fault inElectronic Brake ForceDistribution system
warning light
Indicates either:
- that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
- an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains lit even with the handbrake released),
- a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system if lit simultane-
ously with the ABS warning light.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Instruments and controls
A permantly lit warning light or one that flashes with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating fault inthe relevant unit. Some warninglights may be accompanied by anaudible signal and a message onthe multifunction screen. Do notignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possi-
ble. If the Central STOP warninglight comes on when you are dri-ving, stop immediately where it issafe to do so.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light*
When this is lit continuously, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS system.
However, the vehicle retains con- ventional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to specification
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked with the central STOP
warning light.
Stop immediately.This warning light indicates either:
- insufficient oil pressure,
- lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
- oil temperature which is too high. Switching on of the warning light is accompanied by an audible signal.
To lower the oil temperature, reduceyour speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible.
Temperature and coolant low level warning light
Linked with the the central STOP warning light.
Stop immediately.Allow the engine to cool before top- ping up. The cooling system is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to pre-
vent the risk of scalding , turn the
cap twice to allow the pressure to drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central STOP warning light Linked with the warning
light for the "engine oil pressure", the "coolant temperature and low levelgauge", the "handbrake", the "brakefluid low level" and ''electronic brakingsystem fault'' as well as the "dooropen" warning indicated by a symbol
on the multifunction display. Stop immediately if the light is flashing with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
Ð service indicator (see corresponding section),
Ð engine oil level indicator, Ð total distance recorder/total and trip distances.Note:
the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approximate- ly 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whe- ther the message is correct; a surplus of oil cancause damage to the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum.
Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The figu- re shown is only correct if the vehicle has been onstable, level ground, with the engine stopped, for 10minutes. Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash; they indicate a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil temperature indicator light When the engine is running, it indicates the oil temperature:
- When the needle is in zone
C, the
temperature is correct,
- When the needle is in zone D, the
temperature is too high. To lower the oil temperature, reduce yourspeed.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE93
Checking levels Engine Oil level Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
(the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1000 km)). The check mustbe carried out with the vehicle leveland the engine cold.
There are two levelmarks on the dips-tick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the
manufacturerÕs requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or on the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
- The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the tank.
- In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
immediately. Fluid change
- Always to be carried out at the inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's ser- vicing schedule.
- Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by the engi-
ne fan. As this fan can operate with theignition key removed and because thecooling circuit is pressurised, wait at
least an hour after switching off theengine before carrying out any work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressure drop.When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
- Instrument dial gauge.

Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp wash reservoir* For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you useproducts approved by PEUGEOT(capacity 2.8 litres or 6.6 litres withheadlamp wash). Battery
At the start of winter, have your batte-
ry checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential.
If you drive in very
dusty conditions, change it twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicleswhich are used in town, for short jour-neys. It may be necessary to checkthe thickness of the pads even bet-ween services.
* According to specification. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change: have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.Only use products appro-
ved by Automobiles
