However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as
follows:

 Switch off the ignition,

 Press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,

 Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release

Important: after this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait for at least i ve
minutes, otherwise the zero re-set
will not be registered.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for a few
seconds, after the service information.
Oil level correct
Oil level gauge fault Flashing of "OIL --"
indicates a malfunc-
tion of the engine oil
level gauge.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
Flashing of
"OIL" ,
linked with the
service warning
light, accompa-
nied by an audible
signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction display, in-
dicates a lack of oil which could dam-
age the engine.
If the lack of oil is coni rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-
tial that the level is topped up.
Lack of oil Dipstick
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- never exceed level A,
- in position B, top up the level via the oil i ller
cap, using the type of

COMFORT
6. Demisting the rear screen and the mirrors
Pressing the button once
demists the rear screen
and the exterior mirrors.
This switches off automati-
cally to prevent an exces-
sive consumption of current.
Pressing again reactivates demisting.
It is possible to stop demisting be-
fore it is switched off automatically by
pressing the button again. In certain cases of particu-
larly arduous use (towing the
maximum load on a steep
gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
In order for the air conditioning to be
fully effective, the windows must be
closed.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water produced by the air con-
ditioning condensation is discharged
through an opening provided for this
purpose. Therefore, a puddle of wa-
ter may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
In order to ensure that the air condi-
tioning system operates correctly, reg-
ular checks are also recommended.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
5. Air intake/Air recirculation
Pressing button 5 permits
recirculation of the interior
air. This is indicated by il-
lumination of the indicator
light.
As soon as possible, press button

5 again to permit the intake of out-
side air, to prevent deterioration of
the air quality and to avoid misting of
the windows. This is indicated by the
switching off of the indicator light.
The interior air recirculation enables
you to isolate the passenger com-
partment from exterior odours and
smoke.
The outside air intake enables you to
prevent and eliminate misting of the
windscreen and side windows.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, air recirculation enables
performance to be improved.
Used in a humid climate, air recir-
culation may result in misting of the
windows.
Rapid demisting of the wind-
screen
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- place the air distribution control in the "windscreen and side win-
dows" position,
- place the temperature 2 and air
l ow 3 controls at maximum, as
indicated by the "Windscreen
and side windows" symbol on the
control panel,
- close the centre vents,
- switch air intake button 5 to the
"Outside Air Intake" position (but-
ton 5 indicator light off),
- start the air conditioning by press- ing button 1 .

SAFETY

To adjust the height of the
front seat belts

 To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.

 To raise the attachment point,
slide control 1 upwards.
Fastening the seat belts

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

 Check that the seat belt is fas-
tened by pulling the strap.
Unfastening the seat belts
When the ignition is switched
on, the warning light comes
on on the instrument panel
if the driver has not fastened
his seat belt.
With the engine running and the
doors closed, the light switches off
automatically after 30 seconds.
If the seat belt is unfastened:
- below 12 mph (20 km/h), the light comes on continuously,
- above 12 mph (20 km/h) and for two minutes, the warning light
l ashes accompanied by an audible
signal of increasing volume. Once
these two minutes have elapsed,
the warning light remains on until
the driver fastens his seat belt.
Rear seat belts
The three rear seats are all i tted with
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
The side seats are i tted with force-
limiting devices.
SEAT BELTS Seat belt unfastened/not
fastened warning light

 Press the red button on the stalk
then remove the buckle.
Pre-tensioning and
force-limiting front
seat belts
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning and force-lim-
iting front seat belts. Depending on
the seriousness of the impact, the
pre-tensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belt i rmly against the
body of the occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.

CHECKS

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never i ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer’s require-
ments.
Note: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Dipstick
Cooling system
Use the l uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. This fan can oper-
ate with the ignition off.

In the case of vehicles i tted with
a particle emission i lter, the fan
can operate after the vehicle has
stopped, even when the engine is
cold.
In addition, as 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.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
If the service warning light comes on,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, this indicates a low
diesel additive level.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
Brake fluid level
* According to engine.
Oil level
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited.
The level should always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark.
Power steering reservoir
Remove the style trim * (see §
"Changing a bulb - Front lights").
Open the reservoir, with the engine
at ambient temperature. The level
should always be above the MIN.
mark and close to the MAX. mark.
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT.


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. Replacement must be car-
ried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing
schedule.
Use l uids recommended by
the manufacturer, which fuli l DOT4
standards.

10PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Driving advice
Distribution of loads:
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Braking:
towing increases the
braking distance.
Lights: check the electrical
signalling on the trailer.
Side wind: take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
TOWING A TRAILER, A
CARAVAN, A BOAT, ETC...
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the i tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not i tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is i tted using the electrical
pre-equipment located at the rear of
the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signii cant
stress and its driver must be
particularly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The rear parking assistance function
will be disarmed automatically when
a towbar is i tted.
