Recommendations for
approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table
opposite are suitable for most pur
poses.
The diagram opposite states the
optimum range of viscosity depen
ding on the temperatures at which
the oils are to be used.
It is also possible to use synthetic
oils of `superior quality'.
In the absence of semisynthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qua
lity (for petrol engines), or CD/CF
quality (for diesel engines) may be
used by following the 'Arduous
Conditions' servicing schedule, which
specifies shorter service intervals.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a Peugeot dealer to maintain
driving pleasure and to minimise the
maintenance cost of your vehicle.
For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
A permanently lit warning light, or flashing with the engine running, is an
indication of a malfunction in the relevant unit. Some warn ing lights may
be linked to buzzers and a message on the multi–function display. Do n ot
ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly a s possible.
If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are d riving, stop
your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.
Central (STOP) warning light
Linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''the low brake fluid l evel'', '' the
coolant temperature gauge'' and ''electronic brake force distrib u
tion system fault'' warning lights.
It comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning light.
Stop immediately if it comes on with the engine running.
It indicates either:
– insufficient oil pressure,
– lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil le vel.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Low coolant level
warning light
Stop immediately.
Allow the engine to cool before top
ping up.
The cooling system is pressurised.
In the event of a breakdown and to
prevent the risk of scalding, turn the
cap to the first notch to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel filler cap warning
light
This comes on if the fuel
cap is not correctly screwed
on or is missing.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force
distribution warning light.
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
– that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
– an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remai ns on even with the
handbrake released),
– lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Antilock braking system (ABS) warning light
This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched o n.
If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h), it indicates a malfun ction of the
ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servoassisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the
particulate emission
filter warning light
(diesel engine)
Display of this warning light is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The flashing of this light while the
engine is running is caused either by
the particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine running
too long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil
ter clogging if the same conditions of
operation are maintained.
As soon as possible, drive for at
least three minutes at a speed
exceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h), if dri
ving conditions allow this.
If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible. Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light co
mes on.
