PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 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 regular services.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles
(15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines. A PEUGEOT dealerwill carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash 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 2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use. The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

SERVICE LEVELS Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, based upon the engine type.
The servicing cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations depending on your vehicle; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 406. Level B service is designed for less recent vehicles.When the first service is carried out and at each subsequent service, your dealer will advise you of the type and content of the next service due.

Recommendations for recommended lubricants The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most pur-poses. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity depend-ing on the temperatures at which theoils are to be used. It is also possible to use synthetic oils of `superior quality'. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual-ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CFquality (for diesel engines) may beused by following the 'Arduous Con-ditions' servicing schedule, whichspecifies shorter service intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintaindriving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Automatic operation Automatic changing of thefour
gears :
 Select function Din the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most suitable gear on the basis of the fol-lowing parameters:
Ð driving style,
Ð road characteristics,
Ð the vehicle's load.The gearbox operates in auto-
adaptive mode without any action
on your part.
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off with the selector lever in position
P:
 It is essential to press the brakepedal to exit position P (shift
lock),
 Select the required function ( R, D,
3 , 2 or 1) then gradually release
the pressure on the brake pedal;the vehicle will move offimme-
diately.
You can also move off with the se-lector lever in position N:
 Release the handbrake with yourfoot on the brake,
 Select the required function ( R,D ,
3 , 2 or 1) then gradually release
the pressure on the brake pedal;the vehicle will move offimme-
diately.
DRIVING Y0UR 406 149
When the engine is idling, with the brakes not ap-plied, if function R,D, 3, 2
or 1is selected, the ve-
hicle will move even if you are notaccelerating. For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside the vehicle, when the engine isrunning. When maintenance operations need to be carried out with theengine running, apply the hand-brake and select function P.
Never select function Nwhen the
vehicle is moving. Never select functions Por R
unless the vehicle is stationary.Do not change from one position to another to improve braking effi-ciency on a slippery surface.
With the selector lever in position P , it will be impossible to change
to another position if your batteryis flat.
Remarks:
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-box will change down automaticallyor stay in the gear selected, up tomaximum engine speed. When braking, the gearbox changes down automatically so as to provide
efficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accele-
rator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change up, so as to improve safety.
