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 must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between two oil changes is normal. It is for this reason, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and top-up midway between two routine services, at the time or distance intervals specified. This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within the PEUGEOT network. At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot safety check, for a nominal fee.
A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant and screen wash).
The date of the intermediate visit 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. 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 ESSENTIALTO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER

Make a careful note of the number of each key. This number is coded on the label attached to the key. If the key is lost, your PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply you with new keys. The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system.
Do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock your vehicle.The remote control cannot operate while the key is in the ignition, even if the ignition is off, except for reprogramming.
However, do not operate the deadlocking system if there is someone inside the vehicle.As a safety measure (when there are children on board), remove the key from the ignition when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.
Avoid operating the remote control buttons out of range of your vehicle; you run the risk of stopping it from working. It would then be necessary to reprogramme it. When buying a second-hand vehicle:
- check that you have been given the confidential card;
- have the keys memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer to be sure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.

AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON OF THE LIGHTS Side lights and dipped beam head- lamps switch on automatically if the
light is poor, or during continuousoperation of the windscreen wipers.
They switch off as soon as the lightbecomes bright enough or the wind-screen wipers stop. This function is active when the vehi-
cle is supplied to the customer.
To disarm or activate the function: Place the key in the accessories position (1st notch),
 Press the end of the lights stalkfor more than two seconds.
Note: In foggy weather, the bright-
ness sensor can detect sufficientlight. Because of this, the lights do
not come on automatically. Do not cover the brightness sen-
sor connected to the rain sensor,located in the windscreen behind
the mirror. It is used for automaticswitching on of the lights. Operating check Activation Activation of this function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage
"Automatic lighting of
the headlamps activated" on the
multi-function display. Note: Always operate the lighting
controls manually where this is pos- sible. Disarming Disarming of the function is accom- panied by an audible signal. When driving, if this function is
switched off when the headlampswould switch on in automatic mode,the lights remain on. It is however possible to disarm this
function and switch off the lights by:
- manually switching off the lights using the lights stalk,
- switching off the engine. If the brightness sensor does not
function correctly,
the system acti-
vates the function (the lights comeon). The driver is alerted by the flashingof the ''dipped beam'' warning lighton the instrument panel.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. Follow me Home When there is a low level of bright- ness or at night, if you leave yourvehicle, the side lights and thedipped beam lights may remain onfor approximately one minute.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS system.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If thereis a variation between the trajectoryfollowed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP sys-tem automatically acts on the engineand the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes.
