When the engine speed is too low
or too high in relation to the gear
engaged, the gear selected flashes
for a few seconds, then the actual

programme having taken control
temporarily.

SERVICE INDICATOR
This is a visual reminder of when
the next service is due. This service
is to be carried out according to the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.Service indicator zero re-set
Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
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 re-
set button,
 Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "= 0" and the
service symbol disappears, release
the button.
Once an engine oil level indication has
been displayed, the display indicates
the total and trip distances. If the service is overdue
, each
time the ignition is switched on and
for 5 seconds, the distance and the
service spanner flash.
Example: when the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the display
indicates that the service is overdue
by 300 miles/km. The service should
be carried out very shortly.
Once the servicing and oil level
information has been displayed, the
total distance recorder resumes normal
operation and the symbol remains lit.
The point at which a service is due is
calculated using two parameters:
- the total distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the user’s driving habits.
Operation
As soon as the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the spanner
symbolising "service operation" is lit.
The trip recorder display shows the
distance remaining (in round figures)
before the next service.
Example:
when switching on the
ignition and for 5 seconds, the display
shows that 900 miles/km remain
before the next service is due.
Important: after this operation,
if you wish to disconnect the
battery, lock the vehicle and
wait for at least five 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
approximately 5 seconds, after the
service information.Dipstick
There are 2 level marks on
the dipstick: never exceed
level A.
In position B, top up the
level via the oil reservoir
cap, using the type of oil
suited to your engine.
A = max.
B = min. Trip recorder zero reset
Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing indicates a lack of oil which
may damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confirmed by checking
using the dipstick, it is imperative that
the level is topped up. Oil level gauge fault
(flashing segments)
Check the oil level using the dipstick.
If the level is correct, the flashing
indicates an engine oil level gauge
malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The level observed on the dipstick is
only valid if the vehicle is parked on
level ground and the engine has been
off for more than 15 minutes.
The total distance is displayed in zone
A of the display and the trip distance
in zone B.
Distance recorder
With the trip distance displayed, press
the button for a few seconds.

TRIP COMPUTER
orTRIP: access to the trip
computer displays.
Each successive press on the button
located at the end of the wipers stalk
displays different information.
- the "vehicle" tab with:
• the range and the current consumption,
- tab "1" (route 1) with:
• the average consumption, the distance travelled and the average
speed calculated over route "1",
- tab "2" (route 2) with the same
characteristics for a second route.
Range (km or miles)
Current consumption
(l/100 or km/l or mpg)
This is the average quantity of
fuel consumed during the last few
seconds.
This function is displayed only when
the vehicle is travelling at a speed
greater than 20 mph (30 km/h).
LIGHTING RHEOSTAT
Zero reset
When the required route is displayed,
press the control for more than two
seconds.
With the lights on, press the button
to vary the intensity of the lighting of
the instruments and controls. When
the lighting reaches the minimum (or
maximum) setting, release the button
then press it again to increase (or
reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.
This shows the distance that can still
be covered with the fuel remaining
in the tank in accordance with the
average consumption over the last
few miles (kilometres).
This figure may increase if there is a
change in the style of driving or the
road surface, producing a significant
drop in current consumption.
When the range is less than 20 miles
(30 km), four segments are displayed.
After filling with fuel, the range is
displayed when it exceeds 62 miles
(100 km).
If horizontal segments are displayed
for long periods instead of digits,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
