In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive, as soon as possible
when the traffi c conditions permit, at a

for at least fi ve minutes (until the warn-

SERVICE INDICATOR
This is a visual reminder of when the
next service is due. This service is to
be carried out according to the manu-
facturer’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 fol-
lows:

 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" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
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 spanner fl ash.

Example
: when the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the display in-
dicates that the service is overdue by
300 miles/km. The service should be
carried out very shortly.
Once the servicing and oil level informa-
tion has been displayed, the total distance
recorder resumes normal operation and
the spanner 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, depend-
ing on the user’s driving habits.
Operation
As soon as the ignition is switched on
and for 5 seconds, the spanner sym-
bolising the service operations is lit.
The trip recorder display shows the
distance remaining (in round fi gures)
before the next service.

Example
: when switching on the igni-
tion and for 5 seconds, the display shows
that 900 miles/km remain before the next
service is due.
After this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery,
lock the vehicle and wait for at
least fi 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 approx-
imately 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 confi rmed by check-
ing using the dipstick, it is imperative
that the level is topped up. Oil level gauge fault
(fl ashing segments)
Check the oil level using the dipstick.
If the level is correct, the fl ashing indi-
cates an engine oil level gauge mal-
function.
Consult 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.
