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.
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 span-
ner 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 infor-
mation has been displayed, the total
distance recorder resumes normal op-
eration 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.
Engine oil temperature indicator
When the ignition is switched on or
while the vehicle is moving, this indi-
cates the engine oil temperature.
When the needle is in zone C , the
temperature is correct.
When the needle is in zone D , the
temperature is too high.
Reduce your speed to lower the tem-
perature. 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 ig-
nition and for 5 seconds, the display
shows that 900 miles/km remain be-
fore the next service is due.

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.
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.
After this operation, if you wish

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING (DUAL ZONE)

Dual zone: this is the differentiated
regulation of the temperature and air
distribution on the driver's side and the
front passenger side.
The driver and his front passenger can
each adjust the temperature and the
distribution of the air to suit their re-
quirements.
The symbols and messages associat-
ed with the automatic air conditioning
controls appear on the multifunction
display.
Control by the Auto programme Automatic
programme - driver
and passenger
comfort (1)
Press the "AUTO" button. The indica-
tor light comes on. The "AUTO" sym-
bol is displayed on the multifunction
display.
Adjustment of the
temperature on the
driver's side (2)
Adjustment of the temperature
on the passenger side (3)

 Press the up or down arrow to
change the temperature on the
driver's side 2 or passenger side 3 .
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit, depending on the choice of
confi guration validated on the display.
A setting around the value 21 makes
it possible to obtain optimum comfort.
However, depending on your require-
ments, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.
Depending on the level of comfort selected,
the system controls the air distribution, fl ow,
temperature and intake of air in order to
guarantee comfort and an adequate circu-
lation of air in the passenger compartment.
You do not have to make any adjustments.
When the engine is cold, to
prevent too great a distribution
of cold air, the ventilation will
only reach its optimum level
progressively.

Front visibility control
(7)
In certain cases, the comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient to de-
mist or de-ice the windows (humidity,
several passengers, ice).

 In this case, select the front vis-
ibility programme in order to clear
the windows quickly. The indicator
light comes on.
It controls the air conditioning, air fl ow
and intake and distributes the ventila-
tion to the windscreen and front side
windows.
The front visibility control symbol is
displayed on the multifunction display.
Once the inconvenience has been
eliminated, pressing button 1 returns
the system to the comfort setting. Intake of exterior
air/Recirculation of
interior air (8)
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from ex-
terior fumes and odours.

 Press button 8 several times to
set the air intake mode, the indica-
tor light which corresponds to the
mode set comes on at your prefer-
ence:
- intake of exterior air. Forced ex- terior air intake mode.
- recirculation of the air inside the passenger compartment.
The indicator light which corre- sponds to the mode set comes
on. Prolonged operation in inte-
rior air recirculation mode may
result in the formation of con-
densation and deterioration of
the quality of the interior air.
Do not drive in air recirculation mode for prolonged periods, ex-
cept in truly exceptional atmos-
pheric conditions.
The message associated with the control is displayed on the
multifunction display.

 Press button 8 to return to auto-
matic control of the air intake. The
indicator lights are switched off.

For your comfort, when the igni-
tion is switched off, the settings are
stored until it is switched on again. Rear screen
demisting (9)
The heated rear screen operates inde-
pendently of the air conditioning system.

 Press button 9 , with the engine
running, to demist the rear screen
and the mirrors. The indicator light
comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatical-
ly to avoid an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the exterior
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing button 9
again or when the engine is switched
off.
However, the demisting resumes if the
engine is switched on again within one
minute.
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
