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 on.
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 conditions.
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 on.
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 400 miles/900 km remain
before the next service is due.

Dipstick
There are 2 level marks on
the dipstick: never exceed

In position B , top up the
level via the oil fi ller cap,
using the type of oil suited
to your engine.

A = max.

B = min.
Oil level correct
Oil level too low
Flashing indicates that the oil level is
too low, which may damage the en-
gine.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by
checking with the dipstick, the level
must be topped up. Oil level indicator 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

which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, the code is
recognised and starting is possible.

If the system does not
function correctly , the

the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
multifunction screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
