ly to change (transport by ship,
lorry, towing, ...), apply the park-
ing brake manually to maximum force
(long pull on control lever A ) to immo-
bilise the vehicle.

The level shown will only be
correct if the vehicle is on lev-
el ground and the engine has
been off for more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not. This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
Oil level correct

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL" ,
linked with the service warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL --" .
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:
- A = max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),
- B = min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, us-
ing the grade of oil suit-
ed to your engine.

The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger
to the ozone layer. Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
REAR VENTILATION ADJUSTMENT
After pressing the "REAR" button, turn
the adjustment dial of the rear side
vents to decrease or increase the fl ow
of air.
Take care not to obstruct the side vents
and the air outlets on the fl oor.
To shut off the fl ow of air, close the vents
and set the dial to 0.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the o
peration and mainte-
nance guidelines below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.

 To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.

 Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air
recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in perfect working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condit ion and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" sectio n).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger comp artment fi lter. Thanks
to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation of the air
breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of th e passenger compartment
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and gre asy deposits).

 The air conditioning uses power from the engine w hile operating. This results
in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in h igh ambi-
ent temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves eng ine power and
so improves towing capacity.
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a d ischarge of water
under the vehicle when stationary, which is perfectly normal.

 To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.

 If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

The key cannot be removed
from the lock until the cap is
put back on the tank.
Opening the cap may trigger an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is
completely normal, is caused by the
sealing of the fuel system.
FUEL TANK To fi ll the tank safely:

 the engine must be switched off,

 open the fuel fi ller fl ap,

 insert the key in the cap, then turn it
to the left,
When refuelling is complete:

 put the cap back in place,

 turn the key to the right, then remove
it from the cap,

 close the fi ller fl ap.

 remove the cap and secure it on the
hook, located on the inside of the
fl ap,

 fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle ;
this could cause malfunctions.
Low fuel level
Operating fault
A malfunction of the fuel gauge is indi-
cated by the return to zero of the fuel
gauge needle.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refuelling
A label affi xed to the inside of the fi ller
fl ap reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used according to your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be added in
order to be registered by the fuel gauge. When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen. When
the lamp fi rst comes on, there is approxi-
mately

6 litres of fuel remaining.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this
warning lamp appears every time the
ignition is switched on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message. When
driving, this audible signal and message
are repeated with increasing frequency,
as the fuel level drops towards "0" .
You must refuel to avoid run-
ning out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel),
refer also to the "Checks"
section.

Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.

Dynamic stability control (DSC) The DSC system offers excep-
tional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage
the driver to take extra risks or drive
at high speed.
The correct functioning of the system
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer's recommendations regard-
ing the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the PEUGEOT as-
sembly and operation procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground...), it may be ad-
visable to deactivate the DSC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.
 Press the "ESP OFF" button.
This warning lamp and the
indicator lamp on the button
come on: the DSC system no
longer acts on the operation of
the engine.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back
on or from 30 mph (50 km/h). Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, this indicates
a malfunction of the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the
system checked.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.
Activation
This system is activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
It comes into operation in the event of a
grip or trajectory problem.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate it manually.
