Low fuel level
This comes on for a few seconds each time
the ignition is switched on.
When the warning light comes on,
accompanied by the message "Fuel level
low" on the display, there is enough fuel
remaining to drive approximately 30 miles
(50 km) (the tank capacity is approximately
80 litres).
This light flashes to indicate a malfunction
of the fuel gauge or cutting-off of the fuel
supply, if it is accompanied by the message
"Fuel circuit neutralised" on the display.
This is linked to the central STOP warning
light.
It comes on for a few seconds each time the
ignition is switched on.
This warning light is accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the display
indicating the cause of the warning:
- "Handbrake on", if the handbrake is on or
not released correctly while driving,
- "Brake fluid level low" in the event of an
excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if
the warning light remains lit even with the
handbrake released),
- "Braking fault",displayed at the same
time as the ABS warning light, indicating an
electronic brake force distribution system
fault.Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake, low brake fluid
level and electronic brake
force distribution
Restore the supply (refer to the "Fuel"
section of the "Maintenance" chapter)
or contact a PEUGEOT dealer, depending
on the circumstances.

On the pivoting front seat version, the
handbrake can be disengaged. The
action of pulling the handbrake to immobilise
the vehicle then lowering the lever does not
release the handbrake, it facilitates pivoting
of the driver ’s seat.
Also, do not forget to raise the lever and
fully release the handbrake before setting off
again. The warning light on the instrument
panel will remain on as in this configuration
when the lever is lowered this does not
mean that the brake is released.
Release the brake to switch off the warning
light.

Instruments and controls
This comes on for a few seconds each time
the ignition is switched on.
In cold weather, wait until it goes out before
trying the starter.
If the temperature is high enough, the
warning light comes on for less than one
second, you can start without waiting.
This comes on for a few seconds each
time the ignition is switched on. If the
warning light remains on or comes on while
the engine is running, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the
display, it indicates one of the following:
- a low coolant level,
- a low diesel additive reservoir level,
- the start of clogging of the particulate
emission filter.
- the presence of water in the diesel fuel.

Low coolant level
This is linked to the central STOP warning
light and the service warning light.
It comes on for a few seconds each time the
ignition is switched on.
Illumination of this warning light, with the
engine running, is accompanied by an
audible signal and the message "Top up
engine coolant level" on the display.
Stop immediately.
Particulate emission filter saturation
warning
The message "Diesel additive minimum
level" or "Risk of clogging of the
particulate emission filter" on the display,
accompanied by an audible signal and
displaying of the service warning light,
indicates a particulate emission filter fault.
When this occurs with the engine running,
this is due to the particulate emission filter
starting to become clogged (exceptionally
prolonged urban driving conditions: reduced
speed, long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive, as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit, at a speed of
35 mph (60 km/h) or more for at least five
minutes (until the message is cleared and
the service warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particulate
emission filter, relay noise may be heard
under the fascia.
If the message is still displayed and the
service warning light remains lit, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Pre-heat
Diesel: specific warning lights
Allow the engine to cool before topping

Service indicator
Located in the instrument panel with
the total distance recorder (total and
trip distances), this programmes service
intervals according to the use of the vehicle.
Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
the distance travelled.
the time which has elapsed since the last
service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
The distance remaining before the next
service is less than 500 miles/1 000 km.
Each time the ignition is switched on and
for a few seconds, the spanner flashes and
the number of miles/kilometres remaining is
displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
The service is overdue*.
Each time the ignition is switched on and for
a few seconds, the spanner flashes and the
excess distance is displayed.
With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.
* First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also lights up if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the driver ’s driving
habits.
Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition
is switched on and for a few seconds, the
display shows:

GEARBOXES

For immediate maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever, press
the accelerator pedal down as far as it will
go to the end of its travel passing the point
of resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will
automatically change down or maintain the
gear selected until maximum engine speed
is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically
change down in order to provide efficient
engine braking and good re-acceleration.
If you take your foot off the accelerator
suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a
higher gear for reasons of safety.
Snow programme
In addition to the auto-adaptive programme,
there is a special programme.
The programme is displayed on the
instrument panel screen.
The Snow programme improves starting and
drive when traction is poor.
Press button  once the vehicle has
been started and position D selected.
The gearbox adapts to driving on slippery
roads.

unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running .
When maintenance operations need to be
carried out with the engine running, apply
the handbrake and select position P.
Automatic operation
Automatic changing of the four gears:
select position D in the gate.
The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear according to the following
parameters:
the style of driving,
the road profile,
the vehicle load.
The gearbox is then operating in
auto-adaptive mode, without any action on
your part.
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
