Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
¥ For dual-fuel Petrol or LPG*/CNG** engines: every 20 000 miles (30 000 km)or every two years.
Warning, LPG/CNG checks every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) or every year.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years.
The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. This is why the PEUGEOT network is offering you an intermediate service between regular services.
The date of this visit is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carriedout at least every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) for petrol engines and dual-fuelpetrol or LPG/CNG engines; every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injectiondiesel engines.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check and top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, windscreen wash up to 2 litres). If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 to 3,000 miles (3 000 to 5 000 km),depending on the conditions of use. This extended servicing has been made possible by modifications to our vehicles and to the lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS THAT ARE
SUITABLE AND RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
* Liquid Petroleum Gas.
** Compressed Natural Gas.

Water in diesel filter warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Illumination of this warning light indicates that there is water in the diesel
filter.
There is a risk of damage to the injection system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 31
Passenger air bag disarmed warning light This comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the warning light comes on when the ignition is switched on and stays on.
In all cases, if the warning light flashes, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Low fuel level warning light The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Illumination of this warning light while the engine is running indicates
that the fuel level is low.
When the warning comes on, you have at least 8 litres of fuelleft.
Air bag warning light The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.Illumination of this warning light while the engine is running indicates:
Ð a front air bag fault, orÐ a side air bag fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Front brake pad wear warning light Lighting of this warning light
while the engine is running and the vehicle is moving and when youpress the brake pedal indicatesextreme wear of the front brakepads.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

Programming the remote control  Switch off the ignition.
 Switch the ignition on again.
 Immediately press button A.
 Switch off the ignition and remove the remote control key
from the ignition lock. The remotecontrol is now working again.
Confidential card The confidential card is necessary for any work carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer on the system. It contains:
Ð a five digit identification code
1necessary for the emergency
starting procedure,
Ð a code 2for reproduction of your
keys by a PEUGEOT dealer.
These codes are hidden by a film, which should be removed only if
necessary. Keep your card in a safe place, never inside the vehicle. Key in ignition
A buzzer sounds on opening the dri-
ver's door, if the key has been left inthe ignition. Changing the battery of the remote control If the indicator light on the key lights only once, or does not light at allwhen the button is pressed, change
the battery.
To do this, unclip the casing using a
coin at the ring (CR 2032/3 volt battery). If the remote control does not work after the battery has been changed,reinitialise the remote control.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE IMMOBILISER This locks the engine control system as soon as the ignition has been
switched off and therefore preventsstarting of the vehicle by anyone
who does not have the key. The ignition key has an electronic chip which has a special code.When the ignition is switched on, thecode must be recognised for startingto be possible. If the system does not function

The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, byacting on the brakes of the drivewheels and on the engine. It alsoallows the directional stability ofthe vehicle to be improved onacceleration.
Operation of the ASR systemWhen this system is operat- ing, this light flashes.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) This system is linked with and com-
plements the ABS. Disarming the ASR system In exceptional conditions (starting the vehicle when stuck in mud, on
snow, on unstable ground...), it may
prove useful to disarm the ASR sys-tem to allow the wheels to skid andregain grip. 
Press switch Ain the centre of
the fascia panel.
The indicator light on the switch and the warning light
come on: the ASR system willno longer act on the operationof the engine or the brakes. It will come into operation again:

BATTERY
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
Ð Disconnect the battery,
Ð Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
Ð Reconnect starting with the negative (Ð) terminal,
Ð Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-
phate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle from another battery:
Ð Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
Ð Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (Ð) terminal of the slave battery,
Ð Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the bro- ken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery.
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
Ð Never disconnect a ter- minal when the engine is running.
Ð Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
Ð After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition andwait 1 minute before starting toallow the electronic systems to beinitialised. If slight difficulties areexperienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage butit may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres ofaltitude.Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approachesthe maximum permitted withoutexceeding it. Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible. Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle and of the
trailer, observing the recommendedpressures. Braking: Towing increases the
braking distance. Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
