Advice
Take care when working under the
bonnet, as some parts of the engine
can be very hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan can start at any time (even
with the ignition switched off).
If a level is found to be very low, have
the corresponding system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
A check of the engine oil level is only
valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30 minutes.
Oil grade: the oil used must meet
the specification given in the
manufacturer's servicing and warranty
booklet.

Electronic oil level indicator
The check is done for a few seconds after
switching on the ignition, with a message in the
display or screen (depending on version).
It is only valid if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for at least
30

minutes.
It is normal to top-up the engine oil
level between services (or oil changes).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check
the oil level and top-up if necessary,
every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
Fault
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL_ _" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Level correct
Level incorrect
This is indicated by the flashing of " OIL" or
by the display of a dedicated message in the
instrument panel.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.

Folding the key
F A press switches on the vehicle's lighting and flashes the direction
indicators for a few seconds to
help you locate your vehicle in a
car park.
Locating your vehicle
If you do not press the button when
folding the key, there is a risk of
damage to the mechanism. The original key contains a coded electronic
chip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in.
Guide-me-home

lighting
Make a long press on this button to
operate the guide-me-home lighting
(switching on the sidelamps, dipped
beams and number plate lamps).
A second press before the end of the timed
period cancels the guide-me-home lighting.
Electronic engine immobiliser
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of the
warning lamp, an audible signal and
the display of a message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Keep away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
on acquisition of the vehicle. It will
help in finding the original code for
replacement of the key.

Lost keys
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to look up the key code and the transponder code required to order a new key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from
working and the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
No remote control can operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
Locked vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution, never leave children alone in the vehicle, except for a very short period.
In all cases, it is essential to remove the key from the ignition switch when leaving the vehicle.
Second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.
