INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
32
Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator (see corresponding section),
- engine oil level indicator,
- total distance recorder (total and trip distances).Note:the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approxima- tely 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whether the level indicated is correct; a surplusof oil can cause damage to the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum. Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The level indicated is only correct if the vehiclehas been on stable, level ground, with the engi-ne stopped, for 10 minutes. Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash to indicate a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil temperature indicator With the engine running, this indi- cates the oil temperature:
Ð needle in zone
(C), the temperatu-
re is correct,
Ð needle in zone (D), the temperature
is too high. To lower the oil tempera- ture, reduce your speed.

CHECKING LEVELS Engine oil Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes ; the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litreper 600 miles (1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the enginecold.
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the manufacturer's requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level must always be above
the DANGER mark on the tank.
Ð In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer immediately. Fluid change
Ð Always to be carried out at the
intervals given in the manufactu- rer's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standards.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by
the fan. This may operate with the
ignition key removed. Therefore, asthe cooling circuit is pressurised,wait at least an hour after switching
off the engine before carrying outany work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressuredrop. When the pressure has drop-ped, remove the cap and top up thelevel.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum mark A.
Ð Instrument dial gauge.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION117
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine
cold. The level should always beabove the MINI mark, close to theMAXI mark. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.
Windscreen wash reservoir For best quality cleaning and for
your safety, we recommend that youuse products approved by
PEUGEOT (capacity 2.8 litres).
Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in verydusty conditions, change it twice asoften.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dea-
ler. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular forvehicles which are used in town, forshort journeys. It may be necessaryto check the thickness of the padseven between services. Autoadaptive automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change: have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule.
Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor- mance from compo-
nents as important as the powersteering and the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offersquite specific products.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime the circuit: 1.4 litre HDI engine
- fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel,
- operate the manual re-priming pump, until fuel appears in the transparent pipe under the bon-net,
- operate the starter until the engi- ne starts.
