6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
As a safety precaution and to
facilitate starting of the engine:
- always select neutral,
- press the clutch pedal. Only engage reverse gear
when the vehicle is stationary
with the engine at idle.
Engaging reverse gear
Raise the ring under the knob and
push the gear lever to the left then
forwards.
* According to engine.
GEAR CHANGE INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel consump-
tion by advising the driver to change up
a g e a r o n v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a m a n u a l
gearbox.
Operation
The system acts solely in the context of
economical driving.
Depending on the driving situation and
your vehicle's equipment, the system
may advise you to skip one or more
gears. You can follow this instruc-
tion without engaging the intermediate
gears.
The gear engagement recommenda-
tions must not be considered compulsory.

termining factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains re-
sponsible for deciding whether or not to
follow the advice given by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated. Example:
- You are in third gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on the
p e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e e n g i n e ( fi r m
pressure on the accelerator pedal, for
example, when overtaking...), the sys-
tem will not recommend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- e n g a g i n g o f fi r s t g e a r ,
- engaging of reverse gear,
- engaging of a lower gear. - You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that you engage a higher gear, if appropriate.
The information appears in the form of
an arrow on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment,
this arrow may be accompanied by the
recommended gear.
This equipment will become available
during the year.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.

corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consumption
should not exceed 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Power steering fluid level T h e p o w e r s t e e r i n g fl u i d l e v e l

Top up the level when you stop the vehicle.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details

In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This
can operate with the ignition off.

Brake disc wear status
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a

Coolant temperature indicator
With the engine running, when the nee-
dle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:
wait for the engine to cool,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop,
when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
