Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator, the engine oil level is no longer monitored. When the system has a fault, you should check the engine oil level using the manual dipstick (located under the bonnet).
This is signalled by the flashing of " O I L" , or the display of a message "Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel, accompanied by illumination of the service warning lamp and an audible signal. If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine. Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL- -" or the display of a message "Oil level measurement invalid" in the instrument panel Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in the instrument panel for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on, after the service information.
The level shown will only be correct if the vehicle is on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
* Depending on version.
Refer to the "Checks of levels" section.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:  If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.  Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.  Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working order.  Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
 The air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption. When towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity. Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly.  If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

Windscreen and side windows.
1. Temperature adjustment
The air distribution can be adapted by placing the dial in an intermediate position.
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.
4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air limits misting of the
windscreen and side windows. The recirculation of interior air insulates the passenger compartment from exterior odours and smoke. Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible to prevent deterioration of the air quality and demisting performance. 3. Air distribution adjustment
 Press the button to recirculate the interior air. The indicator lamp comes on to confirm this.
 Press the button again to permit the intake of exterior air. The indicator lamp goes off to confirm this.
Manual air conditioning
 If you place the air flow control in position 0 (deactivation of the system), the temperature is no longer maintained at a comfortable level. However, a slight flow of air, due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.

Demisting/defrosting
5. Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
It enables you to: - lower the temperature, in summer, - increase the effectiveness of the demisting in winter, above 3 °C.
Switching off
 Press the "A /C " button again, the button's indicator lamp goes off. Switching off may affect comfort levels (humidity, condensation).
Switching on
 Press the "A /C " button, the button's indicator lamp comes on. The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment control 2 is in position " 0 ". To obtain cooled air more quickly, you can use recirculation of interior air for a few moments.
Then return to fresh air intake.
The marking on the control panel indicates the position of the controls to quickly demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows:
 place the air intake control 4 in the "Exterior air intake" position (indicator lamp off),  place the air distribution dial 3 in the "Windscreen position",  place the air flow dial 2 in position 5 (maximum),  place the temperature dial 1 in the red position (hot).
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is not available.
The rear screen demist - defrost can only operate when the engine is running.

The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running. The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.
 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right respectively to decrease or increase this value. A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However, depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal. You are advised to avoid a left / right setting difference of more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort programme may not be sufficient to quickly demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows (humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).
 In this case, select the automatic visibility programme. The system automatically controls the air conditioning, the air flow and the air intake and provides optimum distribution of the ventilation to the windscreen and side windows.  To switch it off, press the "visibility"button again or press the "AUTO" button, the indicator lamp in the button goes off or the indicator lamp in the "AUTO" button comes on.
Automatic operation
 Press the "AUTO" button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
2-3. Driver-passenger side adjustment

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
We recommend the use of this mode: it permits automatic and optimised adjustment of all of the functions, passenger compartment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air recirculation, in accordance with the comfort value that you have chosen. This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
The value indicated in the screen corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
1. Automatic comfort programme
To prevent too great a distribution of cold air when the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually. In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, side windows and footwells o n l y.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required more quickly. The system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and as quickly as possible.

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a special code. When the ignition is switched on, this code must be recognised in order for starting to be possible. This electronic engine immobiliser locks the engine management system a few minutes after the ignition is switched off and prevents starting of the engine by anyone who does not have the key.
Anti-theft protection
In the event of a fault, you are informed by illumination of this warning lamp, an audible signal and a message in the screen. In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Keep safely the label attached to the keys given to you on acquisition of the vehicle.
Starting the vehicle
 Insert the key in the ignition switch. The system recognises the starting code.  Turn the key fully towards the dashboard to position 3 (Starting) .  When the engine starts, release 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.
Do not throw the remote control batteries away, they contain metals which are harmful to the environment. Take them to an approved collection point.
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.
Locking the 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.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a 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.
