Engine oil level indicator*
Oil level correct
Oil level lowOil 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 "Checking 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 "Checking levels" section.

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.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
I
f 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.
P

lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the
passenger compartment.
F

T
o 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.
F

I
n normal conditions, use the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air
recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side windows.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the automatic air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).


W
e 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).
F

T
he air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. This results in an
increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
W

hen 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.
C

ondensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the
vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
F

I
f 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.
