PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
¥ For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
¥ For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years. The service indicator informs you when each service is due; the point at which it is due is calculated from the last indicator zero reset (see corresponding section). This point is determined by two parameters: - the distance travelled,- the time elapsed since the last service. Note:the distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, in accordance with the driver's style of driving.
The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the oil between oil changes is normal. It is for this reason that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between regular services.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles (15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash up to 2 litres). If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every 2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE SUITED TO YOUR ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER (see pages on "Lubricants").

SERVICE LEVELS Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, based upon the engine type.
The servicing cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations depending on your vehicle; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 406. Level B service is designed for less recent vehicles.When the first service is carried out and at each subsequent service, your dealer will advise you of the type and content of the next service due.

WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
A permanently lit warning light, or flashing with the engine running, is an indication of a malfunction in the relevant unit. Some warning lights may
be linked to buzzers and a message on the multi-function display. Do notignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly as possible.
If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.
Central (STOP) warning light Linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''the low brake fluid level'', ''the coolant temperature gauge'' and ''electronic brake force distributionsystem fault'' warning lights. It comes on each time the ignition isswitched on.
Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning light.Stop immediately if it comes on with the engine running.
It indicates either:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. Low coolant level warning light
Stop immediately. Allow the engine to cool before top- ping up. The cooling system is pressurised.In the event of a breakdown and to prevent the risk of scalding, turn thecap to the first notch to allow thepressure to drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel filler cap warning light This comes on if the fuel cap is not correctly screwed
on or is missing.

Lighting rheostat
With the lights on, press the button to vary the intensity of the lighting of theinstruments and controls. When thelighting reaches the minimum (ormaximum) setting, release the but-ton then press it again to increase (orreduce) the brightness. As soon as the lighting is of the required brightness, release the button.
Trip recorder zero reset button
With the ignition on, press the button until
the zeros appear. Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
Ð engine oil level indicator,
Ð service indicator,
Ð total distance recorder. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level indicator is displayed for approximately five seconds, then the service indicator is displayed for five sec-onds. Maximum
Use the dipstick to confirm the level on the indicator; a surplus of oil can cause damage to the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Minimum Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The indication isonly correct if the vehicle has been on stable, level ground, withthe engine stopped, for 10 minutes.
No oil It is essential to top up the oil to the correct level, otherwise
there is a risk the engine will be damaged .
YOUR 406 COUPE IN DETAIL 111

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximum con-sumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles(1 000 km). The oil level should be checked with the vehicle level and the engine coldusing the oil gauge or the dipstick.Dipstick There are two marks on the dipstick: A=maximum
Never fill past this mark. B= minimum
To maintain the reliability of the engines and of theemission control sys-tems, the use of additivesin the engine oil is prohib-ited.
Oil change According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING" .
Note: avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil with the skin.
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer's require-ments.

Brake and clutch fluid level:
- The level should always bebetween the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
- If the level drops substantially, con- tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi-
ately.
Fluid change:
- must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT 4standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contactwith the skin. Coolant level Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the tem- perature of the coolant is controlledby the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off andbecause the cooling system is pres-surised, wait for at least one hourafter the engine has stopped beforecarrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, slacken the cap to the first notch to releasethe pressure. When the pressure hasdropped, remove the cap and top upthe level. Used products Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid or coolant down drains or on theground. Power steering fluid level Open the reservoir with the engine
cold at ambient temperature. Thelevel should always be above theMIN mark, close to the MAX mark.
Windscreen and headlamp* wash fluid level For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we advise that you useproducts recommended by
PEUGEOT.

CHECKS Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter Regular replacement of the filter ele- ment is essential. If you drive in
very dusty conditions, change ittwice as often. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehi-cles that are used in town, for shortjourneys. It may be necessary to check the thickness of the pads even betweenservices. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not require an oil change. Have the level checked in accor-dance with the manufacturer's ser-vicing schedule. Oil filterReplace the cartridge regularly in accordance with the servicing sched-ule.
