SERVICE INDICATOR
This is a visual reminder of when the
next service is due. This service is to
be carried out according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule. Service indicator zero reset
Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out this
operation after each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the reset procedure is as
follows:

 Switch off the ignition,

 Press and hold the trip recorder
reset button,

 Switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
When the display shows "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears .
Once an engine oil level indication has
been displayed, the display indicates
the total and trip distances.
If the service is overdue , each time the
ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds,
the distance and the spanner fl ash.

Example
: when the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the display
indicates that the service is overdue by
300 miles/km. The service should be
carried out very shortly.
Once the servicing and oil level infor-
mation has been displayed, the total
distance recorder resumes normal
operation and the spanner remains lit.
The point at which a service is due is
calculated using two parameters:
- the total distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
The distance remaining may be weighted
by the time factor, depending on the
user’s driving habits.
Operation
As soon as the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the spanner
symbolising the service operations is
lit. The trip recorder display shows the
distance remaining (in round fi gures)
before the next service.

Example
: when switching on the
ignition and for 5 seconds, the dis-
play shows that 900 miles/km remain
before the next service is due.
After this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery,
lock the vehicle and wait for at
least fi ve minutes, otherwise
the zero reset will not be
registered.

Oil level correct
Lack of oil
Flashing indicates a lack of oil which
may damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by
checking using the dipstick, it is impe-
rative that the level is topped up. Oil level gauge fault
(fl ashing segments)
Check the oil level using the dipstick.
If the level is correct, the fl ashing
indicates an engine oil level gauge
malfunction.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The level observed on the dipstick is
only valid if the vehicle is parked on
level ground and the engine has been
off for more than 15 minutes. The total distance is displayed in
zone A of the display and the trip
distance in zone B .
Distance recorder
With the trip distance displayed, press

Check the level with the vehicle level,
the engine having been off for more
than 15 minutes, using the dipstick. Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at
the intervals specifi ed and the viscosity

remove the cap and top up the
level.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
