Instruments and controls

After this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait for at least five minutes, otherwise
the zero re-set will not be registered.


Zero re-set

Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set 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.

Engine oil level indicator

When the ignition is switched on, the engine
oil level is indicated for a few seconds, after
the service information.
Oil level correct

Lack of oil
Flashing of "OIL"
, linked
with the service warning
light, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the display, indicates a lack of
oil which could damage the engine.
If the lack of oil is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.

Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL --"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
gauge. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
Dipstick

A
= maximum, never exceed
this level as a surplus of oil may
damage the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop without delay.

B
= minimum, top up the level via
the oil filler cap, using the grade
of oil suited to your engine.

Reverse gear

In the 6-speed configuration, raise the collar
under the gear knob to engage reverse gear.
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear. To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

- never fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on
the gear knob as the force exerted, even if
slight, may wear the internal components of
the gearbox over time.

Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even
for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
th
ere is a risk of fire. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this
(for example in the case of painting in
an oven
) could damage the components of
th
e electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied b
y the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low
fuel warning lamp
i
s not on.
ADDITIONAL HEATING


Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate s
ystem
which heats the Diesel en
gine hot coolant
loop to make starting easier.
It improves the demistin
g and defrosting
performance. Vehicles fitted with an HDi
engine may be fitted with a heater. When
t
he engine is at idle or the vehicle is
stationary, it is normal to notice a high-
pitched whistling noise and a slight emission
of smoke and odour.
