Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation comes on; the display for
the total distance recorder gives (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service.
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
showing the total and trip distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner fl ashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains on. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly. The distance remaining before the next
service may be weighted by the time
factor, depending on the type of driving.
More than 1 000 miles/km before the next
service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition is
switched on and for a few seconds,
the screen shows:
SERVICE INDICATOR
This programmes service intervals according
to the use of the vehicle.
The points at which a service is due are
calculated from the last indicator zero reset.
The point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time which has elapsed since the
last service. If when changing a tyre, you fit a
wheel not detected by your vehicle
(for example: fitting snow tyres), you must
have the system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not take the
place of vigilance or the responsibility of
the driver.
All repairs and changing of tyres on
a wheel fitted with this system must
be carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
This system does not avoid the need to
have the tyre pressures checked regularly
(including the spare wheel), to ensure that
the dynamic performance of the vehicle
remains at its best and to avoid premature
wear of the tyres, in particular in the case of
heavy loads and high speeds.
Observing the recommended tyre pressures
helps reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption.
The system may temporarily be disturbed by
electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency
close to that used by it.

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
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL"
, linked
with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which could
damage the engine.
If the low oil level 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
indicator. 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.
Trip recorder zero reset
button
With the ignition on, press the
button until the zeros appear.
Lighting dimmer
With the lighting on, press the
button to vary the brightness
of the instruments and
controls. When the lighting
reaches the minimum (or maximum) setting,
release the button then press it again to
increase (or reduce) the brightness.
As soon as the lighting is of the required
brightness, release the button.
Service overdue
With the engine running the spanner remains
on until the service has been carried out.
First of the two terms reached: the spanner
also comes on if the two-year interval has
elapsed.
Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the
spanner fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.

In the minute following switching off of the
i
gnition, any action on the stalk positions the
wipers a
gainst the windscreen uprights.This action enables
you to position the
wiper blades
for winter parking, cleaning or
replacement.
Re
fer to the "Changing a windscreen
wi
per blade" section of chapter 7. When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the ignition to avoid
tr
iggering the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completel
y clear of ice before
operatin
g automatic wipe.

Steering mounted controls
Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position 0
or switch off
the ignition to switch everything off.
Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by means of a maintained press,
pa
y attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heav
y traffic.
In the event of a stee
p slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceedin
g the programmed speed.
In any event, the cruise control cannot
replace the need to observe the speed
limits, nor can it replace the need
for
vi
gilance and responsibility on the part of the
driver.
It is advisable to leave your
feet near the
pedals.
To avoid an
y jamming under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.
Cancelling the programmed
reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
lon
ger memorises a speed. Usin
g the accelerator:
- exceed the memorised speed until the
speed required is reached,
- press the Set +
or Set -
button.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
- press the Set -
button.
A brief press decreases the speed by
1 mph
(km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced b
y three dashes. Contact a
PEUGE
OT dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked.
FIXED SPEED LIMITER
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
speed of your vehicle can be limited to a
fixed speed of approximatel
y 56, 60, 70 or
130 mph
(90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h). The
fixed maximum speed cannot be changed.
The
fixed speed limiter is not a function
of the cruise control type. It cannot be
act
ivated or deactivated by the driver while
drivin
g.

Flashing of the speed
The speed flashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point
of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an
increase in the vehicle speed due to the
profile of the road or on a steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration.
Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order to
exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect unless you press the pedal firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
Good practice
Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared then
replaced by three dashes.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the s
ystem checked.
The limiter is deactivated temporaril
y and
the pro
grammed speed flashes.
To return to the limiter
function, reduce your
speed to below the programmed speed.
Switching the function off
- Place the switch in position 0
or switch
off the ignition to switch the system off.
The last programmed speed remains in the
memory.
In an
y event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed limits,
nor can it replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profile of the
road and sharp acceleration and stay in
complete control of your vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings on the
floor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.
