Service overdue With the engine running the spanner
remains on until the service has been
carried out. Each time the ignition is switched
on and for a few seconds, the
spanner fl ashes and the excess
distance is displayed.
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.

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

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.
Engine oil level indicator
Depending on your vehicle's engine, 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

Special position of the windscreen wipers
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the stalk positions the
wipers against the windscreen uprights.
This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning or
replacement.
Refer to the "Changing a windscreen
wiper blade" section of chapter 7.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the ignition to avoid
triggering the automatic wiping.
In winter, it is advisable to wait for the
windscreen to completely clear of ice before
operating automatic wipe.
Rear wiper
Turn the ring to the first position.
Rear screenwash
Turn the ring past the first
position: the rear screenwash
then the rear wiper operates for a fixed time.
In winter, in the event of a considerable
amount of snow or ice, switch on the
heated rear screen. Once the screen is
clear, remove the snow or ice which has
accumulated on the rear wiper blade. You
can then operate the rear windscreen wiper.
To park the wipers in their normal position
after this has been done, switch on the
ignition and move the stalk.

Press the control downwards. Activation of the
function is accompanied by a message in the
screen.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
function must be reactivated by pressing the

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,
pay attention as the speed can increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot prevent the vehicle from
exceeding 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 vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
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.
Cancelling the programmed reference speed
When the vehicle becomes stationary, after
switching off the ignition, the system no
longer memorises a speed.
Using 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 by three dashes. Contact a
PEUGEOT 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 approximately 56, 60, 70
or 80 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
activated or deactivated by the driver while
driving.

Steering mounted controls
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP03_ERGONOMIE ET CONFORT_ED01-2014
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 system checked.
The limiter is deactivated temporarily and
the programmed 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 any 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.

Ventilation
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP03_ERGONOMIE ET CONFORT_ED01-2014
Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Automatic operation Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO symbol is displayed.
Depending on the comfort value selected, the system controls the distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee comfort and a suffi cient circulation of air in the passenger compartment. No further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored when
the ignition is switched off and are reinstated
the next time the vehicle is started, if the
temperature in the passenger compartment
has not changed signifi cantly; otherwise,
operation resumes in automatic mode.
Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort.However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
is usual.
