Instruments and controls



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


Zero re-set

Your PEUGEOT dealer 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 confi rmed 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.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The level read will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
Dipstick

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

B
= minimum, top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the type of oil suited to your
engine.



Lighting rheostat

With the ignition on, press
the button until the zeros
appear.
With the lights on, press
the button to vary the
intensity of the lighting
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.

Levels



Cooling system

Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when traffi c
conditions permit (until the message
disappears and the service warning lamp
goes off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
fi lter, the noise of a relay operating may be
heard under the dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning lamp remains on, consult
a PEUGEOT dealer.

Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.



Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.


Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
The minimum level of this
additive is indicated by lighting of the
service warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is
topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
without delay.



Used oil

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.

Fuel

FUEL CIRCUIT DISARMED

In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The fl ashing of this warning
light is accompanied by a
message on the display.
Check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehicle and
re-establish the fuel supply:


- switch off the ignition (STOP position),


- remove the key,

- put the key back in the ignition,

- switch on the ignition and start.

DIESEL REPRIMING PUMP



If you should run out of fuel, it is
necessary to re-prime the circuit:


- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve
litres of diesel,

- squeeze and release the manual
re-priming pump, under the bonnet
under the protective cover,

- operate the starter until the engine
starts.
Refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 6.












Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines

The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which conform
to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which complies
with standard EN 590 mixed with a
biofuel which complies with standard
EN 14214) available at the pumps
(containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain
Diesel engines; however, this use
is subject to strict application of the
special servicing conditions. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or
diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly
prohibited (risk of damage to the
engine and fuel system).
