SPEED LIMITER
System which prevents the vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached, pressing the accelerator
pedal no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is switched on


manually: it requires a programmed
speed of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded temporarily by pressing the
accelerator

firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply slow down to a speed below
the programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory when the ignition is
switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need to resp\
ect
speed limits, nor can it replace the need for vigilance on the part of t\
he driver.

CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched
on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick. Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan
could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's
service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If

a

level

drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by
a


PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be parked
on level ground and the engine must have been off for more than
30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil chang\
es).
PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top up if
necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Checking using the dipstick
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location\
of
the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle.
F

T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely.
F Wipe
the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth.
F Refit
the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make
the visual check: the correct level is between the marks A

and B.A = MA
x
B

= MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do
not start the engine .
-

If the level is above the
MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine),
contact
a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.
-

If the level is below the
MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.

avoid the risk of explosion.
If the battery had frozen, before charging, have it checked by a
PEUGEOT


dealer or qualified workshop who will ensure that the
internal components have not been damaged and that the casing
is not cracked, which would cause a leak of toxic and corrosive
acid.
REINITIALISATION AFTER RECONNECTION

least one minute before starting, to allow time for the initialisation o\
f the
electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections, you should set or initialise\

the following systems yourself:

audio and navigation system settings.
Check that no alert message or warning lamp comes on after switching
