Engine oil level indicator*

Oil level incorrect

Oil level indicator fault

In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.

On versions fitted with an electric oil level indicator, the state of the engine oil level is displayed in
the instrument panel for a few seconds, after the servicing information.

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.

Oil level correct

* Depending on version.

For more information on checking
the levels, refer to the corresponding
section.

For more information on checking
the levels, refer to the corresponding
section.

this is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.

this is signalled by the display of the message
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument panel.
Contact a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop.

accompanied by the StOP or SeRVICe
warning lamp.
Do not start your vehicle.
Call a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.

Manual CHECK

Pressing the "CHECK" button on the instrument

Service indicator

More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.

System informing the driver when the next
service is due, in line with the manufacturer's
service schedule.
It is calculated from the last service indicator
reset according to the distance travelled and
the time elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions only (depending
on country of sale), the level of deterioration of
the engine oil is also taken into account.

Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due

the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on tor a few seconds after
the ignition is switched on. the distance
recorder display line indicates the distance
remaining before the next service is due.
Example: 1 700 miles (2 800 km) remain
before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the spanner goes off; the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. the screen then
indicates the total and trip distances.

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on to
indicate that a service must be carried out

For a few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the screen indicates:

the mileage remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions in which the
vehicle is used.
the spanner may also come on if
you have exceeded the period since
the last service, as indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
With BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on in advance
of the service interval, according to the
level of deterioration of the engine oil,
which depends on the driving conditions
in which the vehicle is used.

If you have to disconnect the battery
following this operation, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
reset to be registered.

A few seconds after the ignition is switched

In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system

A system that prevents engine starting
is activated automatically from
650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation
of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system
checked by a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.

In the event of the detection of a fault

the uReA, SeRVICe and diagnostic warning
lamps comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and the display of the message
"emissions fault".
the alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.

If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system.

During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)

If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the SeRVICe and engine diagnostic
warning lamps come on and the uReA
warning lamp flashes, accompanied by an
audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g.: "emissions fault: Starting prevented in
150 miles") indicating the remaining range
express in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
the alert is repeated when switching on the
ignition.
You should go to a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you will not be able to restart your
engine.

this function is only displayed from
20 mph (30 km/h).

this value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a significant change in the
current fuel consumption.

Trip computer, a few definitions…

Range

(miles or km)
this indicates the distance
which can still be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank
in relation to the average fuel
consumption over the last few
miles (kilometres) travelled.

When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

Current fuel consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
this is the average fuel consumption
during the last few seconds.

Average fuel
consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
this is the average fuel
consumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.

Average speed

(mph or km/h)
this is the average speed calculated
since the last trip computer zero reset
(ignition on).

Stop & Start time
counter

(minutes / seconds or hours /
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with
Stop & Start, a time counter
calculates the time spent in
StOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with
the key.
