FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is

turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:

COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned before the red

zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic

conditions, the needle may move close to

the red graduations.

What you should do if the warning lamp

comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The

fan may continue to operate for a certain

time, up to approximately 10 minutes,

-

1: the fuel tank is full, approximately

80 litres.

-

0: the reserve is now being used, the

warning lamp comes on continuously.

The reserve when the warning first comes

on is approximately 8 litres.

Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.

What you should do if the needle enters

the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run at

idle.

- wait for the engine to cool down in order

to check the coolant level and top it up if

necessary.

As the cooling system is pressurised, follow

this advice in order to avoid any risk of

scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off

the engine before carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the

pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped, check

the level on the expansion bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have

the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop.

Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Instruments and controls

EMISSIONS CONTROLS

The driver is warned of any malfunction

of this emission control system by the

illumination of this specific warning lamp in

the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic

converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

EOBD (European On Board

Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system

which complies with, among

others, the standards concerning

authorised emissions of:
-

CO (carbon monoxide),

-

HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),

- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,

detected by oxygen sensors placed

upstream and downstream of the

catalytic converters.

DETECTION

System which automatically checks the

pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the

pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the

vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of

each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in

pressure is detected in one or more tyres.

The tyre under-inflation detection

system is an aid to driving which does

not replace the need for the driver to be

vigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the need

to check the tyre pressures regularly

(including the spare wheel) and before a

long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely

affects road holding, extends braking

distances and causes premature tyre

wear, particularly under arduous conditions

(vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).

Driving with under-inflated tyres

increases fuel consumption.

The tyre pressures for your vehicle can

be found on the tyre pressure label

(see the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when

the tyres cold (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or

after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at

moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to

the values indicated on the label.

Under-inflation alert

The alert is given by the fi xed

illumination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by an audible signal,

and depending on equipment, the

display of a message.

In the event of a problem on one of the

tyres, the symbol or the message appears,

according to equipment, to identify it.
-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering

movements or harsh brake applications.

- Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
- In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the

spare wheel (according to equipment),

or
- if you have a compressor, the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit for

example, check the four tyre pressures

when cold,

or
- if it is not possible to check the tyre

pressures at the time, drive carefully at

reduced speed.

The loss of pressure detected does not

always lead to visible deformation of

the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.

The alert is maintained until the tyre or

tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired

or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a

steel rim) does not have a sensor.

Operating fault

The flashing and then fixed

illumination of the under-inflation

warning lamp accompanied by

the illumination of the "service"

warning lamp, and depending on equipment,

the display of a message indicates a fault

with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures

is not assured.

This alert is also displayed when one or

more wheels is not fitted with a sensor

(for example, a space-saver or steel spare

wheel).

Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked or,

following the repair of a puncture, to have

the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,

refitted.

Instruments and controls

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.

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.

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.

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.

When the display shows

"=0" , release

the button; the spanner disappears.

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.

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 = 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.

Moving off

With the engine running, to move off from

position

P .

For immediate maximum acceleration

without touching the gear lever,

depress the accelerator pedal to the

extent of its travel, passing the point of

resistance (kickdown). The gearbox will

automatically change down or maintain the

gear selected until maximum engine speed

is reached.
On a descent, the gearbox will automatically

change down in order to provide efficient

engine braking and good pickup.
If you take your foot off the accelerator

suddenly, the gearbox will not change to a

higher gear for reasons of safety.
When stationary with the gear lever in

position

D (drive), a vibration limiting device

is activated by pressing the brake pedal.

-

gradually release the

pressure on the brake pedal;

the vehicle then moves off.

-

Press the brake pedal to

come out of position

P ,

-

select position

R or D ,

-

gradually release the

pressure on the brake pedal;

the vehicle then moves off.

You can also move off from position

N .

-

With your foot on

the brake, release

the parking brake,

-

select position

R , D or M ,

-

Select position

D .

The gearbox always selects the most

suitable gear taking account of the following:
-

the style of driving,

-

the road profile,

-

the vehicle load.

The gearbox is then operating in auto-

adaptive mode, without any action on your

part.

Reverse gear

-

Select position

R , with the

vehicle stationary and the

engine at idle.

Stopping the vehicle, starting the

engine

-

Select position

P to

immobilise the vehicle or

to

start the engine , with the

parking brake on or off.

If the battery is flat and the gear lever

is in position

P , it will be impossible to

change to another position.

- You can also select position

- push the gear lever towards the + sign

to change up, from 1 through to 6,

- conversely, push the gear lever towards

the - sign to change down.

You can change from position

D

(automatic mode) to position

M

(manual mode) at any time.

In manual mode, it is only possible to

change from one gear to another if the

vehicle speed and engine speed permit.

If they do not, the vehicle will operate

temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving

very slowly, the gearbox automatically

selects first gear.

Good practice

Never select position

N when the vehicle is

moving.
Never select positions

P or R unless the

vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise

braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake

pedals at the same time,

- if you force the gear lever from

position

P to another position in the

event of a battery failure.

When the engine is at idle, brakes not

applied, if position

R , D or M is selected the

vehicle moves even without the accelerator

being pressed.
For this reason,

do not leave children

unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the

engine running .

Operating fault

Any operating fault is indicated by an

audible signal, accompanied by the

message

"Automatic gear fault" in the

screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in

downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You

may feel a substantial knock when changing

from

P to R and from N to R (this will not

cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping

within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified

workshop as soon as possible.

When traversing a flooded road or a

ford, drive at walking pace.

Gearboxes and steering wheel

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR

Operation

Depending on the driving conditions and the

equipment of your vehicle, the system may

recommend skipping one or more gears.

You can follow this indication without going

through the intermediate gears.
The gear engagement recommendations

should not be considered to be compulsory.

This because the configuration of the

road, the traffic density and safety remain

determining factors when choosing the

best gear. Therefore, the driver remains

responsible for deciding whether or not to

follow the advice given by the system.
This system cannot be deactivated.

The information appears in the

instrument panel in the form of an

arrow.

The system never recommends

engaging first gear or reverse, or

changing down.

With an automatic gearbox, the system is

only active in manual mode.

The system adapts its gear change

recommendations according to the driving

conditions (slope, load, ...) and demands

from the driver (for power, acceleration,

braking, ...).

STEERING WHEEL HEIGHT AND

REACH ADJUSTMENT

When the vehicle is stationary, release the

steering wheel adjustment mechanism by

lowering the lever.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and

reach, then lock the adjustment mechanism

by pushing the lever fully upwards.

This system allows fuel consumption to be

reduced by suggesting when to change up.
