THE KEYS
The keys allow you to switch on
the ignition and to independently
operate the locks on the front
doors, the fuel filler cap, the glove
box and the passenger air bag
disarming switch.
Central locking
From the driver's door, the keys
allow you to lock, deadlock
(keeping the key turned in the
locked position for a few seconds) or unlock the doors and the
boot, as well as fold back the
exterior mirrors.
If one of the front doors or the
boot is open, it is impossible to
operate the central locking; a
bleep indicates locking by remote
control.
The remote control performs
the same functions at a
distance.
The remote control key
Deadlocking
Deadlocking renders the internal
and external door locking controls inoperative.
Press button A to deadlock the
vehicle. This is confirmed by fixed
lighting of the direction indicators
for approximately two seconds.
A second press on button A in
the five seconds following deadlocking, changes deadlocking to
normal locking.
This is confirmed by fixed lighting
of the direction indicators for
approximately two seconds.
Unlocking
Press button B to unlock the vehicle.
This is confirmed by rapid flashing of the direction indicators.
ELECTRONIC ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
This locks the engine control system a few moments after the ignition has been switched off and
therefore prevents starting of the
vehicle by anyone who does not
have the key.
Operation
Each key has an electronic chip
which has a special code.
When the ignition is switched on,
the key code is recognised and
starting is possible.
If the key does not have a code or
has a different code from that
stored in the system memory, the
vehicle will not start.

PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
• For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years.
The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the
oil between oil changes is normal.
It is for this reason that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between each regular service.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles
(15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines. APeugeot dealer
will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash up to 2 litres).
If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every
2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use.
The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIALTO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BYTHE
MANUFACTURER.

Recommendations for
approved lubricants
The oils which appear in the table
opposite are suitable for most purposes.
The diagram opposite states the
optimum range of viscosity depending on the temperatures at which the
oils are to be used.
It is also possible to use synthetic
oils of "superior quality".
In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ quality (for petrol engines), or CD/CF
quality (for diesel engines) may be
used by following the "Arduous Conditions" servicing schedule, which
specifies shorter service intervals.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintain
driving pleasure and to minimise the
maintenance cost of your vehicle.
For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
A permanently lit warning light, or flashing with the engine running, is an
indication of a malfunction in the relevant unit. Some warning lights may
be linked to buzzers and a message on the multifunction display. Do not
ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly as possible.
If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving, stop
your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.
Central (STOP) warning light
Linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''the low brake fluid level'', ''the
coolant temperature gauge'' and ''electronic brake force distribution
system fault'' warning lights. It comes on each time the ignition is
switched on.
Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning light.
Stop immediately if it comes on with the engine running.
It indicates either:
– insufficient oil pressure,
– lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Low coolant
level warning
light
Stop immediately.
Allow the engine to cool before topping up.
The cooling system is pressurised.
In the event of a breakdown and to
prevent the risk of scalding, turn the
cap to the first notch to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel filler cap warning
light
This comes on if the fuel
cap is not correctly screwed
on or is missing.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake force
distribution warning light.
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
– that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
– an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the
handbrake released),
– lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light
This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.
If it comes on at over 8 mph (12 km/h), it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the particulate emission filter
warning light (diesel
engine)
Display of this warning light is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The flashing of this light while the
engine is running is caused either by
the particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine running
too long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the filter clogging if the same conditions of
operation are maintained.
As soon as possible, drive for at
least three minutes at a speed
exceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h),
where driving conditions allow this.
If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Front brake pad wear warning light
For your safety, have the pads replaced as soon as this light comes on.
ESP Electronic Stability Programme operation indicator light
This flashes when the system is
operating.
It is lit continuously if disarmed or if
there is a fault.

Passenger air bag
disarming warning
light
Illumination of this warning
light is accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display. If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the indicator
light comes on when the ignition is
switched on and remains on.
In all cases, if the warning light flashes, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air bag warning light
The warning light comes
on for 6 seconds when the
ignition is switched on.
Illumination of this warning light, with
the engine running, is accompanied
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display indicating the cause of the front, side or
curtain air bag fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Water in diesel filter warning light
(according to destination)
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
There is a risk of damage to the injection system.
Diesel pre-heating indicator light
If the engine is warm enough, the light will not come on and you can
start the engine without waiting.
If the light comes on, wait until it goes out before trying the starter.
Engine diagnostics warning light*
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
If it is lit continuously with the engine runnning, this indicates a fault in
the emission control system.
If it flashes with the engine running, this indicates a malfunction in the injection
or ignition system. There is a risk of damage to the catalytic converter (petrol
engine only). Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Battery charge warning light
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
If it comes on with the engine running it can indicate:
– faulty operation of the charging circuit,
– loose battery or starter terminals,
–a cut or slack alternator belt,
– an alternator fault.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
