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 doors, the keys allow you to lock, deadlock and unlock the doors and boot and close the windows by holding the key in the lock in the locking position for a few seconds.

If one of the front doors or the boot is open, it is impossible to operate the central locking; an audible signal indicates this when locking by remote control.

The remote control performs the same functions at a distance, except automatic closing of the windows.

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 service indicator informs you when each service is due; the point at which it is due is calculated from the last indicator

zero reset (see corresponding section). This point is determined by two parameters:

- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last service.

Note: the distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, in accordance with the driver's style of driving.

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 regular services.

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.

A PEUGEOT 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 LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE SUITED TO YOUR ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER (see pages on "Lubricants").

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406 COUPE

02-02-2004

SPECIAL FEATURES

Some of your vehicle's vital components have specific servicing schedules.

The brake fluid must be replaced every 36,000/40,000 miles (60,000 km) or every 2 years. The passenger compartment filter must be checked at each visit to the PEUGEOT dealer (intermediate visits and regular services). Replacement of the timing belt: consult your PEUGEOT dealer.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This is a visual reminder of when the next service is due. This service is to be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Operation

As soon as the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the spanner symbolising ''service operation'' is lit. The trip recorder display shows the distance remaining (in round figures) before the next service.

Example: 4,800 miles/km remain before the next service is due. When the ignition comes on and for 5 seconds the display indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the display shows the total or trip distances.

The distance remaining before the next service is less than 500 miles (1,000 km).

Example: 400 miles (900 km)

remain before the next service is due.

When switching on the ignition and for 5 seconds, the display shows:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the symbol remains lit.

This indicates that a service should be carried out shortly. The display shows the total or trip distances.

The service is overdue.

Each time the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the symbol and the excess distance flash.

Example: the service is overdue by 300 miles/km. The service should be carried out very shortly.

When the ignition is switched on and for 5 seconds, the display shows:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the total distance recorder resumes normal operation and the symbol remains lit. The display shows the total or trip distances.

Note: the service spanner lights if the two-year interval has been exceeded (see "PEUGEOT Servicing" section).

Resetting the service indicator

Your PEUGEOT dealer carries out this operation after each service. The reset procedure is as follows:

- Switch off the ignition.

- Press and hold button 1.

- Switch on the ignition.

The display begins a 10 second countdown.

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 ACEA A1/A2 and API SH/SJ/SL quality (for petrol engines), or ACEA B1/B2 and API 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 multi-function 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 m.p.h. (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.

ASR/ESP Electronic Stability Programme indicator light

This comes on for a few seconds each time the ignition is switched on.

If the indicator light stays on or comes on while the engine is running: contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

When the engine is running and the vehicle is moving, it flashes if the system is activated.

It is lit continuously when it is disarmed.
