Do not use cruise control on slippery roads or in heavy traffic.

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control enables the vehicle to maintain a steady speed programmed by the driver, regardless of the road characteristics and without the driver having to touch the accelerator or brake pedals.

In order for it to be memorised, the vehicle speed must be greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) and 4th or 5th gear must be engaged.

Operation

☞ Place switch 1 in the ON position.

A speed can now be memorised.

☞ Place switch 1 in the OFF position to de-activate the system.

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 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 ESSENTIAL TO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

29-07-2002

SPECIAL FEATURES

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

The air bags and the pretensioning seat belts must be checked every 10 years by a PEUGEOT dealer.

The brake fluid must be replaced every 36/40,000 miles (60 000 km) or every 2 years.

The pollen 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.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

Arduous conditions of use

If the vehicle is used in certain particularly arduous conditions:

• Continuous door-to-door use.

• Town use (e.g. taxi).

• Repeated short journeys, with the engine cold in low temperatures.

or for long stays in the following conditions:

• Hot countries with temperatures often above 30°C.

• Cold countries with temperatures often below minus 15°C.

• Countries with a dusty atmosphere.

• Countries whose lubricants or fuels do not conform to our recommendations,

it is necessary to follow an "Arduous conditions" servicing schedule, which includes special operations and shorter service intervals:

• Every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every year for petrol engine vehicles.

• Every 9,000 miles (15 000 km) or every year for Direct Injection Diesel engine vehicles.

29-07-2002

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 you the distance remaining (in round figures) before the next service.

Example: 4,800 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 1,000 km.

Example: 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 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.

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 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), if 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.

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 igni-

tion is switched on.

Illumination of this warning light, with the engine running, is accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multi-function display indicating the cause of the front or side 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.
