Service indicator

For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree
of deterioration of the engine oil is also
taken into account (depending on the
country of sale).

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

More than 1,800 miles (3,000 km)

remain before the next service

is due

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 illuminates for 5 seconds when the

ignition is switched on. The distance recorder

display line indicates the distance remaining

before the next service is due.

Example: You have 1,700 miles (2,800 km) left

before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:

Less than 600 miles (1,000 km) remain

before the next service is due

Example: You have 560 miles (900 km) left

before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the total distance recorder resumes its normal
operation.

The servicing spanner remains on

as a reminder that a service is required soon.

System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.

The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last reset of the service
indicator, according to the mileage covered and
the time elapsed since the last service.

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,

the spanner goes off; the distance recorder

resumes its normal operation. The screen then
indicates the total distance.

Instruments

The servicing interval has been

exceeded

For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,

the spanner flashes to indicate that the service

must be carried out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by 186 miles

(300 km).

For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,

the screen indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the total distance recorder resumes its normal
operation.

The spanner remains on.

For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this alert
is also accompanied by the continuous
illumination of the Service warning light
when the ignition is switched on.

The remaining mileage may be weighted
by time according to the driver’s driving
habits.
The spanner may therefore also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, as indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the spanner
may also come on early, depending on the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
(depending on the country of sale).
The degree of deterioration of the engine
oil depends on the driving conditions in
which the vehicle is used.

Resetting the service indicator

After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.

To do so, follow this procedure:
F

Switch off the ignition.

Press the trip distance recorder reset

button and keep it pressed.

Switch on the ignition; the distance

recorder display begins a countdown.

When the display indicates =0, release the

button; the spanner disappears.

Following this step, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the reset
to be taken into account.

Retrieving the service

information

You can access the service information at any
time.
F

Press the trip distance recorder reset

button. The service information is
displayed for a few seconds, then
disappears.

Instruments

AdBlue

liquid range indicators

Once the AdBlue

tank is on reserve or after

detection of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system, when the ignition is switched
on, an indicator displays an estimate of the
distance that can be covered, the range, before
engine starting is prevented.
In the event of simultaneous system fault and
low AdBlue

level, the shortest range figure is

the one displayed.

Range greater than 1,500 miles (2,400 km)

When switching on the ignition, there is no
automatic display of range in the instrument
panel.

In the event of the risk of non-starting related to a lack of

AdBlue

The engine start prevention system
required by regulations is activated
automatically once the AdBlue

tank is

empty.

Range between 350 and 1,500 miles

(600 and 2,400 km)

When switching on the ignition, the AdBlue
warning light comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and the temporary display
of "NO START IN" and a distance on the
instrument panel, indicating the remaining
range expressed in miles or kilometres before
engine starting is prevented - (e.g. "NO START
IN 1500 km" means "Starting will be prevented
in 1,500 km (930 miles).
When driving, this message is displayed every
186 miles (300 km) until the AdBlue level has
been topped-up.

The reserve level has been reached: it is
recommended that you top-up as soon as
possible.
It is recommended that you not top up by more
than 10 litres of AdBlue.

AdBlue

and the SCR

(BlueHDi Diesel) system, and in particular

topping it up, refer to the corresponding
section.

Instruments

Range between 0 and 350 miles (0 and 600 km)

Breakdown related to a lack of AdBlue

To be able to restart the engine, it is

prevents starting of the engine.

When switching on the ignition, the Service
warning light comes on and the AdBlue warning
light flashes, accompanied by an audible signal
and the temporary display of "NO START

indicating the remaining range expressed in
miles or kilometres before engine starting
is prevented - (e.g. "NO START IN 300 km"
means "Starting will be prevented in 300 km
(150 miles)").
When driving, this message is displayed every
30 seconds until the AdBlue

level has been

topped-up.
It is essential to top-up as soon as possible and
before the tank is completely empty; otherwise
it will not be possible to restart the engine after
the next stop.

Instruments

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

A device preventing the engine from
starting automatically activates after
1,100 km of driving following confirmation
of a fault in 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

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

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 lights come on and the AdBlue warning

light flashes, accompanied by an audible signal

and the temporary display in the instrument

cluster of "NO START IN" and a distance,

indicating the remaining range expressed in

miles or kilometres before engine starting

is prevented - (e.g.: "NO START IN 600 km"

means "Starting will be prevented in 600 km

(350 miles)").

While driving, this display appears every

30 seconds while the fault with the emissions

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 the

vehicle.

During the permitted driving phase

(between 685 and 0 miles) (1,100 km and 0 km)

The AdBlue, Service and engine diagnostic
warning lights come 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.

Instruments

Every time the ignition is switched on, the
Service and engine diagnostic warning lights
come on and the AdBlue warning light flashes,
accompanied by the temporary display of "NO
START IN" and 0 miles or kilometres - ("NO
START IN 0 km" means "Starting prevented") in
the instrument cluster.

Starting prevented

You have exceeded the authorised driving
limit : the starting prevention system
inhibits engine starting.To be able to start
the engine, you must call on a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Distance recorders

Total distance recorder

System which measures the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its life.

The total and trip distances are displayed for
thirty seconds when the ignition is switched off,
when the driver's door is opened and when the
vehicle is locked or unlocked.

Trip distance recorder

System which measures a distance travelled
during a day or other period since it was reset
to zero by the driver.

With the ignition on, press the button until

zeroes appear.
