Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on, after
the service information.
Oil level correct
Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the engine oil level is no longer monitored.
When the system has a fault, you should check
the engine oil level using the manual dipstick
(located under the bonnet).
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL", or the
display of a message "Oil level incorrect" in the
instrument panel, accompanied by illumination
of the service warning lamp and an audible
signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
prevent damage to the engine.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
This is signalled by the flashing of "OIL--" or the
display of a message "Oil level measurement
invalid" in the instrument panel. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The level shown will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
* Depending on version.
Refer to the "Checking levels" section.
