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, and for your complete peace of mind, that your Peugeot dealer will carry out a levels check and

top-up midway between each routine service, at the time or distance intervals specified.

This will be undertaken free of charge, provided that the maintenance of your vehicle has been carried out within

the PEUGEOT network.

At the same time, your Peugeot dealer will offer you a Peugeot safety check, for a nominal fee.

A Peugeot professional will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil up to 1 litre, coolant

and screen wash).

The date of the intermediate visit 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.

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

1,500 miles (2 500 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 THAT ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE

MANUFACTURER

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

SPECIAL FEATURES

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

The air bags and the pretensioning seat belts must be replaced every 10 years.

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 ser-

vice 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.

SERVICE INDICATOR

This is a visual reminder of when the

next service is due. This service is to

be carried out according to the man-

ufacturer'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 fig-

ures) before the next service.

Example: 4,800 miles 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 miles.

Example: 900 miles 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. 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 dis-

play shows the total or trip distances.

SERVICE LEVELS

Each vehicle has its own servicing cycle, based upon the engine type.

The servicing cycle consists of alternating 2 types of service A and C, intermediate visits, and a few additional operations

depending on your vehicle; these correspond to key stages in the life of your 406.

Level B service is designed for less recent vehicles.

When the first service is carried out and at each subsequent service, your dealer will advise you of the type and

content of the next service due.

Recommendations for

approved lubricants

The oils which appear in the table

opposite are suitable for most pur-

poses.

The diagram opposite states the

optimum range of viscosity depend-

ing 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 qual-

ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CF

quality (for diesel engines) may be

used by following the 'Arduous Con-

ditions' 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 distribu-

tion system fault'' warning lights. It comes on each time the igni-

tion 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 top-

ping up.

The cooling system is pressurised.

In case of overheating, 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.

YOUR 406 IN DETAIL

130

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, 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 at

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 dri-

ving conditions allow this.

If the light comes on, drive to a

PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possi-

ble.

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,

Notes on radio reception

Car radio receivers are subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception are

subject to various forms of interference. This is no reflection on the quality of the equipment, but is due to the nature of the

signals and the way in which they are transmitted.

On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high voltage power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.

On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from the transmitter, deflection of the signals by obstacles

(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter.

406 Saloon AUDIO SYSTEM (RM2)

Presentation

Your 406 saloon is fitted with a JBLAudio Hi-Fi system, designed specifically for the passenger compartment.

At the heart of the system, a 240 watt multifunction amplifier (1) (located in the boot) independently controls 10 high

acoustic definition speakers.

These speakers provide optimal reproduction and distribution of the sound in the vehicle, both in the front and the

rear.

The speakers are situated:

– in the fascia: two Micro Tweeters (3) set into two Mediums (4) for reproduction of the sound in the front.

– in the front doors: two Woofers (2) for reproduction of bass frequencies in the front.

– on the rear parcel shelf: two Tweeters (5) for reproduction of treble (high frequencies) in the rear are set into two ellipti-

cal speakers (6), which are adjusted to reproduce a very wide range of bass and ultra-bass frequencies throughout the

whole of the passenger compartment. You will appreciate the clarity and depth and notice that the sound fills the

whole of the vehicle perfectly.

Adjusting in CD mode

The basic functions remain those of the audio set.

There is no need for any further adjustment. However, in order to take

full advantage of your JBL audio system, you are advised to set the

AUDIO functions (BASS, TREB, FAD, BAL) to position "0" (zero) and

the Loudness (LOUD) to the "ON" position.

RADIO

Notes on radio reception

Car radio receivers are subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception are

subject to various forms of interference. This is no reflection on the quality of the equipment, but is due to the nature of the

signals and the way in which they are transmitted.

On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high voltage power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.

On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from the transmitter, deflection of the signals by obstacles

(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter.

CHILD SEATS

Although one of PEUGEOT's main concerns when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.

For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:

- All children under the age of 10 must travel in a special approved child seat*, adapted to their weight, in a seat fitted with

a seat belt.

- Front passenger seat*: children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facing position**.

The rearwards facing position is permitted. In this position, it is compulsory to disarm the passenger air bag.

After carrying out numerous tests, PEUGEOT recommends the following systems:

Up to 18 months (up to 13 kg)

" Römer Babysure": installed with its back to the engine in the front or in the rear using a three-point seat belt.

In the front, the passenger seat must be in the 'mid-way' position on the slide.

From 9 months to 3 or 4 years (9 to 18 kg)

"Römer Prince": installed in the rear using a three-point seat belt.

For the safety of your child, the seat and the restraining cushion must never be separated.

From 3 to 6 years (15 to 25 kg)

"Römer Vario'': installed in the rear with a three point seat belt.

* According to current legislation in the country of destination.

** Unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children or the rear seats cannot be used (because they are missing

or folded down). In this case, adjust the front passenger seat to the rear-most position and leave the air bag active.

YOUR 406 IN DETAIL

121

YOUR 406 IN DETAIL

122

Never leave a child or an

animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the

sun and has the win-

dows closed.

Never leave the keys within

reach of children inside the car.

Disarm the passenger air bag

when installing a rearwards or for-

wards* facing child seat in the

front.

Observe strictly the recommenda-

tions for assembling or attaching

the child seat as shown in the

child seat instructions.

From 3 to 10 years (15 to 36 kg)

''Recaro start'': installed in the rear with a three–point seat belt.

The height and width of the seat back must be adjusted according to the age

and build of your child.

"Klippan Optima": installed in the rear with a three–point seat belt.

From the age of 6 years (approximately 22 kg), the booster is used on its

own.

Remember, even for short journeys, to fasten the three-point seat belts or the

child seat straps, keeping the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum.

To prevent the doors from opening accidentally, use the child-lock.

Also, do not open the rear windows more than a third.

* According to current legislation in the country of destination.

SEAT BELTS

To adjust the height of the front

seat belts

Pinch control 1 and slide it.

To lock the seat belts

Pull the strap, then insert the buckle

into the stalk.

Pre-tensioning and

force-limiting front

seat belts

Safety in the event of a frontal impact

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-

ing front seat belts. Depending on

the seriousness of the impact, the

pre-tensioning system instantly tight-

ens the seat belt firmly against the

body of the occupant.

The pre-tensioning seat belts are

active when the ignition is on.

The force-limiting device reduces the

pressure of the seat belt against the

occupant's body in the event of an

accident.

Rear seat belts

The three rear seats are all fitted with

three-point inertia reel belts.

YOUR 406 IN DETAIL

123

To be effective, a seat

belt must be tightened as

close to the body as pos-

sible.

Depending on the nature and the

seriousness of the impact, the

pre-tensioners may be triggered

before and independently of the

air bags.

In all cases, the air bag warning

light comes on.

Following a collision, have the

system checked by a PEUGEOT

dealer.

The system has been designed to

be fully operational for ten years.

Have it replaced after this period.

Range

The display shows the distance that

can still be covered with the fuel

remaining in the tank.

Note: this figure may rise if there is a

change in driving style or road sur-

face, causing a significant drop in

current fuel consumption.

If there are less than 3 litres of fuel in

the tank, only three segments will be

displayed.

Average consumption

This is the ratio between the amount

of fuel consumed and the distance

travelled since the computer was last

reset to zero.

The display stops at 30 l/100km.

Current fuel consumption

This gives the fuel consumption

recorded during the last two sec-

onds. This function is only displayed

when the vehicle is travelling at more

than 12 m.p.h. (20 km/h).

The display stops at 30 l/100km.

Average speed

This is obtained by dividing the dis-

tance travelled by the period of time

the vehicle has been in use (with the

ignition on), since the computer was

last reset to zero.

Distance travelled

This shows the distance travelled

since the computer was last reset to

zero.

After the trip computer has been

reset to zero, the range data

becomes meaningful only after the

vehicle has been in use for a certain

period.

If horizontal segments are displayed

instead of figures when driving, con-

tact a PEUGEOT dealer.

THE AUTOMATIC AUTOADAPTIVE GEARBOX

The 4-gear automatic gearbox provides the comfort of integral automatic reg-

ulation, enhanced by a sport programme (switch A) and a snow programme

(switch B).

Gear selection gate

Move the lever in the gate to select one of the functions.

Once the position has been selected, the indicator light for that function is dis-

played on the instrument panel.

Park (parking): for immobilising the vehicle and for starting the engine, with the

handbrake on or off.

Reverse: to drive in reverse gear (select this position when the vehicle is sta-

tionary, engine at idle).

Neutral: for starting the engine and for parking, with the handbrake on.

Drive: to drive in auto-adaptive mode (with automatic changing of the four

gears).

3: for urban driving or for driving on winding roads (automatic changing of the

first three gears only).

2: for mountain roads or for towing a trailer (automatic changing of the first two

gears only).

1: for tackling steep gradients (selection of first gear only).

Special feature of the gearbox (1.8 and 2 litre petrol engines, 2 litre turbo

diesel HDI engine)

Selection of first gear is by pressing switch C, with the lever in position 2.

To change out of first gear, press switch C again or move the selector lever.

Automatic operation

Automatic changing of the four

gears:

☞ Select function D in the gate.

The gearbox always selects the

most suitable gear on the basis of

the following parameters:

– driving style,

– road characteristics,

– the vehicle's load.

The gearbox operates in auto-adap-

tive mode without any action on

your part.

Moving off

With the engine running, to move off

with the selector lever in position P:

☞ It is essential to press the brake

pedal to exit position P (shift

lock),

☞ Select the required function (R, D,

3, 2 or 1) then gradually release

the pressure on the brake pedal;

the vehicle will move off immedi-

ately.

You can also move off with the selec-

tor lever in position N:

☞ Release the handbrake with your

foot on the brake,

☞ Select the required function (R, D,

3, 2 or 1) then gradually release

the pressure on the brake pedal;

the vehicle will move off immedi-

ately.

DRIVING YOUR 406

149

When the engine is idling,

with the brakes not

applied, if function R, D, 3,

2 or 1 is selected, the

vehicle will move even if you are

not accelerating.

For this reason, do not leave

children unsupervised inside

the vehicle, when the engine is

running.

When maintenance operations

need to be carried out with the

engine running, apply the hand-

brake and select function P.

Never select function N when the

vehicle is moving.

Never select functions P or R if

the engine is not switched off.

Do not change from one position

to another to improve braking effi-

ciency on a slippery surface.

With the selector lever in position

P, it will be impossible to change

to another position if your battery

is flat.

Remarks

To obtain maximum acceleration

without touching the gear lever,

press the accelerator pedal down as

far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-

box will change down automatically

or stay in the gear selected, up to

maximum engine speed.

When braking, the gearbox changes

down automatically so as to provide

efficient engine braking.

If you take your foot off the accelera-

tor suddenly, the gearbox will not

change up, so as to improve safety.

cel the programme selected.

Difficulties in operation

Any disruption of the system is sig-

nalled by the alternate flashing of the

Sport and Snow lights on the instru-

ment panel.

In this case, the gearbox will operate

in downgrade mode (locked in 3rd

gear). You may feel a substantial

knock when reverse is selected from

P to R or from N to R (without any

risk of damage to the gearbox). Do

not exceed 60 m.p.h. (100 km/h),

speed restrictions permitting.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without

delay.

MANUAL GEARBOX

Reverse

To change to reverse gear, lift the

ring under the gear lever knob and

push the gear lever to the left then to

the front.

Reverse gear can only be

engaged when the vehicle is sta-

tionary with the engine idling.

The ESP system offers

increased safety during

normal driving, but should

not incite the driver to take

risks or to drive at high speed.

The operation of the system is

assured to the extent to which

the recommendations of the manu-

facturer regarding the wheels

(tyres and wheel rims), the braking

components, the electronic compo-

nents and the assembly and repair

procedures within the PEUGEOT

network are respected.

After an accident or impact, have

the system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND

DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL

(ESP)

These systems are linked and com-

plement the ABS system.

The ASR system optimises drive to

prevent the wheels skidding, by act-

ing on the brakes of the drive wheels

and on the engine. It also allows the

directional stability of the vehicle to

be improved on acceleration. If there

is a variation between the trajectory

followed by the vehicle and that

required by the driver, the ESP sys-

tem automatically acts on the engine

and the brake of one or morewheels,

in order to put the vehicle back on

course.

Operation of the ASR and

ESP systems

When one of these two sys-

tems is operating, this light

flashes.

Handbrake

Applying

When parking, pull the handbrake to

immobilise your vehicle.

Warning: when parking on a slope,

direct your wheels towards the pave-

ment and pull on the handbrake.

Releasing

Pull the handle and press the button

to release the handbrake.

Disarming the ESP / ASR

systems

In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in

mud or snow, or on loose ground...),

it could prove useful to disarm the

ASR system to make the wheels

spin and regain grip.

☞ Press the switch "ESP OFF", sit-

uated to the left of the steering

wheel.

The switch lights up and the indicator

lights come on, accompanied by the

message ''ASR/ESP de-activated''

on the multi–function display: the

ESP and ASR systems no longer

affect the operation of the engine or

the brakes.

They engage again:

☞ automatically when the ignition is

switched off,

☞ manually by pressing the switch

again.

on slippery roads or in

heavy traffic.

THE ABS ANTI-LOCK

BRAKING SYSTEM

When used with approved tyres in

good condition, the ABS increases

the stability and manoeuvrability of

your 406, particularly on poor or slip-

pery road surfaces.

The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when

there is a risk of wheel lock.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

In an emergency, this system

enables the optimum braking pres-

sure to be reached more quickly,

thus reducing the stopping distance.

It is triggered according to the speed

of activation of the brake pedal. The

effect of this is a reduction in the

resistance of the pedal and an

increase in braking efficiency.

The normal operation of the ABS

may make itself felt by slight

vibrations of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press

very firmly without releasing

the pressure.

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control enables the vehicle

to maintain a steady speed pro-

grammed by the driver, regardless of

the road characteristics and without

the driver having to touch the accel-

erator or brake pedals.

In order for it to be memorised, the

vehicle speed must be greater than

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

Operation

☞ Place switch 1 in the ON position.

A speed can be memorised.

☞ Place switch 1 in the OFF position

to cancel.

Memorising a speed

As soon as you reach the chosen

speed, press button 2 or 3. This

memorises the speed, which will be

maintained automatically.

Note: It is possible to accelerate

momentarily without disarming the

cruise control.

AIR BAGS

The air bags have been designed to

maximise the safety of the occu-

pants in the event of serious colli-

sions; they work in conjunction with

the force limiting seat belts.

In the event of a serious collision, the

electronic detectors record and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of

the vehicle: if the triggering threshold

is reached, the air bags inflate

instantly and protect the occupants

of the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the air

bags deflate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants nor their possible exit from the

vehicle.

The air bags will not be deployed in

collisions which are not serious, for

which the seat belt is sufficient to

provide maximum protection. The

seriousness of the collision depends

on the nature of the obstacle and the

speed of the vehicle at the moment

of impact.

Air bags operate only when the

ignition is switched on.

Note: the gas escaping from the air

bags can be a minor irritant.

FRONT AIR BAGS

These are folded in the centre of the

steering wheel for the driver and in the

fascia for the front passenger. They

are deployed simultaneously, except in

cases where the air bag is disarmed.

CHECKING THE LEVELS

Engine

Checking the oil level

Check the level regularly and top up

between changes. Maximum

consumption is 0.5 litres per

600 miles (1 000 km).

The oil level should be checked with

the vehicle level and the engine cold.

There are two marks on

the dipstick:

A = maximum

B = minimum

Oil change: according to the manu-

facturer's servicing schedule.

- Dipstick. Never fill past the maxi-

mum mark A .

- Oil level gauge on the instrument

panel.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer's require-

ments.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

Oil filter

Change the filter regularly according

to the servicing schedule.

Used oil

Prevent used oil from coming into

prolonged contact with the skin.

Do not dispose of used oil into drains

or onto the ground.

To maintain the reliability of engines

and emission control systems, the

use of additives in the engine oil is

prohibited.

Brakes and clutch

Checking the brake and clutch

fluid level:

- The level should always be above

the DANGER mark on the reser-

voir.

- If the level drops substantially,

contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-

diately.

Fluid change

- must be carried out according to

the manufacturer's servicing sche-

dule.

- use fluids approved by the manu-

facturer, which fulfil DOT 4 stan-

dards.

Cooling system

Use the fluid approved by the manu-

facturer.

When the engine is warm, the tem-

perature of the coolant is controlled

by the engine fan. Because this fan

can operate with the ignition key

removed and because the cooling

system is pressurised, wait for at

least one hour after the engine has

stopped before carrying out any

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

Only use products appro-

ved by Automobiles

PEUGEOT.

To ensure best perfor-

mance from components as

important as the power steering

and the braking system,

PEUGEOT selects and offers

quite specific products.

Power steering reservoir

Open the reservoir with the engine

cold. The level should always be

above the MINI mark, close to the

MAXI mark.

Windscreen and headlamp

wash reservoir

For best quality cleaning and for your

safety, we recommend that you use

products approved by PEUGEOT

(capacity 4.5 litres or 9 litres with

headlamp wash).

Battery

At the start of winter, have your bat-

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Air filter

Regular replacement of the filter ele-

ment is essential. If you drive in

very dusty conditions, change it

twice as often.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the

style of driving, in particular for

vehicles that are used in town, for

short journeys. It may be necessary

to check the thickness of the pads

even between services.

Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too

great or there is a reduction in the

performance of the system, the

handbrake should be adjusted, even

between services.

Have the system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Manual gearbox

This does not need an oil change.

Check the level according to the

manufacturer's servicing schedule.

Automatic autoadaptive

gearbox

This does not need an oil change.

Have the level checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer according to the

manufacturer's servicing schedule.

BATTERY

To charge the battery using a battery charger:

- Disconnect the battery,

- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,

- Reconnect starting with the negative (–) terminal,

- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-

phate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.

To start the vehicle from another battery:

- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,

- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the

slave battery,

- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the bro-

ken down vehicle, as far as possible from the battery,

Operate the starter, let the engine run.

Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.

- Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.

- Close the sunroof before disconnecting the battery. If it does not ope-

rate normally following re-connection of the battery, you must re-ini-

tialise it by turning the control to the maximum tilt position and pres-

sing it for an extended period.

- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait

1 minute before starting to allow the electronic systems to be initialised. If

slight difficulties are experienced after this, please contact a PEUGEOT

dealer.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used

for a period of more than one month.

Economy mode

With the engine switched off and the

ignition key in the "running" or

"accessories" position for about half

an hour, certain electrical equipment

(displays, instrument panel, warning

lights, courtesy lights, electric win-

dows, wipers etc.) will switch off

automatically to avoid draining the

battery.

Once the electrical equipment goes

into economy mode, it is necessary

to start the engine to enable the

equipment to work again.

Special features of the

automatic gearbox

When towing with four wheels on the

ground, the following rules must be

obeyed:

- gear lever in position N ,

- tow the vehicle at less than

30 m.p.h. (50 km/h) over a maxi-

mum distance of 30 miles (50 km).

- do not add oil to the gearbox.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)

You should always use a tow bar.

The towing eye is inside the spare wheel.

From the front:

Lift the cover using the flat part of the towing eye.

Screw in the towing eye until it locks.

From the rear:

Unclip the cover by passing your hand behind the bumper and pushing.

Screw in the towing eye until it locks.

Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)

It is preferable to raise the vehicle by the wheels.

Never use the radiator crossmember.

TOWING A TRAILER,

CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.

Only use original PEUGEOT tow

bars that have been tested and

approved from the design stage of

your vehicle.

The tow bar must be fitted by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Your vehicle is basically designed for

transporting people and luggage but it

may also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving with a trailer subjects the

towing vehicle to more significant

stress and its driver must be particu-

larly careful.

Air density decreases with altitude,

thus reducing engine performance.

The maximum towing load must

be reduced by 10% for every

1000 metres of altitude.

Driving advice

Distribution of loads: Distribute

the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are as close as possi-

ble to the axle and the nose weight

approaches the maximum permitted

without exceeding it.

Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope

increases the temperature of the

coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled,

its cooling capacity is not dependent

on the engine speed.

On the contrary, use a high gear to

lower the engine speed, and reduce

your speed.

The maximum towing speed on a

long slope depends on the gradient

and the outside temperature.

For vehicles fitted with a direct injec-

tion petrol engine, after towing or dri-

ving at high speed for a long period

of time, the fan may operate for

approximately 6 minutes.

In all cases, pay attention to the

coolant temperature.

If the warning light comes on, stop

the vehicle and switch off the engine

as soon as possible.

Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of

the towing vehicle and the trailer,

observing the recommended pres-

sures.

Brakes: Towing increases the brak-

ing distance.

Lights: Check the electrical sig-

nalling on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into acount the

increased sensitivity to side wind.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

FITTING ROOF BARS

When fitting roof bars across the

estate, ensure that they are posi-

tioned correctly.

The correct positions are shown by

marks on each of the longitudinal

bars.

Use accessories approved by Auto-

mobiles PEUGEOT and follow the

manufacturer’s fitting instructions.

Removing the mat

When removing the mat on the dri-

ver's side, move the seat as far back

as possible and remove the fixings.

When refitting the mat, position it

and replace the fixings by turning

them a quarter of a turn.
