WARNING LIGHTS

A permanently lit warning light or one fl ashing, with th e engine running, indicates an operating fault of the uni t
concerned. The illumination of certain warning lights m ay be accompanied by an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display. Do not ignore this warning: con sult a
PEUGEOT dealer.

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
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the
ignition is switched on.
Linked to the warning lights:
- ''engine oil pressure and tempera- ture'',
- "punctured wheel",
- "maximum coolant temperature",
- "handbrake'', ''low brake fl uid level'', and ''electronic brake
force distribution''.

You must stop if the light comes
on with the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Engine oil pressure and
temperature warning
light
This comes on for a few seconds each
time the ignition is switched on.
Linked to the central STOP warning
light.
If this warning light comes on, with
the engine running, it indicates one
of the following:
- insuffi cient oil pressure,
- a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the level,
- an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is accom-
panied by an audible signal. To
lower the oil temperature, reduce
your speed.

You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Service warning light
This comes on for a few se-
conds each time the ignition
is switched on.
If this warning light comes on, with the en-
gine running, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multifunc-
tion display, it indicates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the systems which
does not have a specifi c warning light.
Consult the message on the multi-
function display to identify the system
concerned.
Check:
- the remote control battery,
- the pressure of the tyres,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the condition of the bulbs.
For all other cases, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The lighting of this warning light may
also indicate the start of saturation of
the particle emission fi lter (Diesel),
due to exceptionally prolonged urban
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive, as soon as traf-
fi c conditions permit, at a speed of
35 mph (60 km/h) or more for at least
fi ve minutes (until the warning light
switches off).
If the warning light remains on, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

Lack of oil
If "OIL" fl ashes and the service warn-
ing light comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display, this indicates
a lack of oil which could damage the
engine.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essential
that the level is topped up.
Engine oil level indicator
When the ignition is switched on, the
engine oil level is indicated for approxi-
mately 5 seconds after the service indi-
cator display.
Oil level gauge fault
Check the oil level using the dipstick.
If "OIL --" fl ashes, this indicates a
malfunction of the engine oil level
gauge.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY
After switching on the ignition, three
functions are shown in succession:
- service indicator,
- engine oil level indicator
- total distance recorder (total and trip distances).
The level read on the dipstick
will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off
for more than 15 minutes.
Oil level correct

Note: the trip distance is displayed
for thirty seconds, when the ignition is
switched off, on opening and closing
the driver's door as well as on locking
the vehicle.
It also displays the "2 Tronic" gear-
box positions and operating modes
selected, as well as the information
relating to the cruise control or speed
limiter when one of these functions is
active.

If this warning light comes on
on the instrument panel and
the indicator light on the but-
ton comes on, this indicates
that the ASR and ESP sys-
tems are disarmed.
TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems The warning light fl ashes if
the ASR or ESP is activated. Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may
be advisable to disarm the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.

 Press the "ESP OFF" button,
located in the centre of the
fascia.
Reactivation These systems are reactivated auto-
matically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).

 Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
multifunction display, this indi-
cates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The ESP/ASR systems offer excep-
tional safety in normal driving, but
this should not encourage the driver
to take extra risks or drive at high
speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation of
the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When the ignition is on, the ASR and
ESP systems are always active.
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
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 tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course, within the limits of
the laws of physics.

Seat belt not fastened warning If the driver and/or the
front passenger has not
fastened his seat belt,
the corresponding warn-
ing light comes on when
the ignition is on, then, at a speed
above 12 mph (20 km/h), this is accom-
panied by an audible signal the volume
of which increases (for approximately
two minutes) and a message on the
multifunction display.

Note: a bag or an animal placed on
the front passenger seat may trigger
lighting of the warning light.
Seat belt unfastened warning
If the driver and/or one
of the passengers has
unfastened his seat
belt, the corresponding
warning light comes on
when the engine is running, then, at a
speed above 12 mph (20 km/h), this
is accompanied by an audible signal
the volume of which increases (for
approximately two minutes) and a
message on the multifunction display.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are fi tted with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
The retaining of the rear seat belt
buckle by the sliding block makes
folding down or complete folding of
the seats easier.
Fastening

 Pull the strap, then insert the
buckle in the stalk.

 Check that the seat belt is
fastened correctly by pulling the
strap.
Unfastening

 Press the red button on the stalk.
Version with colour display
If the driver and/or one of the pas-
sengers has not fastened (or has
unfastened) his seat belt, a message
appears on the multifunction display.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be
changed at the intervals
stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the man-
ufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards. Windscreen and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and
for your safety, we would ad-
vise that you use products
recommended by PEUGEOT .
When the level is low, this is indicated
by an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction display.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
Cooling system
Use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can ope
rate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pres-
surised, wait for at least one hour after
the engine has stopped before carry-
ing out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. Diesel additive level (Diesel
with particle emission filter)
Lighting of the service warning light,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal, indicates that the die-
sel additive level is low.
This additive must be topped up.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.

Note
: the coolant does not need to
be changed.
The level must always be
above the MIN mark and
close to the MAX mark. Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Oil level
Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the oil level gauge
on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, etc.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
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 load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
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 of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.

Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.

Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into account the in-
creased sensitivity to side wind.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When fi tting transverse or longitudi-
nal roof bars, use the accessories
recommended by PEUGEOT and
follow the manufacturer's fi tting in-
structions.
For further information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Maximum authorised weight on
the roof bars: 60 kg
Please refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transportation of
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.
Driving advice

Distribution of loads: Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
