INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
WARNING LIGHTS AND
INDICATORS
Central STOP
warning light
This fl ashes for a few
seconds each time the
ignition is switched on. Linked with
the warnings:
- "engine oil pressure",
- "coolant temperature",

Stop immediately if this light comes
on with the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure
warning light
This comes on each time
the ignition is switched on
until the engine is started.
If it comes on linked with the STOP
warning light, with the engine run-
ning, this indicates that the oil pres-
sure is too low.

Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature
warning light
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the igni-
tion is switched on. Anti-lock braking
system (ABS) warning
light
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the ignition is
switched on.
Fixed lighting indicates a malfunction
of the ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional braking with assistance.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake, low brake
fluid level and braking
system warning light
This comes on each time
the ignition is switched on until the
handbrake is released. Electric power
steering warning light
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the igni-
tion is switched on.
Fixed lighting, when the vehicle is
moving, indicates a malfunction of
the electric steering system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If this warning light comes on, with
the engine running, this indicates
an abnormal increase in the coolant
temperature.

Stop immediately .
Check the coolant level.
To do this, wait until the engine has
cooled before topping up the level.
The cooling system is pressurised.
When checking the level, and
to avoid any risk of scald-
ing, unscrew the cap 1/4 of
a turn to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap.
Then:

1. top up, if necessary (see
"Levels").

2. or, if the level is satisfactory,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Fixed lighting, with the engine run-
ning, indicates one of the following:
- that the handbrake is applied
or has not been released fully,
when the vehicle is moving,
- an excessive drop in the brake fl uid level (if the warning light
remains on even with the
handbrake released),
- a braking system fault.

Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

COMFORT
VENTILATION
Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature re-
mains very high after a pro-
longed period parked in the
sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few
minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter, located below the wind-
screen, in the engine compartment,
is in good condition. Have the fi lter
elements replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
In order to ensure that your air condi-
tioning system continues to operate
correctly, you are advised to have it
checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a fl ow of wa-
ter under the vehicle when stationary
which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

3. Side vents.

4. Diffusion grille.

5. Air outlets to the footwells.

1. Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vent.

2. Side window de-icing or
demisting vents.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine
and does not present any
danger to the ozone layer.

SAFETY When this warning light
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
When these warn-
ing lights come on
s i m u l t a n e o u s l y,
it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
handbrake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking,
press very fi rmly without
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and sup-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving 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
brake of one or more wheels and on
the engine to put the vehicle back on
course, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Operating check
Operation of the ASR
and ESP systems When one of these two
systems is operating, this
warning light comes on. When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, this warn-
ing light comes on.
The ASR/ESP systems of-
fer exceptional safety dur-
ing normal driving, but this
should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the man-
ufacturer's recommendations re-
garding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components and the
electronic components as well as the
PEUGEOT assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Activation of the ESP system is also
accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the systems checked.

CHECKS
CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fi ll past this mark,
contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

B = minimum
Never allow the level
to fall below this mark.
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 wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Cooling system
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level. Only use the fl uid recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As 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 work.

ance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as the braking
circuit, PEUGEOT selects and offers
specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced reg-
ularly.
If you drive in dusty condi-
tions, change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
(DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the pump at least 10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protec-
tive cover which must fi rst be un-
clipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.

Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds of attempts,
ope-rate the repriming pump
again approximately fi fteen
times before trying again.
If the emission control warning light
has come on, it will only switch off
after your vehicle has been used
several times.
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.
