INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Instrument panel display After switching on the ignition, three functions are shown in succession:
Ð service indicator (see corresponding section),
Ð engine oil level indicator, Ð total distance recorder/total and trip distances.Note:
the total and trip distances are displayed for 30 seconds when the ignition
is switched off, on opening the driver's door, as well as on locking and unlocking the vehicle. Engine oil level When the ignition is switched on, the engine oil level is indicated for approximate- ly 10 seconds, after the servicing information.
Maximum Check the level using the dipstick to confirm whe- ther the message is correct; a surplus of oil cancause damage to the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay. Minimum.
Check the level with the dipstick and top it up. The figu- re shown is only correct if the vehicle has been onstable, level ground, with the engine stopped, for 10minutes. Oil level gauge fault The 6 segments flash; they indicate a fault in the oil level gauge. There is a risk the engine will be damaged.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil temperature indicator light When the engine is running, it indicates the oil temperature:
- When the needle is in zone
C, the
temperature is correct,
- When the needle is in zone D, the
temperature is too high. To lower the oil temperature, reduce yourspeed.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE107
Battery
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
Ð Disconnect the battery.
Ð Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer.
Ð Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal.
Ð 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 and charge the battery from another battery:
Ð Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries.
Ð Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the slave battery.
Ð 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. Economy mode function After the engine has stopped, with the key in the accessories position, cer-
tain functions (windscreen wiper, elec-tric windows, courtesy lights, audioequipment etc.) can only be used forthirty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, the message
"Economy mode active"
appears on the multifunction displayand the active functions are put on
standby.
A flat battery will prevent the engine from starting.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to allow the electronic systems to be initiali- sed. 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.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE

Towing a trailer, caravan, boat etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle.The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly 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 significant stressand its driver must be particularlycareful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.The maximum towing load must bereduced by 10% for every1000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loadsDistribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close aspossible to the axle and the noseweight approaches the maximum per-mitted 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 onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and theoutside temperature. Always pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
Tyres Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing therecommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking dis- tance. Lights Adjust your headlamps so that they do not dazzle other road users.Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sensi- tivity to side wind.
