ning, indicates an operating fault
of the unit concerned.
The illumination of certain warning
lights may be accompanied by an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display. Do not ignore
this warning: consult a PEUGEOT
dealer as soon 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 warning
lights:
- engine oil pressure and tempera- ture,
- low coolant level,
- handbrake,
- low brake fluid level,
- electronic brake force distribution system fault.
Linked to the coolant temperature
indicator.
You must stop if the light flashes
with the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure
and temperature
warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning
light.
You must stop.
This warning light indicates one of
the following:
- insufficient 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 accompa-
nied by an audible signal. To lower
