Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the en-
gine coolant while driving.
With the engine running, when the needle
is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
light 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing light come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction display.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:

 wait for the engine to cool,

 unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop,

 when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,

 top up the level to the "MAX" mark
(circular line).
On petrol engines, the cooling of
the engine is managed electroni-
cally to improve consumption. Con-
sequently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient condi-
tions and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
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 dipstick. This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level.
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the manu-
facturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards.

Note : brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine at
ambient temperature. The level should
always be above the MIN. mark and
close to the MAX. mark.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level Avoid used oil coming into pro-
longed contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the con-
tainers intended for this purpose
in the PEUGEOT network.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level (circular line).
Use the fl uid recommended by
the manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture 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.
Slacken the cap by two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed. For best quality cleaning and to
avoid freezing, this fl uid must
not be topped up or replaced
with water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited.

TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
In the case of vehicles equipped with an
HDI engine, it is recommended that the
engine is left running at idle for approxi-
mately 20 seconds after intensive use
(towing on a motorway, prolonged driv-
ing, ...) before the ignition is switched off.
This limits increases in the temperature
of the engine after it is switched off.

Note: in certain cases of particularly ar-
duous use (towing the maximum load
in high temperatures), the engine lim-
its its power automatically. In this case,
switching off the air conditioning will
regain engine power and therefore in-
crease the towing capacity.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
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 approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
 If the warning light and the

STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
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.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
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 t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer 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. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
