operating status of the vehicle can
it be ascertained whether the situ-
ation is normal or whether a fault
has occurred.

Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the switching on of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver. Any fault resulting in the switching on of a warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated message on the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

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 nee-
dle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
the multifunction screen.
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, re-
move the cap,
top up the level to the "MAX" mark. 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.

The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.

This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.
