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

Warning lights is on Cause Actions, observations

STOP fi xed, associated with
another warning light and accompanied by a message on the display. It is associated with a
punctured wheel, the
braking, the power steering,
the engine oil pressure or
the coolant temperature.
You must stop immediately where it is
safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Identify the fault by consulting the
message shown on the display, such as:
- the closing of the doors, boot or
bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- the pressure of the tyres,
- the end of saturation of the particle emission fi lter (Diesel).
For any other faults, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Service temporarily.
A minor fault which does not
have a specifi c warning light
has occurred.

have a specifi c warning light
has occurred.
Identify the fault by consulting the
message shown on the display and
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Engine
autodiagnostics system
fi xed. The emission control system
is faulty. This light should switch off when the
engine is started.
If it does not switch off, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
fl ashing. The engine management
system is faulty, there is a risk
of destruction of the catalytic
converter. You must stop immediately where it is
safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Low fuel level fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. The fuel tank contains
approximately 5 litres.
Depending on your style of driving and
your engine, you have enough fuel left to
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km).
Fill your fuel tank as soon as possible.
Capacity approximately
60 litres.
Never continue to drive until you run out
of fuel, this could damage the emission
control and injection systems.
Coolant
temperature fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. The temperature of the
cooling system is too high.
You must stop immediately where it is
safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down
before topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, park, switch off
the ignition and call a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure fi xed. The engine lubrication circuit
is faulty.
You must stop immediately where it is
safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery charge fi xed. The battery charging circuit
is faulty (dirty or loose
terminals, slack or cut
alternator belt, ...).
This light should switch off when the
engine is started.
If it does not switch off, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

34
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 warning
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.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
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.

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the consump-
tion should not exceed 0.5 litre per
600 miles (1,000 km). The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Power steering fluid level The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level. Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible signal
and a message on the multi-
function display.
Top up the level when you stop the vehicle.
Draining the engine
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engi-
neand conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.
Draining the circuit
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with water.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is cold. Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
188
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
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

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

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance
will be deactivated automati-
cally if an original PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp 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.
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.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting 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.

dle is:

ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on
