INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

27
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 light 1and the central STOP warning light come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multi-function display.You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.
Contact 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 toallow the pressure to drop,
 when the pressure has dropped,remove the cap,
 top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
Manual CHECK
System which informs the driver of the warnings present and of the activated or deactivated status of the functions.
 With the engine running, to start a manual check, press the "CHECK/000" button on the instrument panel.
If no "major" faults have been detected, "CHECK OK" appears on the large in-strument panel display.
If a "minor" fault has been detected, the warning lights concerned then "CHECK OK" appear on the large instrument panel display. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
If a "major" fault has been detected, only the warning lights concerned appear on the large instrument panel display. Con-tact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.

Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the next service is due, in accordance with the manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due is calculated from the last indicator zero re-set. It is determined by two parameters:
- the distance travelled,- the time elapsed since the last service.
Between 600 miles (1 000 km) and 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising the service operations comes on. The distance recorder display line indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due.
Example: 2 800 km remain before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner is switched off; the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The display then indicates the total and trip distances.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km) remain before the next serviceis due
Example: 900 km remain before the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on to indicate that a service must be carried out soon.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km) remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service information appears on the dis-play.
