INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS


Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations








Engine
autodiagnosis
system


fi xed. The emission control system
has a fault. The warning lamp should go off when
the engine is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or qualifi ed workshop without delay.

fl ashing. The engine management
system has a fault.
Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.






Low fuel
level


fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
6 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time the ignition
is switched on, until a suffi cient addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 60 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.





Maximum
coolant
temperature


fi xed with the needle
in the red zone. The temperature of the
cooling system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down
before topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.






Engine oil
pressure


fi xed. There is a fault with the
engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.







Dynamic
stability
control
(ESP/ASR)

fl ashing. The ESP/ASR regulation is
active. The system optimises traction and
improves the directional stability of the
vehicle.

fi xed. Unless it has been
deactivated (button pressed
and its indicator lamp on) the
ESP/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a
qualifi ed workshop.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS












Coolant temperature indicator

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 in
the screen. 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 al-
low the pressure to drop,

)
when the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

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 or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

Directional
headlamps


fl ashing. The directional headlamps
system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.






Under-
infl ated tyre


fi xed. The pressure in one or more
wheels is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon
as possible.
This check should preferably be carried
out when the tyres are cold.

CHECKS





































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 system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

Brake fluid level

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.

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 check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator on the instrument
panel, or using the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
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
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.

Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.

Changing the coolant
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 with or replaced with plain water.



Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extreme-
ly hot (risk of burns).

It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres). In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
