Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of
the changes in the temperature of the
engine 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

Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
After driving for a few minutes, the
tempe rature and pressure in the coo ling
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.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two para-
meters:
- 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 service is 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 ser-
vice information appears on the display.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
Following this operation, if you
wish to disconnect the battery, lock
the vehicle and wait at least fi ve
mi nutes for the zero reset to be
taken into account.
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.
To do this, carry out the following pro-
cedure:

 switch off the ignition,

 press and hold the trip distance recorder zero reset button,

 switch on the ignition; the distance recorder display begins a count-
down,

 when the display indicates "=0" ,
release the button; the spanner dis-
appears.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depen-
ding on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
the spanner fl ashes to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles (km).
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 lit . Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information
at any time.

 Press the trip distance recorder zero
reset button.
The service information is displayed for a few seconds, then disappears.
