Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, the switching on of one of the following 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.

Warning lamp is on Cause Action/Observations

STOP fi xed, associated
with another warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message on the screen. It is associated with a
punctured wheel, the braking
system, the power steering,
the engine oil pressure or the
engine coolant temperature.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Service temporarily.
A minor fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen, such as, for
example:
- the closing of the doors, boot or
bonnet,
- the engine oil level,
- the screenwash level,
- the remote control battery,
- the tyre pressures,
- saturation of the particle emission fi lter (Diesel).
For any other faults, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
fi xed. A major fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Electric
parking brake fl ashing.
The electric parking brake is
not applied automatically. You must stop immediately where it is
safe to do so.
Park on level ground, switch off the
ignition and contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Warning lamp is on Cause Action/Observations

Engine
autodiagnosis system
fi xed. The emission control system
has a fault. This lamp should switch off when the
engine is started.
If it does not switch off, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer urgently.
fl ashing. The engine management
system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic
convertor.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.

Engine oil
pressure fi xed. There is a fault with the
engine lubrication system. Stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.

Battery
charge fi xed. The battery charging circuit
has a fault (dirty or loose
terminals, slack or cut
alternator belt, ...). This lamp should switch off when the
engine is started.
If it does not switch off, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

34
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 on
the multifunction 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 allow
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.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

Particle
emissions fi lter
(Diesel) fi xed, associated
temporarily with
lighting of the service warning lamp. This indicates that the
particle emissions fi lter is
starting to become saturated. As soon as driving conditions allow,
regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h) until
the service warning lamp switches off.
fi xed, associated temporarily with
lighting of the service warning lamp. This indicates the minimum
level for the Diesel fuel
additive reservoir.
Have the reservoir topped up as soon as
possible by a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
197
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 pressures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine 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 suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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 in-
structions.
