 FUEL GAUGE 
 The fuel level is tested each time the key is  
turned to the "running" position. 
 The gauge is positioned on: 
   -    F (Full):   the capacity of the fuel tank is 
approximately   45 litres . 
  -     E (Empty):   the reserve is now being 
used, the warning light comes on 
continuously.  
 The reserve when the warning first comes 
on is approximately 6 litres. 
  COOLANT TEMPERATURE 
  
The needle is positioned between  
C (Cold) and H (Hot):   normal operation. 
 In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic 
conditions, the needle may move close to 
the red graduations.    -   wait approximately 15 minutes to allow 
the engine to cool down in order to check 
the level and top it up if necessary. The 
cooling system is pressurised. In order to 
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the 
cap by two turns to allow the pressure to 
drop.  
 When the pressure has dropped, check the 
level and remove the cap to top up. 
 If the needle remains in the red zone, 
contact a  PEUGEOT dealer . 
 Refer to the "Levels" section of  
chapter 7.     Refer to the "Levels" section of 
chapter 7.  
   
What you should do if the needle  
enters the red zone, or if the warning 
light comes on:   
   -   stop immediately, switch off the ignition.  The fan may continue to operate for 
a certain time up to approximately 
10 minutes. 
EMISSION CONTROL
 EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is  
a diagnostics system which complies with, 
among others, the standards concerning 
authorised emissions of: 
   -   CO (carbon monoxide),  
  -   HC (unburnt hydrocarbons), 
  -   NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles  detected by oxygen sensors placed  
upstream and downstream of the catalytic 
converters.  
Therefore, the driver is warned of 
any malfunction of this emission 
control system by the flashing of 
this specific warning light on the 
instrument panel.

  SERVICE INDICATOR 
 The display on the instrument panel  
informs you when the next service is due, 
in accordance with the "Manufacturer ’s" 
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing 
booklet. This information is determined in 
relation to the distance travelled since the 
previous service.    You are warned by flashing of the  
engine oil pressure warning light 
and the displaying of a message 
on the instrument panel each time 
the vehicle is started. 
    
In this case, your vehicle must be 
serviced as soon as possible.

 ELECTRONIC IMMOBILISER 
 All of the keys contain an electronic  
immobiliser device. 
 This device locks the engine supply system. 
It is activated automatically when the key is 
removed from the ignition. 
 After the ignition is switched on, a dialogue 
is established between the key and the 
electronic immobiliser system.  This warning light is switched off 
after the ignition is switched on 
and the key has been recognised, 
the engine can be started. 
 If the key is not recognised, the engine 
cannot be started. Use another key and 
have the faulty key checked by a  PEUGEOT 
dealer . 
  Good practice 
 Do not make any modifications to the  
electronic immobiliser system. 
 Operating the remote control, even when it 
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary 
unlocking of the doors. 
 The simultaneous use of other high 
frequency equipment (mobile telephones, 
domestic alarms…), may interfere with the 
operation of the remote control temporarily. 
  
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:   
   -   ensure that you are given the confidential  card, 
  -   have the keys memorised by a   PEUGEOT dealer  to ensure that the keys 
in your possession are the only ones 
which can start the vehicle.  
 Driving with the doors locked may  
make access to the passenger 
compartment by the emergency services 
more difficult in an emergency. 
 As a safety precaution (with children on 
board), remove the key from the ignition 
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short 
time.  
 ALARM 
 This provides:  
   -   exterior perimeter protection by means of  detectors on the doors and bonnet and 
on the electrical supply, 
  -   interior protection,  
  -   anti-lift protection,  
  -   protection against the unauthorised  insertion of a key in the starter.  
 The equipment includes a siren. 
  Activation of the alarm 
 First ensure that all of the accesses are  
closed correctly. 
 The alarm is activated by pressing 
this control, the protection is 
active after a few seconds. 
 While the alarm is monitoring, any 
intrusion triggers the siren for approximately 
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the 
direction indicators. 
 The alarm then returns to monitoring mode. 
 The alarm is also triggered following an 
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is 
restored.
