Instruments and controls
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 fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty): the reserve is now being
used, the warning lamp comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
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 for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
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 "Fuel" section of chapter 7.
What you should do if the needle enters the
red zone, or if the warning
lamp
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 lighting of this specifi c
warning lamp on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

Deterioration of the engine oil (100 and 120 bhp engines)
The "Oil Life" function determines the
service interval, between 20,000 miles
(30,000 km) and 30,000 miles (45,000 km),
depending on the wear of the engine oil.
The engine control unit tests the degree of
wear of the engine oil. Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on handover of the vehicle.

clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,

the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

EASE OF USE AND COMFORT
Improved comfort
SOUNDPROOFING
Your vehicle benefits from a suspension
which contributes to improving general
comfort.
These developments also contribute to
reducing noise disturbance.
IMPROVED COMFORT
TREATMENT OF THE BODYWORK LEADING TO ACOUSTIC COMFORT
The underseal under the body, on the body
sills and on the wheel arches considerably
reduces noise and protects the body from
external attack. Your vehicle is treated by cataphoresis,
ensuring perfect protection against
corrosion. The anticorrosion warranty has a
duration of 6 years.
