Engine oil pressure
warning light
This comes on each time
the ignition is switched on
until the engine is started.
If it comes on linked with the STOP
warning light, with the engine run-
ning, this indicates that the oil pres-
sure is too low.
Stop immediately.

warning light
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the igni-
tion is switched on. Anti-lock braking
system (ABS) warning
light
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the ignition is
switched on.
Fixed lighting indicates a malfunction
of the ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional braking with assistance.

Fixed lighting, when the vehicle is
moving, indicates a malfunction of
the electric steering system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If this warning light comes on, with
the engine running, this indicates
an abnormal increase in the coolant
temperature.
Stop immediately .
Check the coolant level.
To do this, wait until the engine has
cooled before topping up the level.
The cooling system is pressurised.
When checking the level, and
to avoid any risk of scald-
ing, unscrew the cap 1/4 of
a turn to allow the pressure
to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap.
Then:
1. top up, if necessary (see
"Levels").
2. or, if the level is satisfactory,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Fixed lighting, with the engine run-
ning, indicates one of the following:
- that the handbrake is applied
or has not been released fully,
when the vehicle is moving,
- an excessive drop in the brake fl u i d l e v e l ( i f t h e w a r n i n g l i g h t

very corrosive.
To maintain the reliability of
engines and emission control
systems, the use of additives
in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a
turn to release the pressure
to prevent any risk of scald-

Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
b r a k e fl u i d o r c o o l a n t i n t o
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the
containers provided for this
purpose in the PEUGEOT
network.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
