WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
Central STOP

seconds each time the ignition is
switched on. It is linked with the
warnings for:
- "engine oil pressure",
- "coolant temperature".

Stop immediately if this
lamp

comes on with the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure
warning lamp
This comes on each time
the ignition is switched on
until the engine is started.
If it comes on linked with the STOP
warning lamp, with the engine run-
ning, this indicates that the oil pres-
sure is too low.

Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature
warning lamp
This comes on for a few sec-
onds each time the ignition is
switched on. Anti-lock braking
system (ABS)
warning lamp
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 servo-assistance.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Parking brake, low
brake fluid level
and braking system
warning lamp
This comes on each time the ignition
is switched on until the parking brake
is released. Electric power
steering warning lamp
This comes on for a few
seconds each time the igni-
tion is switched on.
Fixed lighting, when the vehicle is
moving, indicates a malfunction of
the electric steering system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
If this warning lampcomes 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 scalding,
unscrew the cap 1/4 of a turn
to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move 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 parking brake is applied
or has not been released fully,
when the vehicle is moving,
- an excessive drop in the brake fl uid level (if the warning lamp
remains on even with the parking
brake released),
- a braking system fault.

Stop immediately.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS
CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks
on the dipstick:

A = maximum
If you fi ll past this
mark, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

B = minimum
Never allow the level
to fall below this mark.
Dipstick
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
Windscreen wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you
use products recommended by your
manufacturer.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil viscosity grade
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments. Cooling system
Used oil
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
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-
ing. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level. Only use the fl uid recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine.
Do not dispose of used oil,
brake fl uid or coolant into
drains or into the ground.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers provided for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network (France) or at an
authorised waste disposal site.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1 000 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 op-
erate 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.
