Brakingfixed. The braking system fluid level has
dropped significantly. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fluid listed by PEUGEOT.
If the problem persists, have the system checked by aPEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

fixed, associated
with the ABS warnin
g lamp. Th
e electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) system has a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Maximumcoolanttemperature
fixed with the needlein the red zone. The temperature of the coolingsystem is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before toppingup the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Anti-lockBraking System(ABS)
fixed. The anti-lock braking system has a
fault. The vehicle retains conventional braking.
Drive carefully at reduced speed and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without
delay.
Dynamic stability control(DSC/ASR)

flashing. The DSC/ASR regulation is
operating. The system optimises traction and improves the
directional stability of the vehicle.

fixed. Unless it has been deactivated (button pressed and its indicator lamp
on) the DSC/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEU
GEOT or a qualified
workshop.

Coolant temperature gauge
With the engine running, when the needle is:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B, the temperature is too high;
the maximum temperature and the central STOP
warning lamps come on,accompanied by an audible signal and a
warning message in the screen.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop.
After drivin
g for a few minutes, the temperatureand pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
) wait for the engine to cool, )
unscrew the cap slightly to allow the
pressure to drop,
) when the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,) top up the level to the "MA X" mark.

Be aware of the risk of burns whentopping up the cooling system. Do not fill above the maximum level (indicatedon the reservoir).

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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. Above1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
R
efer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

194
Checks

The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.


Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.



Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
When the engine is warm, the temperature o
f
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles andclothing that might become caught by thefan blades.
