Warning / indicator lampStateCause Action / Observations
Braking fixed. 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 a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
+ fixed, associated
with the ABS warning
lamp.The 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.
Maximum
coolant
temperature fixed with the needle
in the red zone.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Anti-lock
Braking 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
d e l ay.

Coolant temperature gauge
With the engine running, when the needle is:
- i n zone A , the temperature is correct,
-

i
n 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 the
engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
F

w
ait for the engine to cool,
F
u
nscrew the cap slightly to allow the
pressure to drop,
F
w
hen the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,
F
t
op up the level to the "MA X" mark.
Be aware of the risk of burns when
topping up the cooling system. Do not
fill above the maximum level (indicated
on the header tank).

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest 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. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and
the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as
possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

2008_en_Chap10_verifications_ed01-2015
Coolant level
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 replaced at
routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
