Warning lamps

When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, the illumination of one of the fol-
lowing warning lamps indicates a fault which
requires action on the part of the driver. Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated message in the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed, alone or
associated with
another warning lamp,
accompanied by an
audible signal and a
message on the screen.
Illumination of the warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system or
engine coolant temperature
problem. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine
may cut out when driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Service


temporarily. Minor problems have
occurred for which there is
no specifi c warning lamp. Identify the problem by reading the message
shown in the screen, such as, for example:


- the engine oil level,

- the screenwash level,

- the remote control battery,

-
saturation of the particle emission fi lter on Diesel
vehicles (see "Checks - § particle emissions fi lter").

For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

fi xed. Major problems have
occurred for which there is
no specifi c warning lamp. Identify the problem by reading the message
shown in the screen and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Braking


fi xed, associated
with the STOP
warning lamp. The braking system fl uid
level is too low. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Top
up with brake fl uid recommended by PEUGEOT.
If the problem persists, have the system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Coolant temperature indicator

System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the en-
gine coolant while driving.
With the engine running, when the nee-
dle is:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B
, the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1
and the central STOP
warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:


)
wait for the engine to cool,

)
unscrew the cap by two turns to al-
low the pressure to drop,

)
when the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark
(circular line). On petrol engines, the cooling of the
engine is managed electronically to
reduce fuel consumption. Conse-
quently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient conditions
and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather (normal operation
may lead to a temperature of over
100 °).

CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Take care when working under the bon-
net, as some parts of the engine can be
extremely hot (risk of burns).

Brake fluid level

To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
It is normal to top up the engine oil between
two services. The manufacturer recom-
mends a check of the oil level, and top up
if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the brake fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.


Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate after the vehicle has been switched
off, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash * fluid

The minimum level of this fl uid
is indicated by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.

* According to country.
Changing the engine oil
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

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

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation
To guarantee optimum cleaning and
avoid freezing, plain water should not
be used to top up or replace this fl uid.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
145
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the
towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel
of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast
roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use
an approved towing bar; rope and
straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the
engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recovery
service:


- vehicle broken down on a mo-
torway or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,

- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,

- where there is no approved
towing bar available...

TOWING A TRAILER

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.

Distribution of loads


)
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer with additional lighting and sig-
nalling.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted in
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving advice


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.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
