Cause



Action/Observations







STOP


fi xed, alone
or associated
with another
warning lamp,
accompanied
by an audible
signal and a
message in
the screen. Illumination of this warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system,
power steering, engine
lubrication or cooling
system malfunction or a
punctured tyre. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a
risk that the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition 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.

+


fi xed, associated
with the STOP
and 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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.




Maximum
coolant
temperature


fi xed 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 qualifi ed workshop.

Coolant temperature indicator

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
warning lamp
come on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a 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 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
allow the pressure to drop,

)
when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
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.


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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.

Driving advice

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 t-
ting 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 manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and signal-
ling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
