system.

If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the en-
gine management system.
If it fl ashes, it indicates the occurrence
of a fault in the emission control system.

Maximum coolant
temperature.
If this comes on, it indicates that
the temperature in the cooling
system is too high. Stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
Low fuel level.
When this fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 6 litres
of
fuel remaining in the tank.
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid run-
ning out of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
this warning lamp comes on again each
time the ignition is switched on, along
with an audible signal and a message.
According to version, this audible signal
and this message are repeated, at in-
creasingly shorter intervals as the level
decreases towards "0"
.
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres
.

Door open.
A door, the boot or the rear
screen is open:
Battery charge.
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
battery charging circuit (dirty or
loose terminals, slack or cut alternator
belt...).
Engine oil pressure.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the en-
gine lubrication system. Stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Specifi c warning lamps


Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR).

The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically when
the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been deactivat-
ed, if this warning lamp and the indicator
lamp on the button come on continuously,
this indicates the occurrence of a fault in
the ESP/ASR system or in the hill start
assist system.



- if the speed is below 6 mph
(10 km/h), this warning lamp
comes on continuously.

- if the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10 km/h), this warning lamp comes
on continuously, accompanied by
an audible signal.
Never continue to drive until you
run out of fuel, this could damage
the emission control and injection
systems.


Foot on brake.
On the 6-speed electronic gear
system gearbox, with the gear
lever in position N
, press the
brake pedal to start the engine.
On the automatic gearbox, with the en-
gine running, press the brake pedal to
release the gear lever and disengage
position P
.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS

Airbags.

If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in one
of the airbag or pretensioning
seat belt systems.

Braking.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in one
of the braking systems:


- signifi cant drop in the brake fl uid
level,

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) faulty (simultaneous
lighting of the ABS warning lamp).
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
If the vehicle is moving, check that the
parking brake is fully released.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS).
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
anti-lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent op-
eration of the vehicle's servo-assisted
braking.

Door open.
A door, the boot or the rear
screen is open:
Parking brake.

If this is displayed, while the ve-
hicle is moving, it indicates that
the parking brake has not been
fully released.
Electronic immobiliser.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
electronic engine immobiliser
system or that the remote control bat-
tery is fl at.
Fuel level.
When this fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 6 litres
of
fuel remaining in the tank
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid run-
ning out of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
this warning lamp comes on again each
time the ignition is switched on, along
with an audible signal and a message.
According to version, this audible signal
and this message are repeated, at in-
creasingly shorter intervals as the level
decreases towards "0"
.
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres
.

Screenwash fl uid level.

If this is displayed, following an
action on the wiper stalk, it indi-
cates that the screenwash fl uid
level is low.
Fill the screenwash/headlamp wash fl uid
reservoir when you next stop.


-
if the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning lamp is displayed in orange,

- if the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning lamp is displayed in red.


Never continue to drive until you
run out of fuel, this could damage
the emissions control and injection
systems.
Engine oil pressure.

If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
engine lubrication circuit. Stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Engine oil level.

If this is displayed, it indicates
that the engine oil level is too
low. Stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.

Coolant temperature.

If this is displayed, it indicates
that the temperature in the cool-
ing system is too high. Stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.

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.

Driving advice

As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
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
signalling 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.

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

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 towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
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.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
If your vehicle is fi tted with the
1.6 THP 200 hp engine, you can-
not fi t a towbar. The space occu-
pied by the sport exhaust system
prevents this.
