When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.
Range
When the engine is
running, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.th is value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a large variation in the
current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect.
t
h
erefore,
you must fill the tank whenever
possible.
Coolant temperature gauge
If the bar is close to the critical position located
on the right, the temperature is too high.

Ventilation
Air intake
the air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen
or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
the incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
-
p

assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).
Control panel

lace the air distribution adjustment
dial 3 in the "AUTO" position. When the engine is cold, to avoid an
excessive distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will reach its optimum level
gradually.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder
(or warmer) than the temperature
setting.
t
h
ere is no need to change the
temperature setting in order to reach
the comfort required rapidly.
th

e automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will operate to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
In automatic mode:

(Rapid heating), the intake of exterior air is
activated and the air conditioning stops.
F
w
hen the temperature is set to minimum
(Rapid cooling), air recirculation is
activated and the air conditioning operates.
th

e system controls the air distribution, the flow,
the temperature and the air intake to ensure
the level of comfort selected and adequate air
circulation in the passenger compartment. No
further action on your part is required.

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 towing load must
be reduced by 10
% of the gt
W a
nd so on for
every 1
000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "
te

chnical Data" section for details
of the weights and towing loads which apply to
your vehicle.
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 l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e maximum towing load on a long slope
depends on the gradient and the outside
temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this message is displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
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 lighting and signalling on the t r a i l e r.
If the message flashes slowly, wait for the
engine to cool before topping up the level,
if


necessary.
If the message flashes rapidly, contact a
P
e

dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.

4008_en_Chap08_verifications_ed01-2014
Checking levels
take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at
any time (even with the ignition off).
Oil level
the check of the the level is done
out with the dipstick, located under
the bonnet. Refer to the description
of your engine compartment for the
position of the dipstick.Engine oil change
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, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Oil specification
the oil must be the correct grade for your
engine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record.
t
o
p them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a P
e
uge

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Dipstick
there are two marks on the dipstick:
A = maximum
If the level is above this
mark, contact a P
e

uge

dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
to

p up the level through the
oil filler orifice, using the
correct grade of oil for your
engine.
t
h
e level must never
be below this mark.
th

is check will only be correct if the vehicle is
on level ground and the engine has been off for
more than 30 minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two services (or oil changes). P
e

uge
Ot


recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 km).
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not valid
during the 30 minutes after topping up.
