Fuel warning light
In certain driving conditions and de-

which you will be able to travel with
the remaining fuel may be less than
30 miles (50 kilometres) (the capacity
of the tank is approximately 67 litres).
Emission control system

climatic conditions.
Passenger air bag disarmed
warning light *
If the warning light remains on, this in-
dicates that the passenger air bag has
been disarmed intentionally.
If it comes on continuously above
6 mph (10 km/h), it indicates an ABS
fault.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) warning light
* According to country.
The warning light is repeat-

screen.
Coolant temperature indicator
When the needle is in zone A , the
temperature is correct.
When the needle is in zone B , the
temperature is too high.
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on (linked with the STOP
warning light), stop immediately.
Wait for the engine to cool down be-
fore topping up the level, if necessary.
As the cooling circuit is pressurised, in
order to prevent 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,
if necessary.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
