If it comes on continuously above 6 mph
(10 km/h), it indicates an ABS fault.

When the needle is in zone B , the
temperature is too high.
If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on (linked with the STOP

safe to do so.
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,

move the cap and top up the level, if
necessary.

CHECKS
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements
replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is essential that the particle emission
fi lter is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note : following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice emissions of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not have any effect on the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the cooling fan may
operate after the vehicle has stopped,
even when the engine is cold. Where the parking brake trav-
el is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance of
the system, the parking brake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

For any information relating to check-
ing disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
