Fuel warning lamp
In certain driving conditions and de-
pending on the engine, the distance
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
warning lamp
This should switch off a few seconds
after the engine is switched on.
When the engine is running, if the
w a r n i n g l a m p fl a s h e s o r c o m e s o n
continuously, this indicates an emis-
sion control system malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible. Diesel engine pre-heat
warning lamp
Wait for the warning lamp to switch off
before starting. The illumination period
is determined by the ambient condi-
tions.
Passenger's airbag
deactivated warning lamp *
If the warning lamp remains on, this
indicates that the passenger's airbag
has been deactivated 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 lamp
* According to country.
The warning lamp is repea-
ted on the instrument panel
screen. Coolant temperature gauge
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
lamp comes on (linked with the STOP
warning lamp), stop as soon as it is
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,
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level, if
necessary.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
These are normal maintenance opera-
tions which keep your vehicle in good
working order. Obtan advice from the
PEUGEOT dealer network or from the

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, BOAT, CARAVAN, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harness-
es which have been tested and ap-
proved from the design stage of your
v e h i c l e a n d t h a t y o u e n t r u s t t h e fi t t i n g
of the towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.

ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a n
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving,..), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the ig-
nition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power and
increases towing capacity.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver's side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradu-
ally.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Automatic adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system automatical-
ly corrects the height of the beam of
xenon bulbs in relation to the vehicle
load after approximately 2 minutes.
The driver is then assured of having
optimum lighting.
