Instruments and controls
Coolant temperature gauge
With the hybrid system active:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B, the temperature is too high; the central STOP
warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the instrument panel screen.You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
After drivin
g for a few minutes, the temperatureand pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
) wait for the engine to cool, )
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
) when the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,) top up the level to the "MA X" mark.


On switching on the ignition or when driving, it
indicates the engine oil temperature.
With the needle in zone C
, the temperature is correct.
With the needle in zone D , the temperature is
too high.
Slow down to lower the oil temperature.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour a
fter switching off theengine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up t
he level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid levelis indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can
operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after the vehicle has been switched off, even if the engine is cold.
Top up the reser voir when you next stop the
vehicle.
