INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS33
Tyre under-inflation warning light Display of this warning light is acompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Tyre(s) pressure low'on the
multi-function display.Have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Low coolant level warning light Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Cooling circuit level low'on
the multi-function display .
Stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool before topping up.
The cooling system is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to prevent the 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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Seat belt not fastened warning light Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Seat belt not fastened' on the
multi-function display.With the engine running, the warning light comes on when the driver's seat belt is unfastened. Electronic immobiliser warning light Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Electronic theft protection
faulty' on the multi-function display.
It indicates a malfunction of the electronic immobiliser system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.In cases where the coolant tem- perature warning light comes on(linked to the STOPwarning light),
you must stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool
down.
If necessary, top up the level.Because the cooling system is pres- surised, to prevent the risk of scald-ing, turn the cap two turns to allowthe pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil level and temperature When the ignition is switched on, this gauge indicates the engine oil levelfor approximately 20 seconds, then itindicates the engine oil temperature. Engine oil level The reading is valid only if the vehi- cle is on level ground, and the
engine has been switched off for 10minutes. With the ignition on, wait for the graduated sector to light up and theindicator needle to move. When the needle is in zone C, the oil
level is correct.When the needle is in zone D, the oil
level is incorrect.There is a risk of damage to the engine.
 Check the level with the dipstick.
You must top up the level withoutexceeding the maximum level onthe gauge.
Engine oil temperature When the needle is in zone E, the
temperature is correct.When the needle is in zone F, the
temperature is too high.Reduce your speed to lower the temperature.
Service indicator and total distance recorder When the ignition is switched on, this indicates servicing information for afew seconds, then the total and tripdistances. Service functionSee the 'Service indicator' section.
Total distance recorder function The total distance is displayed on the left side of the screen and the tripdistance on the right side.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars which have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest loads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.As the fan is electronically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum load up a steep slope in high tem-peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows theengine power to be recovered, andtherefore the towing speed to be sig-nificantly increased (approximately12mph [20 km/h] more). If the coolant temperature warning light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon aspossible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pres-sure. Brakes: towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Drive at a moderate speed, change down early and brake
gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed. Lighting Manual adjustmentAdjust your headlamps so as not to dazzle other road users (see sectionon ''Manual adjustment of head-lamps''). Check the electrical sig-
nalling of the trailer. Automatic beam correction For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this system automatically corrects theheight of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is thenassured of having optimum lightingand not causing a nuisance to otherroad users. In cases of malfunction, the driver is alerted by means of the warning lighton the instrument panel. In this situation the system adjusts your headlamps to the low position.
