- F (Full): the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty): the reserve is now being
used, the warning light comes on
continuously.

on is approximately 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned between C
(Cold) and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. - wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up if
necessary. Follow this advice:
the cooling system is pressurised. In order to avoid any risk of scalding,
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7.

certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.

EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control
system by the lighting of this specifi c
warning light on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic convert er.

Parking assistance
AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
If fitted on your vehicle, the system consists
of four proximity sensors, installed in the
rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
However, objects the size or thickness of
which are detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre will no longer be detected at the
end of the manoeuvre: blind spots between
and below the sensors. Examples: stake,
roadworks cone or pavement post. Engage reverse gear
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
The system cannot, in any circumstances, take
the place of the vigilance and responsibility of
the driver.
