Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (Full):
the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning light comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
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. What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone, or if the warning light
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.
EMISSION CONTROL
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 speciic

switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service indicator comes on: the display
informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the "Manufacturer's"
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined in

degree of wear of the engine oil.
If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions
and consequently suffers engine oil
wear and if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment, you are warned by flashing of
the engine oil pressure warning
light and the displaying of a

each time the vehicle is started.

In this case, your vehicle must be
serviced as soon as possible.

the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), with at
least 4th gear engaged.

circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits nor can it replace the need
for vigilance and responsibility on the part
of driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.

under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
