FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately 80 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being used, the warning lamp comes on continuously.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned before the red
zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:

- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time, up to approximately
10 minutes,
- wait for the engine to cool down in order to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6. What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle. Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
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 (nitrous oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres. The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before a
long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres adversely
affects road holding, extends braking
distances and causes premature tyre
wear, particularly under arduous conditions
(vehicle loaded, high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label
(see the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked when
the tyres cold (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speed). Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to
the values indicated on the label.

The alert is given by the fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
Under-inflation alert
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
- Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering movements or harsh brake applications.
- Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
- In the event of a puncture, use the temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment),
or
- if you have a compressor, the one in the temporary puncture repair kit for
example, check the four tyre pressures
when cold,
or
- if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed. The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
The fl ashing and then fi xed
illumination of the under-infl ation
warning lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment, the display
of a message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel spare
wheel).
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

When the display shows "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
After this operation, if you wish to disconnect
the battery, lock the vehicle and wait for at
least five minutes, otherwise the zero re-set
will not be registered.
Zero re-set
Your PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop carries out this operation after
each service.
However, if you carry out the service
yourself, the re-set procedure is as follows:
- switch off the ignition,
- press and hold the trip recorder reset button,
- switch on the ignition.
The display begins a countdown.
Engine oil level indicator
Depending on your vehicle's engine, when
the ignition is switched on, the engine oil
level is indicated for a few seconds, after the
service information.
Oil level correct
Low oil level
Flashing of "OIL" , linked
with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen, indicates a low oil level which could
damage the engine.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up.
Oil level gauge fault
Flashing of "OIL--"
indicates a malfunction
of the engine oil level
indicator. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30 minutes. Dipstick
