FUEL GAUGE 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 needle
enters the red zone:

Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.

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.
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 qualifi ed
workshop.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 6.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of
chapter 6. The fuel level is tested each time the
key is turned to the "running" position.

Towing a trailer



Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.


Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle (see the
"Identifi cation markings" section of
chapter 8) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.


OTHER ACCESSORIES

These accessories and parts, having been
tested and approved for reliability and
safety, are all adapted to your vehicle. A
wide range of recommended accessories
and genuine parts is available.

Range of trade equipment
The parts department publishes an
accessory catalogue offering various
equipment and fi ttings, such as:
Load retainers (all models).
Loading roller.
Towbar, towbar harness: trailer towbar
which should preferably be fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Separation partitions and grilles,
smooth, non-slip wooden protective
fl oor.
Protective grilles.


Side wind

Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/ESP

The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors

The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Another range is also available,
structured around comfort, leisure and
maintenance:

caught under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.

Regardless of the audio and telematic
equipment offered on the market,
the technical constraints associated
with the fi tting of equipment of these
families of products mean that the
special features of the equipment and
its compatibility with the capacities of
the your vehicle's standard equipment
must be taken into account. Please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
more information before fi tting such
equipment.

Installation of radiocommunication
transmitters
Before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
an external aerial on your vehicle, you
are advised to contact a representative
of the PEUGEOT marque.
The PEUGEOT dealer network will
inform you of the specifi cations
(frequency band, maximum output
power, aerial position, specifi c
installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fi tted, in
accordance with the Motor Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/CE).

The fi tting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not
recommended by Automobiles
PEUGEOT may result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system.
Please note this specifi c warning. You
are advised to contact a representative
of the Marque to be shown the range
of recommended equipment and
accessories.
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold or operated, it is
compulsory to have a high visibility
safety jacket, warning triangle and
replacement bulbs available in the
vehicle.

"Active Fleet Data" Telematic unit
Connected directly to the heart of
the vehicle ("Full CAN" multiplexed
network), as part of a comprehensive
service, the telematic unit allows the
sending in real time of information
such as:


- distance travelled,


- distance remaining before the next
service,

- warnings and faults (oil level,
coolant level, oil temperature,
coolant temperature, etc...).
This enables Fleet managers
to optimise the monitoring and
management of their business
vehicles.
Availability according to country;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for more
information.

Cooling system

Only use the fl uid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.

Power steering fluid level

The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. Unscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the fi lter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least fi ve
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffi c conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission fi lter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Topping up
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fl uid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.



Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the PEUGEOT range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fi tted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.


Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)

Topping up
This additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop without delay.



Waste products

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fl uid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fl uid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at PEUGEOT dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site. The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission fi lter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffi c jams, ...).
