Low fuel level


fi xed with the
needle in the
red zone,
accompanied by
an audible signal
and a message. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 5 litres
of
fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use the
fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added, this warning lamp
will come on every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message.
The audible signal and message are repeated with
increasing frequency as the fuel level drops towards "0"
.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 55 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as this
could damage the emission control and injection systems.

a message. Minor faults have occurred for
which there is no specifi c warning
lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message displayed in the
screen, such as:


- doors, boot or bonnet open,

- low engine oil level,

- low screenwash/headlamp wash reservoir level,

- remote control battery fl at,

- low tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission fi lter on Diesel
vehicles (see "Checks" - "Checking levels / Particle
emissions fi lter" section).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS












COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

With the engine running, when the needle is:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B
, the temperature is too high; the maximum temperature
warning lamp and the central STOP
warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message in the
screen.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.

Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
















ENGINE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The vehicle must be on level ground and the engine must have
been off for more than 30 minutes for this level check to be
accurate. After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the
cooling system increase.
To top up the level:


)
wait for the engine to cool,

)
unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the pressure to drop,

)
when the pressure has dropped, remove the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

Before operating the spoiler, ensure that no one is in the proximity
of the moving parts to avoid any risk of injury.
Nevertheless, in the event of pinching, you must reverse the
movement of the spoiler. To do this, release the control button
then press it again to raise the spoiler.

MAINTENANCE


To maintain the spoiler, with the vehicle stationary, ignition on:


)
raise the spoiler to the maximum position B
by pressing the button
briefl y,

)
once the cleaning is complete, retract the spoiler: press and hold
the button until the end of the manoeuvre.
The keep this system in good working order, check the spoiler and its
housing periodically preventing the unwanted accumulation of leaves,
ice or snow.

OPERATING FAULT

If the control system fails, the indicator lamp in the control button
fl ashes, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen. As a safety precaution, the spoiler rises to the maximum
position, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.
If the problem persists and you wish to retract the spoiler:


)
stop where it is safe to do so,

)
switch off the ignition,

)
switch the ignition on again.
If the indicator lamp no longer fl ashes, the failure was temporary, the
system has resumed normal operation. To retract the spoiler, refer to
the paragraph "To exit from manual mode".
If the indicator lamp fl ashes again and the spoiler is still raised, the
system is still faulty.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a system operating fault (e.g. jamming of the spoiler), the
indicator lamp in the control button fl ashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. For safety reasons, do not exceed
a speed of 85 mph (140 km/h).
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Before washing the vehicle, always retract the spoiler into its
housing.
Keep the end of the high-pressure nozzle at least 1 metre from the
spoiler housing.

Never press on the spoiler to close the boot or push the vehicle as
this may damage it.
The installation of load-carrying accessories on the vehicle limits
the effectiveness of the spoiler.
Do not install load carrying accessories which are not
recommended by PEUGEOT.
To exit from manual mode:


)
press the button briefl y: the indicator lamp on the button goes off
(return to automatic mode).
At speeds below 6 mph (10 km/h), the spoiler stays in the open
position. It retracts automatically as soon as the vehicle exceeds
this speed threshold.

CHECKS









ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH PARTICLE
EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message that the particle emissions fi lter additive
level is too low.

Topping up

The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.









USED PRODUCTS

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.











COOLANT LEVEL


The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any 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.





The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.




Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.























SCREENWASH AND HEADLAMP
WASH FLUID

In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, the low
fl uid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.


Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.
