If it comes on when the engine is run-ning, it indicates a malfunction in theinjection, ignition or emission control
system. There is a risk of damage to
your catalytic converter.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer rapidly.
Low fuel level warning light When the warning light
first comes on, you have enough fuel to drive at least 35 miles (50 km) (thetank capacity is approximately 47 litres(10.3 gallons)).
Coolant temperature indicator light
- When the needle is in zone A, the
temperature is correct.
- When the needle is in zone B, the
temperature is too high. The central
STOP warning light flashes.
You must stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to specification.
Passenger air bag disarming indicatorlight*
Switching on of this indicator light isaccompanied by an audible signal andthe message ''Passenger air bag
disarmed'' on the multifunction display. If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the indicator light switches on andremains on. In all cases, if the warning light
flashes, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE
110
Towing a trailer, caravan, boat etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle.The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the tow- ing vehicle to more significant stressand its driver must be particularlycareful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.The maximum towing load must bereduced by 10% for every1000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loadsDistribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close aspossible to the axle and the noseweight approaches the maximum per-mitted without exceeding it. Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and theoutside temperature. Always pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
Tyres Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing therecommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking dis- tance. Lights Adjust your headlamps so that they do not dazzle other road users.Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sensi- tivity to side wind.
