INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
28
Handbrake, low brake fluid level and fault inElectronic Brake ForceDistribution systemwarning light
Linked with the central STOP warning light. Indicates either:
Ð that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
Ð an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains lit even with the handbrake released),
Ð a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system if lit simultane-
ously with the ABS warning light.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A permantly lit warning light or one that flashes, with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating fault inthe relevant unit. Some warninglights may be accompanied by anaudible signal and a message onthe multifunction screen. Do notignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possi-
ble. If the Central STOP warninglight comes on when you are dri-ving, stop immediately where it issafe to do so.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light This comes on for 3 seconds
each time the ignition is switched on. If the warning light remains on or comes on above 12 km/h, this indi-
cates an ABS malfunction.
However, the vehicle retains conven- tional servo-assisted braking. Lighting of this warning light is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage "ABS fault" on the multi-
function display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked with the central STOP
warning light.
Stop immediately.This warning light indicates either:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
Ð oil temperature which is too high. Switching on of the warning light is accompanied by an audible signal.
To lower the oil temperature, reduceyour speed.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low level warninglight
Linked with the central STOP warning light.
Stop immediately.Allow the engine to cool before top- ping up. The cooling system is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to pre-
vent the risk of scalding , turn the
cap twice to allow the pressure to drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central STOP warning light Linked with the warning
light for the "engine oil pressure", the "coolant temperature and low levelgauge", the "handbrake", the "brakefluid low level" and ''electronic brakingsystem fault''. Stop immediately if the light is flashing with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

YOUR 206 CC IN DETAIL59
3. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side win- dows (demisting/de-icing).
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-screen and the side windows:
Ð place the temperature and air flow controls to maximum,
Ð close the central vents,
Ð place the outside air intake control to the left, in the "Outside air" posi- tion,
Ð operate the air conditioning
Windscreen, side windowsand footwells. Footwells.
These settings are recommended for cold climates.
Central and side vents.
This setting is recommended for hotclimates.
5. Air intake control
Outside air intake.
This is the normal operating position.
Recirculation of interior air.
This position prevents the entry ofunpleasant odours or fumes from theoutside. Used simultaneously with the air con- ditioning enables both the heating andcooling performance to be improved. Used without air conditioning, recir- culation may result in misting thewindows. As soon as possible, place the control in the outside air position. Important precaution Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice amonth, to keep it in perfect working
order. If the system does not produce cold
air, do not use it and contact your
PEUGEOT dealer.
4. Air flow adjustment
From position 1to position 4.
Turn the knob to obtain a suf-ficient flow of air to ensureyour comfort. 6. De-misting the rear screen and
the mirrors
With the engine running, press-ing the button de-mists the rear screen and the mirrors.
It switches off automatically afterapproximately twelve minutes. Press again to resume de-misting for twelve minutes. It is possible to stop the de-misting operation by pressing the button againbefore the end of the twelve minutes. Note: this function is disarmed when
the roof is stored in the boot.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION95
CHECKING LEVELS Engine oil Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes
; the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litre per600 miles (1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the engine cold..
There are two levelmarks on the dipstick: A= maximum.
B = minimum. Viscosity grade selectionThe oil selected must always meet the manufacturer's requirements. Oil filter Change the cartridge regularly in accordance with the recommenda-tions of the servicing schedule. Used oil
Avoid any prolonged contact of used oil with the skin. Do not discard used oil down drains or onto the ground.
To maintain the reliability of the engines and emission control sys-tems, the use of additives in the oil isprohibited. Brake fluid reservoir
Ð The level must always be above the
DANGER mark on the tank.
Ð In the event of a significant drop in the level, contact a PEUGEOT deal-
er immediately. Fluid change
Ð Always to be carried out at the inter-
vals given in the manufacturer's ser- vicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standards.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the manu-
facturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant
temperature is controlled by the fan.This may operate with the ignition key
removed. Therefore, as the coolingcircuit is pressurised, wait at least an
hour after switching off the enginebefore carrying out any work.
In the event of a breakdown and to
avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressure drop.When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maximum mark A.
Ð Instrument dial gauge.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress andits driver must be particularly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axleand the nose weight approaches themaximum permitted 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. In all cases, 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 the recommended pres-sures. Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
