RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
APPROVED LUBRICANTS
The oils which appear in the table
opposite are suitable for most pur
poses.
The diagram opposite states the
optimum range of viscosity depend
ing on the temperatures at which the
oils are to be used.
It is also possible to use "superior
quality" synthetic oils.
In the absence of semisynthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual
ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CF
quality (for diesel engines) may be
used by following the "Arduous
Conditions" servicing schedule,
which specifies shorter intervals.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer to maintain dri
ving pleasure and to minimise the
maintenance cost of your vehicle.
For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Low coolant level warning light
Linked to the central STOPwarning light.
This comes on for approximately 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.
This warning light is accompanied by an audible signal and the message "Top up
coolant " on the multifunction display.
Stop immediately. Central STOP warning light
This light comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It is linked to the "engine oil pressure", ''oil temperature''
, ''coolant
level low'', ''brake fluid level'', "electronic brake force dist ribution
fault' and ''coolant temperature gauge'' warning lights.
The STOP warning light flashes if one of the doors or the boot is o pen. A diagram appears
on the multifunction display for a few seconds, accompanied by an audible signal.
In this case, it is not essential to stop if this is a delib erate action on the part of
the driver (e.g. transportation of long objects).
Stop immediately if it comes on permanently with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked to the central STOPwarning light.
If it comes on with the engine running, it is accompanied b y an audible
signal and the message ''Oil pressure low''or ''Top up engine oil'' on
the multifunction display.
Stop immediately.
If there is a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit, top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A permanently lit warning light or one that flashes with the engine running,
indicates an operating fault in the relevant unit. Some war ning lights may
be linked to buzzers and a message on the multifunction di splay. Do not
ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as p ossible.
If the Central STOP warning light comes on when you are d riving, stop
immediately where it is safe to do so. Warning:
Allow the engine to cool
before topping up.
The cooling system is pressurised.
To prevent the risk of scalding,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake and low brake
fluid level warning light
Linked to the central STOP
warning light.
This comes on each time the ignition is
switched on.
Illumination of this light is accompa
nied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction display
indicating the cause of the warning: ''Handbrake on'', if the handbrake
is applied or has not been released
correctly,
''Low brake fluid level'' if there is
an excessive drop in the brake fluid
(if the light remains on even with the
handbrake released),
''Brake system problem'' is dis
played simultaneously with the ABS
light, indicating a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

nied by an audible signal and the message "Air bag fault"on the multi
function display indicating:
a fault in the front air bags,
or
a fault in the side air bags or curtain air bags.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Coolant temperature indicator
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, accom
panied by an audible signal and the
message "Coolant temp. high" on
the multi–function display.
You must stop immediately.
Warning : wait for the engine to cool
before topping up the level.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. The maxi
mum consumption is 0.5 l per
600 miles.
Check the level with the vehicle
level, engine cold, using the oil
level gauge on the instrument
panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
WARNING: avoid used oil from com
ing into prolonged contact with the
skin.Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.
Brake fluid level:
The level must always be between the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
If the level drops substantially, con tact a PEUGEOT dealer immedi
ately.
Fluid change:
must be carried out according to the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
use fluids approved by the manu facturer, which fulfil DOT4 stan
dards.
WARNING: brake fluid is harmful to
health and very corrosive. Avoid all
contact with the skin.
Cooling system
Use the fluid approved by the manu
facturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem
perature 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 to the first notch to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.
Used oil
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant into drains or into the
ground
Power steering reservoir Open the reservoir, with the
engine at ambient temperature.
The level should always be
above the MIN. mark and close to
the MAX. mark.
Windscreen wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 3.5 litres).

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit
ted 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 and its driver must be particu
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10%
and so on for every 1000 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 axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
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
on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the tow
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking distance.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen
sitivity to side wind.
