2002 PEUGEOT 206 coolant temperature

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPROVED LUBRICANTS The oils which appear in the table opposite are suitable for most purposes. The diagram opposite states the optimum range of viscosity dependingon the temperatures at which the oilsare to be used. It is also possible to use "superior quality" synthetic oils. In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ quality (for petrol engines), or CD/CF(for diesel engines) may be used byfollowing the "Arduous Conditions"servicing schedule which specifiesshorter intervals. Do not hesitate to ask for advice from
a PEUGEOT dealer to maintain driving pleasure and to minimise themaintenance cost of your vehicle. For countries outside Europe, please
contact a local PEUGEOT dealer.

Handbrake, low brake fluid and ElectronicBrake Force Distributionsystem fault warninglight
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight. This indicates one of the following:
Ð that the handbrake is applied or not fully released,
Ð an excessive drop in brake fluid level (if the warning light remains on even when the handbrake isreleased).
Ð a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution system, if lit at
the same time as the ABS warninglight.
You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A permanently lit warning light or one flashing, with the engine run-ning, indicates an operating faultof the unit concerned. The illumi-nation of certain warning lightsmay be accompanied by anaudible signal and a message on
the multi-function display. Do notignore this warning: consult aPEUGEOT dealer as soon as pos-sible.
If the central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving,
stop your vehicle immediately,where it is safe to do so.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warninglight
If this warning light is permanentlyon, it indicates a malfunction of theABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted bra-king.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Coolant temperature and low coolant level warninglight
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.You must stop.
Wait for the engine to cool before top-ping up the level. The cooling circuit is pressurised.In the event of breakdown and to prevent any risk of burns , unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Central (STOP) warning light Linked to the "engine
oil pressure", "coolant temperature and low coolant level", "handbrake","low brake fluid level" and "electronicbrake force distribution system fault"warning lights.You must stop if the light flasheswith the engine running.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure and temperaturewarning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warninglight.
You must stop.
This warning light indicates one ofthe following:
Ð insufficient oil pressure,
Ð a lack of oil in the lubrication cir- cuit. Top up the level.
Ð an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is acompa-
nied by an audible signal. To lowerthe oil temperature, reduce yourspeed.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS31
Seat belt not fastened warning light*
When the ignition is switched on, thisindicator light comes on if the driverhas not fastened his seat belt. Air bag warning light
The light will come on for a few secondswhen the ignition is switched on. With the engine running, illumination of this warning light is accompaniedby an audible signal and a messageon the multi-function display indica-ting a fault in the air bags.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery charge warning light
This indicates one of the following:
Ð faulty operation of the charging cir- cuit,
Ð slack battery or starter terminals,
Ð a cut or slack alternator belt,
Ð an alternator failure.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine diagnostics warning light
This comes on each time the ignitionis switched on. If it comes on with the engine run- ning, this indicates incorrect opera-tion of the injection, ignition or emis-
sion control system. There is a risk ofdamage to the catalytic converter(petrol engine only).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to destination.
Water in diesel filter warning light*
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible. There is a risk of damage to the injection system.

Always consult a PEUGEOT dealer if the warning light flashes. Low fuel level warning light
When this light first comes on, youhave enough fuel to drive at least 30miles (50 km). The tank capacity is approximately 50 litres.
Diesel engine pre-heatwarning light
Wait until the warning light goes outbefore starting the engine. If the temperature is high enough, the warning light comes on for less
than one second. You can start theengine without waiting.
Coolant temperature indicator

CHECKING LEVELS Engine oil Oil level check Carry out this check regularly and top up between oil changes ; the
maximum consumption is 0.5 litreper 600 miles (1000 km). The check must be carried out with the vehicle level and the enginecold.
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
dealer immediately. Fluid change
Ð Always to be carried out at the
intervals given in the manufactu- rer's servicing schedule.
Ð Use fluids approved by the manu- facturer which comply with DOT4standards.
Coolant reservoir Use a coolant approved by the
manufacturer. When the engine is warm, the coolant temperature is controlled by
the fan. This may operate with the
ignition key removed. Therefore, asthe cooling circuit is pressurised,wait at least an hour after switching
off the engine before carrying outany work. In the event of a breakdown and to avoid any risk of burns, unscrew thecap two turns to let the pressuredrop. When the pressure has drop-ped, remove the cap and top up thelevel.
Oil change: in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Ð Dipstick: never exceed the maxi- mum 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.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by10% and so on for every 1000metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads
: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the hea- viest items are as close as possibleto the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling : towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant. As the fan is electricallycontrolled, its cooling capacity is notdependent on the 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 andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible.
Tyres
: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking : towing increases the bra-
king distance.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 sensitivity to side wind.
