INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS33
Tyre underinflation warning light
Display of this warning light is acompanied by an audible si
gnal and the message 'Tyre(s) pressure low' on the
multifunction display.
Have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
Low coolant level warning light
Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible si gnal and the message 'Cooling circuit level low' on
the multifunction display .
Stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool before topping up.
The cooling system is pressurised.
In the event of breakdown and to prevent the 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.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Seat belt not fastened warning light
Display of this warning light is accompanied by an audible si gnal and the message 'Seat belt not fastened' on the
multifunction display.
With the engine running, the warning light comes on when the driver's seat belt is unfastened.
Electronic immobiliser warning light

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

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.
In cases where the coolant tem
perature warning light comes on
(linked to the STOPwarning light),
you must stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool
down.
If necessary, top up the level.
Because the cooling system is pres
surised, to prevent the risk of scald
ing, turn the cap two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.Engine oil level and
temperature
When the ignition is switched on, this
gauge indicates the engine oil level
for approximately 20 seconds, then it
indicates the engine oil temperature.
Engine oil level
The reading is valid only if the vehi
cle is on level ground, and the
engine has been switched off for 10
minutes.
With the ignition on, wait for the
graduated sector to light up and the
indicator needle to move.
When the needle is in zone C, the oil
level is correct.
When the needle is in zone D, the oil
level is incorrect.
There is a risk of damage to the
engine.
 Check the level with the dipstick.
You must top up the level without
exceeding the maximum level on
the gauge.
Engine oil temperature
When the needle is in zone E, the
temperature is correct.
When the needle is in zone F, the
temperature is too high.
Reduce your speed to lower the
temperature.
Service indicator and total
distance recorder
When the ignition is switched on, this
indicates servicing information for a
few seconds, then the total and trip
distances.
Service function
See the 'Service indicator' section.
Total distance recorder function
The total distance is displayed on the
left side of the screen and the trip
distance on the right side.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
154
T
OWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOTtow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOTdealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electronically con
trolled, 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. In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres
sure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
In cases of malfunction, the driver is
alerted by means of the warning light
on the instrument panel.
In this situation the system adjusts
your headlamps to the low position.
