INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
40
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.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top
up between changes. Maximum
consumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles
(1000 km).
Carry out this check with the
vehicle level, engine cold, using
the oil level gauge on the instru
ment panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two marks
on the dipstick:
A= maximum
Never fill past this
mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi
lity of engines and
emission control sys
tems, the use of addi
tives in engine oil is
prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
'PEUGEOT SERVICING'.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 137
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require
ments.
Brake and clutch fluid level:
– The level must always be between
the DANGER and MAXIMUM
marks in the reservoir.
– If the level drops substantially, contact a PEUGEOT dealer imme
diately.
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 and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive.
Used oil
Prevent used oil from coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake and
clutch fluid or coolant into drains or
onto the ground. Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engi
ne cold. The level should always
be above the MINI mark and close
to the MAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp
wash reservoir
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we recommend that you use
products approved by PEUGEOT
(reservoir capacity 4 litres or 6.5
litres with headlamp wash).
