INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS31
Coolant temperature warning light This symbol is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Engine temperature too high' on the multi-function display.
It is linked to the STOPwarning light. Stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool.
If necessary, top up the level.
With the engine running and the vehicle moving The instrument panel display temporarily shows:
Ð lights indicating warnings, when these occur,Ð vehicle function status indicator lights, when a change occurs.Certain warning lights may be accompanied by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-function display. List of warning symbols MANUAL CHECK (vehicle autotest)
 Press the "CHECK" button on the
instrument panel.
With the ignition key in the acces-sories position, with the ignitionswitched on, with the engine runningor when the vehicle is moving, thisfunction informs you at all times ofthe following: Ð any current warnings,
Ð the status of functions which it is possible to switch on or off (wind- screen wipers, automatic switch-ing on of lights, cruise control, dis-arming of passenger air bag, etc.).
The corresponding warning lightsare displayed in succession on theinstrument panel screen. If a warning or a change of status occurs during the CHECKmode, the
corresponding indicator lights will bedisplayed at the end of this mode.
CHECK mode entry indi-cator light (vehicleautotest) This comes on when you press the 'CHECK' button.
CHECK mode exit indica-tor light (vehicle autotest) This comes on at the end of the CHECK mode.
Engine oil pressure warning light This symbol is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Insufficient engine oil pressure' or 'Engine oil level low' on the
multi-function display.
It is linked to the STOPwarning light.
Stop immediately if this comes on when the engine is running.
If there is a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit, top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Puncture warning light This symbol comes on accompanied by an audible signal and the mes- sage 'Punctured tyre(s) detected' on the multi-function display.
It is linked to the STOPwarning light. Stop immediately.
Change the damaged wheel.
Have it repaired by a PEUGEOT dealer.

STOP warning light This comes on after the engine oil pressure, coolant temperature orpuncture warning lights, to which it is linked.
Stop immediately. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake fluid level and brake force distribution fault warning light This is linked to the light on the instrument panel.Display of this warning light accompaned by an audible signal and the message 'Brake fluid low'indicates an
excessive drop in the brake fluid level.
Display of this warning light, accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Braking system faulty' on the multi-func-
tion display indicates a malfunction of the brake force distribution system.Stop immediately in both cases. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Dynamic stability control (ESP/ASR) warning light Display of this warning light, accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'ESP/ASR system faulty'on the
multi-function display indicates a system malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Handbrake warning light Display of this warning light, accompanied by an audible signal (vehicle moving) and the message 'Handbrake on'
on the multi-function display, indicates that the handbrake is applied or has not been released correctly. Battery charge warning light This comes on each time the ignition key is in the accessories position (1st notch).Display of this warning light when the engine is running is accompanied by an audible signal and the message 'Bat-
tery charge fault' on the multi-function display.
This can indicate:Ð faulty operation of the charging circuit,
Ð loose battery or starter terminals,Ð a cut or slack alternator belt,Ð an alternator fault.
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.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 allowthe 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 levelfor approximately 20 seconds, then itindicates 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 10minutes. With the ignition on, wait for the graduated sector to light up and theindicator 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 withoutexceeding the maximum level onthe 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 afew seconds, then the total and tripdistances. Service functionSee the 'Service indicator' section.
Total distance recorder function The total distance is displayed on the left side of the screen and the tripdistance on the right side.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars which have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest loads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.As the fan is electronically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant 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 theengine power to be recovered, andtherefore the towing speed to be sig-nificantly increased (approximately12mph [20 km/h] more). If the coolant temperature warning light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon aspossible.
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 adjustmentAdjust your headlamps so as not to dazzle other road users (see sectionon ''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 theheight of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is thenassured of having optimum lightingand not causing a nuisance to otherroad users. In cases of malfunction, the driver is alerted by means of the warning lighton the instrument panel. In this situation the system adjusts your headlamps to the low position.
