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 level 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 fault' on the
multi-function 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 fault' 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 ' Battery charge fault' on the multi-function display.

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 tempe- rature warning light comes on (lin-
ked to the STOP warning 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 scal-ding, 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 vehicle is on level ground, and the
engine has been switched off for 10minutes. With the ignition on, wait for the gra- duated sector to light up and the indi-cator 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.

CHECKING THE LEVELS Oil level Check the level regularly and top up between changes. Maximumconsumption is 0.5 l per 600 miles(1000 km). Carry out this check with the vehicle level, engine cold, usingthe oil level gauge on the instru-ment panel or the dipstick.
Dipstick There are two markson the dipstick : A= maximum
Never fill past this mark. B = minimum
To maintain the reliabi- lity of engines andemission control sys-tems, the use of addi-tives in engine oil isprohibited.
Oil change According to the information given
in the 'PEUGEOT SERVICINGGUIDE'.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 141
Viscosity selection In all cases, the oil selected must meet the manufacturer'srequirements. 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 sche- dule,
- use fluids recommended by the manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4standards.
WARNING: brake and clutch fluid is
harmful to health and very corrosive. Used oil Prevent used oil from coming into pro- longed contact with the skin. Do not dispose of used oil, brake and clutch fluid or coolant into drains oronto the ground. Power steering reservoir
 Open the reservoir, with the engi-ne cold at ambient temperature.The level should always be abovethe MINI mark and close to theMAXI mark.
Windscreen and headlamp wash level For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we advise that you use pro-ducts recommended by PEUGEOT(reservoir capacity 4 litres or 6.5 litres with headlamp wash).

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 tempe-ratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows theengine power to be recovered, andtherefore the towing capacity to beincreased. 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 (label on the cen- tral door pillar on the driver's side)and of the trailer towed, observingthe recommended pressure. Brakes: towing increases the bra-
king 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. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer. Automatic headlamp adjustment (Automatic beam correction) For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this system automatically corrects theheight of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver isthen assured of having optimum ligh-ting and not causing a nuisance toother road users. In cases of malfunction, the driver is alerted by means of the warning lighton the instrument panel and the sys-tem adjusts your headlamps to thelow position.
