Seat belt not fastened warning light*
When the ignition is switchedon, this indicator light comes on
if the driver has not fastened his seat belt. Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the warning light flashes for two minutes accompa-nied by an audible signal which
becomes progressively louder. Oncethe two minutes have elapsed, thewarning light remains on until the driverfastens his seat belt.
Front and side airbags warning light
The light will come on for a few sec-onds when the ignition is switched on. With the engine running, illumination of this warning light indicates a faultin the air bags.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery charge warning light
This indicates one of the following:
Ð faulty operation of the charging circuit,
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 running, this indicates incorrectoperation of the injection, ignition or
emission control system. There is arisk of damage to the catalyticconverter (petrol engine only).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to destination.
Water in diesel filter indicator*
There is a risk of damage to theinjection system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Passenger air bag disarmedwarning light*
If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the warning light comes on when the ignitionis switched on and it remains on.
Always consult a PEUGEOT dealerif the warning light flashes. Low fuel levelwarning light
When this light first comes on, you haveenough fuel to drive
approximately
30 miles (50 km) . (The tank capacity is
approximately 55 litres for petrol engines
and 60 litres for Diesel engines.)
Diesel engine pre-heatwarning light
Wait until the warning light goes out before 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
Ð needle in zone (A), the tempera-
ture is correct,
Ð needle in zone (B), the tempera-
ture is too high. The central STOP
warning light flashes.
You must stop.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION103

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but 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 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres ofaltitude.Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approachesthe maximum permitted withoutexceeding it. Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically 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. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 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 recommendedpressures. Braking: Towing increases the braking
distance. Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer. Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
