INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of
the changes in the temperature of the
engine coolant while driving.
With the engine running, when the
needle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is
correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is
t o o h i g h ; t h e m a x t e m p e r a t u r e
warning light 1 and the central
STOP warning light come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. After driving for a few minutes, the tem-
perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.
To top up the level:
wait for the engine to cool,
unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop,
when the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap,
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.
Manual Check
System which informs the driver of the
warnings present and of the activated
or deactivated status of the functions.
With the engine running, to start a
manual check, press the "CHECK/000"
button on the instrument panel.
If no "major" faults have been detected,
"CHECK OK" appears on the large instru-
ment panel display.
If a "minor" fault has been detected, the
warning lights concerned then "CHECK
OK" appear on the large instrument
panel display. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If a "major" fault has been detected, only
the warning lights concerned appear on
the large instrument panel display. Have it
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle’s
passenger compartment. Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
m i x i n g t h e a i r o f t h e v a r i o u s c i r c u i t s . The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
T h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l e n a b l e s y o u t o i n -
crease or reduce the speed of the ven-
tilation blower.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
p a r t m e n t i s fi l t e r e d a n d o r i g i n a t e s e i t h e r
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode. Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,
- t h e a i r fl o w ,
- the air distribution,
- the de-icing and demisting,
- the manual or automatic air condi- tioning controls.
Air diffusion
1. Windscreen de-icing or demisting
vents.
2. Front side window de-icing or
demisting vents.
3. Side adjustable and closing vents.
4. Central adjustable and closing
vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6. Adjustable and closing vents for the
rear passengers.
7. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.

corresponding circuit checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the
ignition is switched on using the oil level
indicator on the instrument panel, or us-
ing the dipstick.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
T h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d o n a l o n g
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
If the warning light and the
STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close

w e i g h t a p p r o a c h e s t h e m a x i m u m

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 0 0 0 m e t r e s , t h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i fi c a n t s t r e s s a n d i t s
driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
y o u r v e h i c l e a n d t h a t t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
I f t h e t r a i l e r i s n o t fi t t e d b y a

of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
