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.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on
(linked with the STOP warn-
ing light), stop immediately.
Wait for the engine to cool
down before topping up the level, if
necessary.
As the cooling circuit is pres-
surised, in order to prevent
any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap and top up the level with
coolant, if necessary.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
This indicates an automatic
gearbox programme fault.

SERVICE INDICATOR
This is a visual reminder of when the
next service is due. This service is to
be carried out according to the manu-
facturer’s servicing schedule.
Once an engine oil level indication has
been displayed, the display indicates
the total and trip distances.
If the service is overdue , each time
the ignition is switched on and for
5 seconds, the distance and the span-
n e r fl a s h .
Example: when the ignition is switched
on and for 5 seconds, the display in-
dicates that the service is overdue by
300 miles/km. The service should be
carried out very shortly.
Once the servicing and oil level infor-
mation has been displayed, the total
distance recorder resumes normal op-
eration and the spanner remains lit.
The point at which a service is due is
calculated using two parameters:
- the total distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the user’s driving habits.
Engine oil temperature indicator
When the ignition is switched on or
while the vehicle is moving, this indi-
cates the engine oil temperature.
When the needle is in zone C , the
temperature is correct.
When the needle is in zone D , the
temperature is too high.
Reduce your speed to lower the tem-
perature. Operation
As soon as the ignition is switched on
and for 5 seconds, the spanner sym-
bolising the service operations is lit.
The trip recorder display shows the
d i s t a n c e r e m a i n i n g ( i n r o u n d fi g u r e s )
before the next service.
Example: when switching on the ig-
nition and for 5 seconds, the display
shows that 900 miles/km remain be-
fore the next service is due.
