system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Low fuel level fi xed with the
needle in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
5 litres
of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to use
the fuel reserve. Refuel as soon as possible to avoid running
out of fuel.
This warning lamp will come on every time
the ignition is switched on, until a suffi cient
addition of fuel is made.
Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres .
Never continue to drive until you run out
of fuel, as this could damage the emission
control and injection systems.

system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

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 nee-
dle is:
- in zone A , the temperature is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature is too
high; the max temperature warning
lamp 1 and the central STOP warn-
ing lamp come on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the multifunction screen.

You MUST stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
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
(circular line).
On petrol engines, the cooling of the
engine is managed electronically
to reduce fuel consumption. Con-
sequently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient condi-
tions and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal for
the coolant temperature to be slight-
ly higher in cold weather than in hot
weather (normal operation may lead
to a temperature of over 100 °).

CHECKING THE LEVELS Brake fluid level Used oil
Oil level


Check the level regularly
and top up between chang-
es. The maximum consump-
tion is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick. This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level.
The brake fl uid must be changed
according to the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the manu-
facturer, which fulfi l DOT4 standards.

Note : brake fl uid is harmful to health
and very corrosive. Avoid all contact
with the skin.
Cooling system
Dipstick
There are two marks on the
dipstick:

A = maximum
Never fi ll past this mark.

B = minimum
Power steering reservoir
Open the reservoir, with the engine at
ambient temperature. The level should
always be above the MIN. mark and
close to the MAX. mark.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the Warranty and Maintenance Record.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil used must meet the
manufacturer's requirements. Windscreen wash level
Avoid used oil coming into prolonged
contact with the skin. Empty the
used oil into the containers intended
for this purpose in the PEUGEOT
network (France) or take it to an au-
thorised waste disposal site.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fl uid or coolant into drains or onto
the ground.
This fl uid must always be at the
maximum level (circular line).
Use the fl uid recommended by
the manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is controlled by the
engine fan. As this fan can operate with
the ignition key removed and because
the cooling system is pressurised, wait
for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work.

For vehicles fi tted with a particle
emissions fi lter, the cooling fan may
continue to run after stopping the ve-
hicle, even when the engine is cold.
Also, as the cooling system operates
under pressure, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before do-
ing anything. For best quality cleaning and to
avoid freezing, this fl uid must
not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
To maintain the reliability of engines
and emission control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil is prohibited. Slacken the cap by two turns to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scald-
ing. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Note: the coolant does not need to be
changed.
