fl ashing. The engine management
system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic convertor.
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.

Maximum

temperature fi xed with the
needle in the red zone. The temperature of the cooling
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 en-
gine 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 on
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 al-
low the pressure to drop,

 when the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap,

 top up the level to the "MAX" mark
(circular line).
On petrol engines, the cooling of
the engine is managed electroni-
cally to reduce fuel consumption.
Consequently, the coolant tem-
perature levels are no longer sim-
ply linked with the external ambient
conditions and the use of the ve-
hicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather.

FUEL TANK
Reservoir which should be refi lled with
fuel, when the minimum level has been
detected.

Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres. Filling
A label affi xed to the inside of the tank
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used depending on your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be add-
ed in order to be registered by the fuel
gauge.
The key cannot be removed from the
lock until the fi ller cap is refi tted.
Opening the cap may release a vacu-
um, indicated by a noise. This is caused
by the sealing of the fuel system.
To fi ll the tank safely:

 the engine
must be
switched off,

 insert the key in the fi ller cap, then
turn it to the left,

 remove the fi ller cap,

 fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the pump ;
this could cause malfunctions.
When you have fi lled the tank:

 refi t the fi ller cap,

 turn the key to the right, then remove
it from the fi ller cap.
