INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
When the engine is running or the ve-
hicle is moving, the lighting of one of the
following warning lamps indicates the
occurrence of a fault requiring interven-
tion on the part of the driver.

Central alert.
Lighting is associated with
the displaying of another
warning lamp:


- punctured wheel,

- braking,

- power steering,

- engine oil pressure,

- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.

Service.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a problem in one
of the systems which does not
have a specifi c warning lamp.
To identify the problem, consult the
message on the multifunction screen.
Braking.
If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in one of
the braking systems:


- signifi cant drop in the brake fl uid
level,

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) faulty (simultaneous
lighting of the ABS warning lamp),
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
When the vehicle is moving, check that
the parking brake is fully released. Any fault resulting in the displaying
of a warning lamp must be investi-
gated further by reading the associ-
ated message on the multifunction
screen.
In the event of diffi culty, do not
hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.









Warning lamps

Common warning lamps After checking:


- that the doors, boot, the rear
screen and bonnet are closed,

- the engine oil level,

- the screenwash fl uid level,

- the remote control battery,

- the pressure of the tyres,

- the end of saturation of the particle
emission
fi lter (Diesel),
for any other situations, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS).

If this comes on, it indicates the
occurrence of a fault in the anti-
lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent operation
of the vehicle's servo-assisted braking.

If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in one
of the airbag or pretensioning
seat belt systems.

Braking.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in one
of the braking systems:


- signifi cant drop in the brake fl uid
level,

- electronic brake force distribution
(EBFD) faulty (simultaneous
lighting of the ABS warning lamp).
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
If the vehicle is moving, check that the
parking brake is fully released.

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS).
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
anti-lock braking system.
However, this does not prevent operation
of the vehicle's servo-assisted braking.

Door open.
A door, the boot or the rear
screen is open:
Parking brake.

If this is displayed, while the ve-
hicle is moving, it indicates that
the parking brake has not been
fully released.
Electronic immobiliser.
If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
electronic engine immobiliser
system or that the remote control bat-
tery is fl at.
Fuel level.
When this fi rst comes on, you
have approximately 6 litres
of
fuel remaining in the tank
Refuel as soon as possible to avoid run-
ning out of fuel.
Until suffi cient fuel has been added,
this warning lamp comes on again each
time the ignition is switched on, along
with an audible signal and a message.
According to version, this audible signal
and this message are repeated, at in-
creasingly shorter intervals as the level
decreases towards "0"
.
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres
.

Screenwash fl uid level.

If this is displayed, following an
action on the wiper stalk, it indi-
cates that the screenwash fl uid
level is low.
Fill the screenwash/headlamp wash fl uid
reservoir when you next stop.


-
if the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning lamp is displayed in orange,

- if the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning lamp is displayed in red.


Never continue to drive until you
run out of fuel, this could damage
the emissions control and injection
systems.
Engine oil pressure.

If this is displayed, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the
engine lubrication circuit. Stop
the vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Engine oil level.

If this is displayed, it indicates
that the engine oil level is too
low. Stop the vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so.

Coolant temperature.

If this is displayed, it indicates
that the temperature in the cool-
ing system is too high. Stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.

Coolant level.

If this is displayed, it indicates
that the coolant level is too low.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS
The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 15 minutes.















Engine oil level indicator

System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not. This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.

Oil level correct

Lack of oil
Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of "OIL"
,
linked with the service warning lamp, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.
If the lack of oil is confi rmed by a check
using the dipstick, it is essential that the
level is topped up to prevent damage to
the engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL



--"
. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of
damage to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap,
using the grade of oil
suited to your engine.

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system 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 igni-
tion is switched on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for details of the interval for this
operation.


Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Top up the level when you stop the
vehicle.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your en-
gine and conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with plain water.



Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).
