Fuel warning lamp
In certain driving conditions and de-
pending on the engine, the distance
which you will be able to travel with
the remaining fuel may be less than
30 miles (50 kilometres) (the capacity
of the tank is approximately 67 litres).
Emission control system
warning lamp
This should switch off a few seconds
after the engine is switched on.
When the engine is running, if the
warning lamp fl ashes or comes on
continuously, this indicates an emis-
sion control system malfunction.

as possible. Diesel engine pre-heat
warning lamp
Wait for the warning lamp to switch off
before starting. The illumination period
is determined by the ambient conditions.
Passenger's airbag
deactivated warning lamp *
If the warning lamp remains on, this
indicates that the passenger's airbag
has been deactivated intentionally.
If it comes on continuously above 6 mph
(10 km/h), it indicates an ABS fault.
However, the vehicle retains conven-
tional servo-assisted braking.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) warning lamp
* According to country.
The warning lamp is repea-
ted on the instrument panel
screen.
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
lamp comes on (linked with the STOP
warning lamp), stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
Wait for the engine to cool down be-
fore topping up the level, if necessary.
As the cooling circuit is pressurised, 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, if
necessary.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

FUEL TANK
The capacity of the tank is approxi-
mately 67 litres. When the low fuel level is
reached, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen. When it fi rst comes
on, about 6 litres of fuel remains in
the tank.
If you run completely out of fuel
(Diesel), refer also to the "Checks"
section.
A label fi tted to the inside of the fuel
fi ller fl ap indicates which type of fuel
to use.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by the
fuel gauge.
Opening the fuel fi ller may produce the
noise of an inrush of air. This vacuum
is entirely normal and results from the
sealing of the fuel system.
Low fuel warning
To refuel in complete safety:

 you must switch off the engine,

 open the fuel fi ller fl ap.

 turn the cap to the left.

 remove the cap and hang the end
on the hook located on the inside
of the fl ap.

 fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the third cut-off of the noz-
zle ; this may cause malfunctions.
After fi lling the tank:

 refi t the cap,

 close the fl ap.
Operating fault
A fuel gauge fault is indicated by the
fuel guage needle returning to zero.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

CHECKS
At the start of winter, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Have the fi lter elements
replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is essential that the particle emission
fi lter is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule,
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Note : following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed or at
idle, you may, in exceptional circum-
stances, notice emissions of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not have any effect on the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.
On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the cooling fan may
operate after the vehicle has stopped,
even when the engine is cold. Where the parking brake trav-
el is too great or there is a re-
duction in the performance of
the system, the parking brake
should be adjusted.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

ing disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF (PETROL) *

If you should run out of fuel, it is ne-
cessary to prime the fuel system.
The priming pump and the bleed screw
are located under the bonnet (see cor-
responding illustration in the technical

1.6 litre 16V HDI engine
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve li-
tres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump until fuel appears in
the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
2 litre 16V HDI engine
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve li- tres of diesel,
- unscrew the bleed screw,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump until diesel is seen
escaping via the bleed screw,
- retighten the bleed screw,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.
Brake pad wear depends on
the style of driving, in particu-
lar for vehicles which are used
in town, over short distances.
Brake pads It may be necessary to check
the brake pads for wear, even
between services.
* According to version.
