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 or qualifi ed workshop.

system has a fault. The warning lamp should go off when the engine
is started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or qualifi ed workshop without delay.

fl ashing. The engine management
system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.






Low fuel level


fi xed. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately
5 litres of

fuel
in the tank. You must 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
(petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel).
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel
as this could damage the emission control and
injection systems.

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 cor-
rect,

- 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.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop. 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, re-
move 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. Conse-
quently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient conditions
and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather (normal operation
may lead to a temperature of over
100 °).

ACCESS
79
The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is refi tted. FUEL TANK


Fuel tank capacity: approximately
50 litres (petrol) or 48 litres (Diesel).

Opening the fi ller cap may create a
noise caused by an inrush of air. This
vacuum is entirely normal, resulting
from the sealing of the fuel system.
To fi ll the tank safely:


)
the engine must be switched off,


)
open the fuel fi ller fl ap,

)
insert the key in the cap, then turn it
to the left,
When you have fi lled the tank:


)
put the cap back in place,

)
turn the key to the right, then remove
it from the cap,

)
close the fl ap.

)
remove the cap and hook it onto
the clip located on the inside of the
fl ap,

)
fi ll the tank, but do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the pump
;
this could cause malfunctions.


Low fuel level

Filling

When the fuel tank minimum
level is reached this warning
lamp comes on on the instru-
ment panel. When it fi rst comes
on there remains approximately 5 litres

of fuel in the tank.
You must refuel as soon as possible to
avoid running out of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer also
to the "Checks" section.
A label affi xed to the inside of the fl ap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used depending on your engine.
Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres, in order to be taken into account
by the fuel gauge.

MISFUEL PREVENTION *

Mechanical device which prevents fi ll-
ing the tank of a Diesel vehicle with
petrol. It avoids the risk of engine dam-
age that can result from fi lling with the
wrong fuel.
Located in the fi ller neck, the misfuel
prevention device appears when the
fi ller cap is removed.


Operation

When a petrol fi ller nozzle is introduced
into the fuel fi ller neck of your Diesel
vehicle, it comes into contact with the
fl ap. The system remains closed and
prevents fi lling.

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel
type fi ller nozzle.

It is still possible to use a fuel can
to fi ll the reservoir.
In order to ensure a good fl ow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel
can in direct contact with the fl ap of
the misfuel prevention device.

Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the pres-
ence of the misfuel prevention device
may make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we rec-
ommend that you check with the
PEUGEOT dealer network, whether
your vehicle is suitable for the fuel
pumps in the country in which you
want to travel.
