INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS


Warning lamp



is on



Cause



Action/Observations







STOP


fi xed, alone
or associated
with another
warning lamp,
accompanied
by an audible
signal and a
message in
the screen. Illumination of this warning
lamp is associated with a
serious braking system,
power steering, engine
lubrication or cooling
system malfunction or a
punctured tyre. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as there is a
risk that the engine will cut out while driving.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.





Braking


fi xed,
associated
with the STOP
warning lamp. The braking system fl uid
level is too low. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fl uid recommended by
PEUGEOT.
If the problem persists, have the system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

+


fi xed, associated
with the STOP
and ABS
warning lamp.
The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system
has a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a qualifi ed
workshop.




Maximum
coolant
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 or a qualifi ed workshop.

Coolant temperature indicator

With the engine running, when the
needle 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
warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen.

You must stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.

Wait a few minutes before switching off
the engine.
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,
remove the cap,

)
top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

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 or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

Brake fluid level


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.

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 pressure to
drop. When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.

Oil level

The check is carried out either
when the ignition is switched on
using the oil level indicator on
the instrument panel, or using
the dipstick.
This manual check will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more than
30 minutes.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel will only
be valid 30 minutes after topping up. 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 Warranty and Maintenance
Record 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.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record 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.

It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the oil
level and top up if necessary every
3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.

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


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.

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).
Oil specifi cation
The oil must be the correct grade for
your engine and conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
