INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Warning lamps

Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on applying a check auto-test. They go off again almost immediately.
When the engine is running: the warning lamp becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial warning may be
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
Do not ignore these warnings

FUEL GAUGE

The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:


- 1:
the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.

- 0:
the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned before the red
zone:
normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning lamp
comes on:


- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes,

- wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 6.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine run at
idle. Refer to the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 8 litres. As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:


- wait at least one hour after switching off
the engine before carrying out any work,

- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the
pressure to drop,

- when the pressure has dropped, check
the level on the expansion bottle,

- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

EASE OF USE AND COMFOR

Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even
for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
th
ere is a risk of fire. The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this
(for example in the case of painting in
an oven
) could damage the components of
th
e electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied b
y the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low
fuel warning lamp
i
s not on.
ADDITIONAL HEATING


Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate s
ystem
which heats the Diesel en
gine hot coolant
loop to make starting easier.
It improves the demistin
g and defrosting
performance. Vehicles fitted with an HDi
engine may be fitted with a heater. When
t
he engine is at idle or the vehicle is
stationary, it is normal to notice a high-
pitched whistling noise and a slight emission
of smoke and odour.

Towing a trailer
For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
S
5

On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.
