STOPfixed, associated
with another warning
lamp, accompanied
b
y an audible signaland a message in the screen. It is associated with a
punctured
wheel, the braking system, the power steering, the engine oil pressure,
the engine coolant temperature or a major electrical fault.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine may cut out.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Serviceon temporarily.Minor faults have occurred for which
there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the screen, such as, for example:
- the engine oil level,
- saturation o
f the par ticle emissions filter (Diesel).
- the power steering,
- a minor electrical fault.

Coolant temperature gauge
With the engine running, when the needle is:


- in zone A
, the temperature is correct,

- in zone B, the temperature is too high; the central STOP
warning lamp comes on,accompanied by an audible signal and amessage in the instrument panel screen.You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop.
After drivin
g for a few minutes, the temperatureand 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 "MA X" mark.


On switching on the ignition or when driving, it
indicates the engine oil temperature.
With the needle in zone C , the temperature is correct.
With the needle in zone D , the temperature is
too high.
Slow down to lower the oil temperature.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.When the engine is warm,
the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
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 an
y risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove thecap and top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid

In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal anda message in the instrument panelscreen.
Top up the reser voir when you next stop the
vehicle. The cooling fan may star t after switchingoff the engine: take care with ar ticles andclothing that might become caught by thefan blades.
