INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS










Warning lamps
When the hybrid system is active or the vehicle is being driven, the illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates
a fault which requires action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in

Action/Observations






STOP


fi xed, associated
with another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message in
the screen. It is associated with the
braking system, the power
steering, the engine oil
pressure, the engine coolant
temperature or the hybrid
system. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a
PEUGEOT dealer.




Service


temporarily. A minor fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen, such as, for example:


- the hybrid system,

- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,

- the engine oil level,

- the screenwash level,

- the remote control battery,

- saturation of the particle emission
fi lter (Diesel).
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

fi xed. A major fault has occurred
for which there is no specifi c
warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message
shown on the screen and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.


(PEF:

fi xed, associated
temporarily with a
message on the risk
of FEP fi lter blockage. This indicates the start of
saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter. As soon as traffi c conditions permit,
regenerate the fi lter by by driving at a
speed of of least 36 mph (60 km/h) until
the service warning lamp goes off.

fi xed. This indicates the low level of
the Diesel additive reservoir. Have it topped up as soon as possible
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Diesel


fi xed. The Diesel fuel fi lter contains
water. Risk of damage to the injection system
on Diesel engines.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop without delay.

CHECKING LEVELS


Oil specifi cation


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 dip-
stick.
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 oil must be the correct
grade for your engine and con-
form to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.



Brake fluid level

The brake fl uid level should be close to
the "MAX" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.

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.
It is normal to top up the oil level
between services. PEUGEOT
recommends that you check
the oil level and top up if necessary ev-
ery 3 000 miles (5 000 kilometres).
Engine oil change
Refer to the servicing booklet 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.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation. 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 pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle emission fi lter, the fan may oper-
ate after the vehicle has been switched
off, even if the engine is cold.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
When working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain ar-
eas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns).





Before doing anything under
the bonnet, switch off the igni-
tion ( Ready
lamp off) to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from auto-
matic operation of the engine.
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the corre-
sponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.



Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
low fl uid level is indicated by an
audible signal and a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Top up the reservoir when you stop the
vehicle.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.

CHECKS

Particle emission filter (Diesel)

As soon as the traffi c condi-
tions permit, regenerate the
fi lter by driving at a speed of
at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this in-
dicates a low additive level.

Brake disc wear














Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.







6-speed electronic
gearbox system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.
















Electric parking brake

This system does not require any rou-
tine servicing. However, in the event of
a problem, have the system checked by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
For more information, see
"Driving - Electric parking
brake - § Operating faults".






The hybrid system is inactive during
regeneration of the particle emis-
sions fi lter. The start of saturation of the
particle fi lter is indicated by
the temporary illumination
of this warning lamp accom-
panied by a message in the
multi-function screen.

On a new vehicle, the fi rst particle
fi lter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstanc-
es, notice the emission of water va-
pour at the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment.






















Only use products recom-
mended by PEUGEOT or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as the brak-
ing system, PEUGEOT selects and
offers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited
