Warning lamps
When the engine is running 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
the multifunction screen.
If you encounter any problems, do not hesitate to contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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.







Service


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


- the closing of the doors, boot or bonnet,

- the engine oil level,

- the screenwash level,

- the remote control battery,

- the tyre pressures,

- saturation of the particle emission
fi lter (Diesel).

- ...
For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.


(PEF:
particle
emissions
fi lter, Diesel)


fi xed, associated
temporarily with a
message on the risk of
blockage of the PEF. This indicates the start of
saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter. As soon as traffi c conditions allow,
regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 35 mph (60 km/h) until
the service warning lamp goes off.

fi xed. This indicates the low level in
the Diesel additive reservoir.
Have the level topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop as soon as possible.

Action/Observations




Engine
autodiagnosis
system

fi xed. The emission control 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 with the needle
in the red zone. When it fi rst comes on there
remains approximately 6 litres

of fuel in the tank.
At this point, you begin to
use the fuel reserve. 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 60 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run
out of fuel, as this could damage the
emission control and injection systems.


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.


Engine oil
pressure


fi xed. There is a fault with the
engine lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Dynamic
stability
control
(ESP/ASR)


fl ashing. The ESP/ASR regulation is
active. The system optimises traction and
improves the directional stability of the
vehicle.

fi xed. Unless it has been
deactivated (button pressed
and its indicator lamp on) the
ESP/ASR system has a fault. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a
quali
fi ed workshop.

The level shown will only be
correct if the vehicle is on level
ground and the engine has been
off for more than 30 minutes.
Engine oil level indicator
System which informs the driver whether
the engine oil level is correct or not. This information is indicated for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched
on, after the service information.

Oil level correct

Oil level low
Oil level indicator fault

Dipstick
This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL"
, linked with the service warning
lamp, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multifunction
screen.
If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, the level must
be topped up to prevent damage to the
engine. This is indicated by the fl ashing of
"OIL --"
. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Refer to the "Checks" section to locate
the dipstick and the oil fi ller cap on your
engine.
There are 2 marks on the
dipstick:


- A
= max; never exceed
this level (risk of dam-
age to the engine),

- B
= min; top up the level
via the oil fi ller cap, using
the grade of oil suited to
your engine.

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

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 in-
dicator 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 servicing booklet 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.


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.
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.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
meet the DOT4 standard.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This
can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a par-
ticle 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, re-
move 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 working under the bon-
net, take care, as certain areas
of the engine may be extremely
hot (risk of burns).


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).


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


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

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