Instrument panels
Panel grouping together the vehicle operation indication dials and warning lamps. Dials
1. Rev counter. Indicates the engine speed (x 1 000 rpm). 2. Coolant temperature. Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant (°Celsius). 3. Fuel level. Indicates the quantity of fuel remaining in the tank. 4. Speedometer. Indicates the current speed of the moving vehicle (mph or km/h). 5. Screen.6. Display zero reset or ser vice indicator re-display button. Resets the selected function to zero (trip distance recorder or service indicator) or displays the service indicator again. 7. Instrument panel lighting dimmer. Adjusts the brightness of the lighting of
the instruments and controls, if the vehicle lighting is on.
For more information, refer to the section corresponding to the button or function and its associated display.

Warning lampis onCauseAction/Observations

Engine autodiagnosis system
flashing. The engine management system has a fault. Risk of destruction of the catalytic converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
fixed. 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 qualified workshop without delay.

Low fuel level fixed with the needle in the red zone. When it first 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 sufficient 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 fixed 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 qualified workshop.

Dynamic stability control (DSC/ASR)
flashing. The DSC/ASR regulation is operating. The system optimises traction and improves the directional stability of the vehicle.
fixed. Unless it has been deactivated (button pressed and its indicator lamp on) the DSC/ASR system has a fault.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT or a qualified 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.
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature 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 "MA X" mark.
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 qualified workshop.

Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
A low additive level is indicated by illumination of the service warning lamp, accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the instrument panel screen.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin. Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground. Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop (France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with ar ticles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to 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 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.

Practical information251
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance. To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.  To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
