Cause



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.




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.




Braking


fi xed, associated
with the STOP
warning lamp. The braking system fl uid level is
too low. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fl uid recommended by PEUGEOT.
If the problem persists, have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

+

fi xed, associated
with the STOP
and ABS warning
lamp. The electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system has
a fault. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS












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 maximum temperature
warning lamp and the central STOP
warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and an alert message in the
screen.

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 qualifi ed workshop.
















ENGINE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR

This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The vehicle must be on level ground and the engine must have
been off for more than 30 minutes for this level check to be
accurate. 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 "MAX" mark.

CHECKS









ADDITIVE LEVEL (DIESEL WITH PARTICLE
EMISSIONS FILTER)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fi xed
illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message that the particle emissions fi lter additive
level is too low.

Topping up

The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.









USED PRODUCTS

Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fl uids with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fl uids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.











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.
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.





The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take
care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.




Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manufacturer'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 next stop the vehicle.


Fluid specification

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fl uid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.

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 towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.


Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Tyres



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the electrical 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.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.


When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.
