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.

Manual operation
 Press this button to switch off the air conditioning.
6. Air distribution adjustment
 Press one or more buttons to direct the air flow towards:
5. Air conditioning On / Off
- the windscreen and side windows
(demisting or defrosting), - the windscreen, the side windows and the vents, - the windscreen, the side windows, the vents and the footwells, - the vents and the footwells, - the vents, - the footwells, - the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).  Press this button again to return to automatic operation of the air conditioning. The indicator lamp in the "A /C " button comes on. To obtain cool air sooner, you can use air recirculation for a few moments. Then return to exterior air intake. In winter, we recommend that you close the rear vents.
If you wish, you can make a different choice
from that offered by the system by changing a setting. The other functions will still be controlled automatically.  Pressing the "AUTO" button returns the system to completely automatic operation.
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed the minimum value 14 or the maximum value 28.  Turn control 2 or 3 to the left until "LO" (low) is displayed or to the right until "HI" (high) is displayed.

Bonnet
 Push the exterior safety catch B to the left and raise the bonnet.
 Unclip the stay C from its housing.  Fix the stay in the notch to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
 Take the stay out of the support notch.  Clip the stay in its housing.  Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel.  Pull on the bonnet to check that it is secured correctly.
Opening
 Open the front left door.  Pull the interior bonnet release lever A , located at the bottom of the door aperture.
Before doing anything under the bonnet, switch off the Stop & Start system to avoid any risk of injury resulting from an automatic change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents opening of the bonnet while the front left door is closed. Do not open the bonnet in high winds. When the engine is hot, handle the exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay with care (risk of burns).
The cooling fan may star t after switching off the engine: take care with articles and clothing that might become caught by the fan blades.
Because of the presence of electrical equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water (rain, washing, ...) be limited.

Checks
208
Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when the ignition is switched on using the oil level indicator in the instrument panel for vehicles with and electric oil level gauge, or using the dipstick.
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the warranty and maintenance record. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated. If a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). PEUGEOT recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
Take care when working under the bonnet, as certain areas of the engine may be extremely hot (risk of burns) and the cooling fan could start at any time (even with the ignition off).
If you find that the level is above the A mark or below the B mark, do not star t the engine . - If the level is above the MAX mark (risk of damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. - If the level is below the MIN mark, you must top up the engine oil.
A = M A X
To ensure that the reading is correct, your vehicle must be on level ground and the engine has been off for more than 30 minutes.
Checking using the dipstick
B = M I N
Refer to the "Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine" section for the location of the dipstick in the engine compartment of your vehicle. - Take the dipstick by its coloured grip and remove it completely. - Wipe the end of the dipstick using a clean non-fluffy cloth. - Refit the dipstick and push fully down, then pull it out again to make the visual check: the correct level is between the marks Aand B .

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.
