Monitoring
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, 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 instrument panel screen. If you encounter any problems, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Warning / indicator lampStateCauseAction / Observations
STOP fixed, associated with another warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen.
It is associated with a punctured wheel, the braking system, the power steering, the engine oil pressure, the engine coolant temperature or a major electrical fault.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine may cut out. Park, switch off the ignition and call a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Service on temporarily. Minor faults have occurred for which there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the screen, such as, for example: - the engine oil level, - saturation of the particle emissions filter (Diesel). - the power steering, - a minor electrical fault. - ... For any other faults, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
fixed. Major faults have occurred for which there is no specific warning lamp. Identify the fault by reading the message shown in the screen and then contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop.

Coolant temperature gauge
With the engine running, when the needle is: - in zone A , the temperature is correct, - in zone B , the temperature is too high; the central STOP warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel 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 qualified workshop.
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.
On switching on the ignition or when driving, it indicates the engine oil temperature. With the needle in zone C , the temperature is correct. With the needle in zone D , the temperature is too high. Slow down to lower the oil temperature.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
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.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp wash fluid Screenwash and headlamp wash fluid Screenwash and headlamp
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.
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.
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.
Used products
Topping up
This additive must be topped up by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
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. When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. Top up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
