MONITORING
Warning lamp is on 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 fault
with the braking system, power
steering, engine lubrication
system or cooling system.
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.

MONITORING
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 check of this level is only valid if the vehicle is on a level
surface, with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
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.

DIESEL FUEL 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 hou\
r
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.
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.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fl uid is
recommended.

196
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not depen\
dent
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.
