Engine coolant
temperature
With the engine running, when the needle is:
- in zone A , the temperature of the engine
coolant is correct,
- in zone B , the temperature of the engine
coolant is too high; the maximum
temperature and the central STOP warning
lamps come on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a warning 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 qualified
workshop.
Checking the level
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
F wait at least one hour for the engine to
cool,
F unscrew the cap two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
F when the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,
F top up the level to the "MA X" mark.
Be aware of the risk of burns when
topping up the cooling system. Do not
fill above the maximum level (indicated
on the header tank).
Operation Level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be replaced at
routine services.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
