corresponding section:
-
engine oil level alert,
- risk of blockage of the particle filter (Diesel),
- Diesel fuel additive level (Diesel with particle
filter).

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.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F 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.
F 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.
F If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
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
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

The various caps and covers allow access for
checking the levels of the various fluids and for
replacing certain components.

1. Screenwash reservoir.
2. Coolant header tank.
3. Brake fluid reservoir.
4. Battery / Fuses.
5. Fusebox.
6. A i r f i l t e r.
7. Engine oil dipstick.
8. Engine oil filler cap.
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).
Checking levels
Check the levels regularly, in line with the
manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up
if necessary, unless otherwise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
