Warning / indicator lamp State Cause Action / Observations
STOP fixed, associated with
another warning lamp. It is associated with the engine
oil pressure or the engine coolant
temperature. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a PEUGEOT
dealer or qualified workshop.
Service fixed, associated with
another warning lamp. Major faults have occurred.
Refer to the section on this warning lamp and you
must then contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop.

Warning / indicator lamp State Cause Action / Observations
Engine oil
pressure fixed.
There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge *fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...). The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Low fuel level
fixed with the needle
in the red zone. There remains approximately 5 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 50 litres
.
Never continue to drive until you run out of fuel, as
this could damage the emission control and injection
systems.
flashing with the
needle in the red
zone.
There remains very little fuel in the
tank.
Under-inflation fixed. The pressure in one or more wheels
is too low. Check the pressure of the tyres as soon as possible.
This check should preferably be carried out when the
tyres are cold.
+ flashing then fixed,
accompanied by the
Service warning lamp.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
has a fault or no sensor is detected
on one of the wheels. Under-inflation detection is not assured.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Under-inflation detection
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the need for vigilance
on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey). The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed
.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.

Practical information181

Textured paint
The textured paint reacts to light with variations
of appearance and finish that emphasise
the car's lines and form. This paint contains
particles that remain visible and create
a unique satin effect with relief. Its lightly
granulated texture gives it a surprising feel.
Straight cut matt paint
Maintenance:
Observe the following recommendations to
avoid damaging the paint finish:
-
C
hoose a high pressure wash, or at least a
high water delivery; roller brush washing is
compatible.
-

G
ently wipe the body with a clean
microfibre cloth.
-

C
arefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the body
using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.
-

C
lean off minor marks (for example,
finger marks), using the product in the
"TECHNATURE" range intended for
removing insects.
The following recommendations should be
taken into account in the care and maintenance
of the matt paint. They also appear in the
servicing and warranty booklet for the vehicle.
-

N

ever clean the vehicle without water.
-

N

ever clean your vehicle in an automatic
roller-brush car wash.
-

N

ever polish the body or the alloy wheels.
This makes the paint bright. -
D
o not use paint restorers, abrasive or
polishing products or paint preservers
(wax polish, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright
finishes. Using them on vehicles finished
with matt paint seriously damages the
sur face finish of the vehicle, resulting in
particular in the appearance of irreversible
bright or stained areas.
-

N

ever use a high pressure jet washer fitted
with a brush as this may scratch the paint
sur face.
-

N

ever select a wash programme with a
final hot wax cycle.
On the other hand:
-

D
o not use a wash programme that
includes a final hot wax cycle.
-

D
o not use waterless cleaning.
-

N
ever polish the vehicle.
-

D
o not use paint restorers, abrasive
or polishing products, or bright paint
preservers (wax polish, for example).
It is always preferable to have paint repairs
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
