Engine coolant temperature
With the engine running, when the needle is:
- i n zone A , the temperature of the engine
coolant is correct,
-

i
n 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

w
ait at least one hour for the engine to
cool,
F

u
nscrew the cap two turns to allow the
pressure to drop,
F

w
hen the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,
F

t
op 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).
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.

Practical information

208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016
When towing
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.
For more information on weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to the corresponding section.
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

I
f 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, 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 and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the
maximum towed load must be reduced by 10
%
for every 1
000 metres of altitude.
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.
