The needle is positioned before the
red zone: normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic conditions, the needle may
move close to the red graduations. What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle.
What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:
-
stop immediately
, switch off the
ignition.
t
he fan may continue to
operate for a certain time, up to
approximately 10 minutes,
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the coolant level and
top it up if necessary
.
As the cooling system is pressurised,
follow this advice in order to avoid any
risk of scalding:
-
wait at least one hour after
switching of
f the engine before
carrying out any work,
-
unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to
allow the pressure to drop,
-
when the pressure has dropped,
check the level on the expansion
bottle,
-
if necessary , remove the cap to top
up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
have the system checked by a P euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.

EMISSIONS CONTROLS
eOBD (european On
Board Diagnosis) is a
diagnostics system which
complies with, among others,
the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
-
CO (carbon monoxide),
-
HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
-
NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
t
he driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning
lamp in the instrument panel.
t
here is a risk of damage to the
catalytic converter. Have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which
automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres
while driving.
t
he system
continuously monitors
the pressures of the four tyres, as soon
as the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of each tyre (except the spare
wheel).
t
he system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which
does not replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver
.t his system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
t
he tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
t
he tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

the alert is maintained until
the tyre or tyres concerned is
reinflated, repaired or replaced.
t
he spare wheel (space-saver
type or a steel rim) does not have a
sensor.
Operating fault
Under-inflation alert
the loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not rely
on just a visual check.The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.The flashing and then
fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning
lamp accompanied by the
illumination of the "Service" warning
lamp, and depending on equipment,
the display of a message indicates a
fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre
pressures is not assured.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.
-
Reduce speed, avoid sudden
steering movements or harsh brake
applications.
-
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-
In the event of a puncture, use
the temporary puncture repair kit
or the spare wheel (according to
equipment),
or
-
if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,
or
-
if it is not possible to check the
tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed.

one or more wheels is not fitted
with a sensor (for example, a
space-saver or steel spare wheel).

SERVICE INDICATOR
this programmes service intervals
according to the use of the vehicle. More than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
Example:
4 800 miles/km remain
before the next service is due. When
the ignition is switched on and for a
few seconds, the screen shows:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance recorder resumes normal
operation showing the total and trip
distances.
Less than 1 000 miles/km before the
next service is due
each time the ignition is switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner flashes and the number of
miles/kilometres remaining is displayed:
A few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the oil level is displayed
(depending on version), then the total
distance recorder resumes normal
operation and the spanner remains on.
t
his indicates that a service should be
carried out shortly.
Service overdue
Operation
A few moments after the ignition
has been switched on, the spanner
indicating a service operation comes
on; the display for the total distance
recorder gives (in round figures) the
distance remaining before the next
service.
t
he points at which a service is due
are calculated from the last indicator
zero reset.
t
he point at which a service is due is
determined by two parameters:
-
the distance travelled,
-
the time which has elapsed since
the last service.
t
he distance remaining before the
next service may be weighted by
the time factor, depending on the
type of driving. With the engine running the spanner
remains on until the service has been
carried out.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this
alert is also accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the Service warning
lamp, on switching on the ignition.
e
ach time the ignition is
switched on and for a few
seconds, the spanner
flashes and the excess
distance is displayed.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according the level of deterioration
of the engine oil. Deterioration of the
engine oil depends on the conditions of
use of the vehicle.

lights, traffic jams, or other...). The
engine restarts automatically - S
t
ARt
mode - as soon as you want to move
of
f.
t
he restart takes place instantly,
quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start
system reduces fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions as well as the noise
level when stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
the "ECO" warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox , at speeds
below 12 mph (20 km/h), when you
put the gear lever into neutral and
release the clutch pedal,
-
with the 6-speed electronic gear
control gearbox
, at a speed below
5 mph (8 km/h), when you press
the brake pedal or put the gear
lever into position N. If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of
the periods in S

journey. It rests itself to zero every time
the ignition is switched on with the key.
With the automatic gearbox
system, for your comfort during
parking manoeuvres, S t
OP
mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S t
OP
mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in
