COOLANT TEMPERATURE IN d ICATOR
With the engine running, when the needle is:
-

in zone
A, the temperature is correct,
-

in zone
B, the temperature is too high; the maximum temperature
warning lamp and the central STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible signal and the display of an alert
message.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the engine.
Contact
a PEUGEOT

ENGINE OIL LEVEL IN d ICATOR
This information is displayed for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, at the same time as the service information.
The check of this level is only valid if the vehicle is on a level
surface, with the engine having been off for more than 30 minutes.
After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the
cooling system increase.
To top up the level:
F

wait for the engine to cool,
F

unscrew the cap by 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.

dIESEL FUEL A dd ITIVE LEVEL ( dIESEL WITH
P

ARTICLE FILTER )
The additive reservoir low level is indicated by fixed illumination of this warning lamp, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message
that the particle filter additive level is too low.
Topping up
The reservoir must be topped up without delay by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
USEd PROdUCTS
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health or indeed very corrosive.
Do
not discard used oil or fluids into sewers or onto the ground.
Take
used oil to a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop
(France) or to an authorised waste disposal site.
COOLANT LEVEL
The coolant level should be close to the "MAx" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hou\
r
after switching of
f the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow the \
pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level. The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be caught by the fan blades.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's recommendations.
SCREENWASH AN d HEA d LAMP WASH FLUI d
In the case of vehicles fitted with headlamp washers, the low fluid
level is indicated by an audible signal and a message in
the instrument panel screen.
T

op up the reservoir when you next stop the vehicle.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, this fluid must not be topped up with or replaced with plain water .
In
wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol or methanol base fluid is
recommended.
