Coolant temperature gauge
With the engine running, when the needle is:
- in zone A, the temperature is correct,
-
in z

one B, the temperature 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

Contact a P

Ot d
ealer or a qualified
workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.

gauges and indicators
Service indicator
System which informs the driver when the
next service is due, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
More than 1 800 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no service
information appears in the screen.
the p
oint at which the next service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero reset,
depending on the distance travelled and the
time elapsed since the last service.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the degree of
deterioration of the engine oil is also taken into
account (depending on the country of sale).

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

.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
0

00
m
etres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% f

or every 1
0
00 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F take into account the increased sensitivity
t o side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F


t
o lo
wer the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
the m

aximum 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 t

he 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 av oid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
v ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
o n the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.

the brake fluid level must be
b etween the marking " A" (MA X
located on the remote reservoir) and
the marking " B" (MIN located on the
main reservoir). If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fluid
Refer to the personalised service schedule for
your vehicle for details of the interval for this
operation.
Fluid specification
the brake fluid must conform to the
ma nufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
the coolant level should be close
t o the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.
to av

oid 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.
Changing the coolant
the coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
the coolant must conform to the
ma nufacturer's recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
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.
top u

p the reservoir when you next
stop the vehicle.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol
or methanol base fluid is recommended.
