1 i MONITORING 31 207CC_EN_CHAP01_CONTROLE DE MARCHE_ED01-2014 Coolant temperature indicator System which informs the driver of the changes in the temperature of the en- gine coolant while driving. With the engine running, when the nee- dle is: - in zone A , the temperature is correct, - in zone B , the temperature is too high; the max temperature warning lamp 1 and the central STOP warn- ing lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali- fi ed workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the tem- perature and pressure in the cooling system increase. To top up the level: wait for the engine to cool, unscrew the cap by two turns to al- low the pressure to drop, when the pressure has dropped, re- move the cap, top up the level to the "MAX" mark (circular line). On petrol engines, the cooling of the engine is managed electronically to reduce fuel consumption. Conse- quently, the coolant temperature levels are no longer simply linked with the external ambient conditions and the use of the vehicle. For example, in town, it is normal for the coolant temperature to be slightly higher in cold weather than in hot weather (normal operation may lead to a temperature of over 100°). |
