Instruments and controls 20 - INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS A permanently lit warning light or one flashing, with the engine running, indicates an operating fault of the unit concerned. The illumination of certain warning lights may be accompanied by an audible signal. Do not ignore this warning: consult a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible. If the central STOP warning light comes on when you are driving, stop your vehicle immediately, where it is safe to do so. Central STOP warning light Linked to the "engine oil pressure", "coolant tem- perature and low level", "handbrake", "low brake fluid level" and "electronic braking system fault" warning lights. You must stop if the light flashes with the engine running. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Engine oil pressure and temperature warning light Linked to the central STOP warning light. You must stop. This warning light indicates one of the following: - insufficient oil pressure, - a lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the level. - an oil temperature which is too high. The warning light is accompa- nied by an audible signal. To lower the oil temperature, reduce your speed. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Low coolant level warning light Linked to the central STOP warning light. You must stop. Wait for the engine to cool before topping up the level. The cooling circuit is pressurised. In the event of breakdown and to prevent any risk of burns, unscrew the cap to the first notch to allow the pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, re- move the cap and top up the level. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Battery charge warning light This indicates one of the following: - faulty operation of the charging cir- cuit, - slack battery or starter terminals, - a cut or slack alternator belt, - an alternator failure.

This indicates one of the following: - that the handbrake is applied or not fully released, - an excessive drop in brake fluid level (if the warning light remains on even when the handbrake is re- leased), - a fault in the Electronic Brake Force Distribution, if lit at the same time as the ABS warning light. You must stop. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. |
