Peugeot 208 2016-2022 Engine coolant temperature

Engine coolant temperature

With the engine running, when the needle is:

• Zone A: The temperature of the engine coolant is correct.
• Zone B: The temperature of the engine coolant is too high. The maximum temperature and the central STOP warning lamps come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a warning message on the screen.

Checking the level

After driving for a few minutes, the temperature and pressure in the cooling system increase. To top up the level:

• Wait at least one hour for the engine to cool.
• Unscrew the cap two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
• When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap.
• Top up the level to the "MAX" mark.

Level

The coolant level should be close to the "MAX" mark but should never exceed it.

Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be replaced during routine services.

Fluid specification

The coolant must conform to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

When the engine is warm, the temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. The cooling fan may start after switching off the engine; take care with articles and clothing that might be caught by the fan blades.

Servicing

The vehicle's odometer is displayed in area A of the display screen and the trip recorder in area B.

• The service indicator remains displayed if the service is overdue.
• The service indicator does not appear if it is more than 2,000 miles (3,000 km) before the next service is due.

For BlueHDi Diesel versions only (depending on the country of sale), the degree of deterioration of the engine oil is also taken into account.

This is a countdown between the intervals given in the manufacturer’s service schedule. It is calculated from the last reset of the service indicator according to:

• The mileage covered.
• The time elapsed since the last service.

The service indicator appears when approaching a servicing point:

• It indicates the distance before the next service is due.
• It displays the servicing interval in two ways.

Servicing reminder

Between 600 miles (1,000 km) and 1,800 miles (3,000 km) remain

For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner symbolising the service operations comes on. The distance recorder display line indicates the distance remaining before the next service is due.

Example: 1,700 miles (2,800 km) remain before the next service is due.

Less than 600 miles (1,000 km) remain

For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the screen indicates the remaining distance before the next service.

Example: 560 miles (900 km) remain before the next service is due.

Service overdue

For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the spanner flashes to indicate that the service must be carried out as soon as possible.

Example: The service is overdue by 186 miles (300 km).

After 7 seconds, the spanner goes off and the distance recorder resumes normal operation. The screen then indicates the total and trip distances.
