Dash panel
Note
When towing the vehicle with the engine
stopped or due to a fault in the power steer-
ing, this will not operate. The vehicle can still
be steered, but it will require greater force to
turn the steering wheel.
Emission control system*
Control lamp flashes:
When there i
s misfiring that can damage the
catalytic converter. Reduce speed and drive
carefully to the nearest specialised workshop
to have the engine checked.
The control lamp lights up:
If a fault has developed during driving which
has reduced the quality of the exhaust gas
(e.g. lambda probe fault). Reduce speed and
drive carefully to the nearest specialised
workshop to have the engine checked.
Level*/Temperature of the coolant
There is a fault if:
●
The warning symbol does not go out again
after a few seconds.
●
The warning lamp lights up or flashes while
the vehicle is moving, and three acoustic
warning signals
›
›
›
are emitted.
This means that either the coolant level is too
low or the coolant temperature is too high.
Coolant temperature too high
If the warning lamp comes on, stop the vehi-
cle, turn off the engine and wait for it to cool
down.
Check the coolant level.
If
the c
oolant level is correct, the overheating
may be caused by a malfunction of the radia-
tor fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have
it replaced if necessary ››› page 195.
If the control lamp lights up again after driv-
ing on for a short distance, stop the vehicle
and switch the engine off. Contact a Techni-
cal Service or a specialised workshop.
Coolant level too low
If the warning lamp comes on , stop the vehi-
cle, turn off the engine and wait for it to cool
down. First check the coolant level. If the lev-
el of the coolant is below the “MIN” mark,
top up with coolant liquid ›››
.
WARNING
●
If your vehicle is immobilised for technical
reasons, move it to a safe distance from traf-
fic. Turn the engine off, turn the hazard lights
on and place the warning triangle.
●
Never open the bonnet if you can see or
hear steam or coolant escaping from the en-
gine compartment. Risk of scalding. Wait un-
til you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.
●
The engine compartment is a dangerous
area. Before carrying out any work in the en-
gine compartment, switch off the engine and
allow it to cool down. Always note the corre-
sponding warnings ››› page 166.
Alternator
This warning lamp signals a fault in the alter-
nator.
The warning lamp lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on. It should go out when the
engine has started running.
If the warning lamp lights up while driv-
ing, the alternator is no longer charging the
battery. You should immediately drive to the
nearest specialised workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment
that is not absolutely necessary because this
will drain the battery.
Turn signals
Depending on which turn signal is operating,
either the left or right turn signal lamp
flashes. Both control lamps will flash at the
same time when the hazard warning lights
are switched on.
