1 Trip mileometer reset button and clock reset (rotate).
NOTE :
• Under normal operating conditions, the oil level is only measured if the ignition has been switched off for
over one minute; otherwise the old oil level value is re-displayed.
If a fault is detected, however, an oil level measurement is made each time the ignition is switched on to
check if the fault is persisting.
• It is normal to find that the oil level is not always the same:
- parking on a slope,
- too short a wait after running the engine for a short moment (especially when the oil is cold), ...

INSTRUMENT PANEL
Oil level sensor

98898R1
OPERATION
The sensor consists of a wire with a high
coefficient of resistance. When a current passes
through the wire it does not have the same
thermal conductivity when it is immersed in a
liquid as when it is in the open air.
After a fixed time a voltage difference is obtained
at the sensor terminals depending on the depth of
immersion of the wire. This voltage difference is
recorded by the electronic unit which manages
the level display function and also controls the
"low oil level" warning light display on the
central liquid crystal display.
When the ignition is switched on, the central dis-
play shows the oil level in a series of "blocks" for
approximately 30 seconds, before returning to
displaying the trip mileometer and total mileome-
ter functions (or "odometer" function).
NOTE : Turning the trip mileometer reset button
before the end of the timed period will display
the "odometer" function.
LOOKING FOR FAULTS
If a short circuit or an open circuit is detected
when the oil level is measured, the display will im-
mediately show the trip mileometer / clock dis-
plays.
CHECKING
The sensor resistance must be between 6 and 20
ohms.
The sensor is deemed to be in short circuit for a va-
lue lower than 4 ohms.
The sensor is deemed to be in open circuit for a va-
lue higher than 22 ohms.

CONTROLS - SIGNALS
Rotary switch under steering wheel
Special notes for refitting
Ensure the wheels are still straight.
Ensure the rotary switch under the steering wheel
is still immobilised before refitting.
If there is any doubt follow the method for cen-
tring described in section 88 "driver’s airbag".
Renew the steering wheel bolt each time it is re-
moved (pre-bonded bolt).
Observe the correct tightening torque (4.5
daN.m).

IMPORTANT
Before reconnecting the driver’s airbag cushion,
check to see if the system is operating correctly as
follows:
•check the airbag warning light on the
instrument panel is illuminated when the
ignition is on,
•connect a dummy ignition module to the
driver’s airbag connector and check that the
warning light extinguishes,
•switch the ignition off, connect the airbag
cushion in place of the dummy ignition module
and secure the cushion to the steering wheel,
•switch the ignition on. Check the warning light
illuminates for three seconds when the ignition
is switched on then extinguishes and remains
extinguished.
If the warning light does not operate exactly as
described above, refer to the fault finding section
and test the system using the XRBAG (Elé. 1288)
(see section 88).
IMPORTANT: if these instructions are not obser-
ved, the systems may not operate normally and
may be incorrectly triggered.
