INSTRUMENT PANEL*25I-12Coolant temperature gauge Coolant temperature warning lampUnder normal operating conditions, the gauge may indicate a temperature of up to 100¡C.Under severe operating conditions, such as in high temperatures, the needle may approach the red zones.
If the warning lamp lights up, stop immediately, switch the engine off, the cooling fan may conti-
nue to operate for a while , and allow to cool before checking the coolant level, taking the pre-
cautions described in chapter IV - Maintenance - "Levels, checks".

Beware: When working under the bonnet, the cooling fan could operate if the engi-
ne is hot (even when switched off).
Power steering oil Check the level with the engine
switched off. The level should be between the maximum
and minimum marks on
the reservoir. Never run the engine without oil in the pump reservoir; the pump willbe severely damaged and couldseize. Oil quality: see Ç Lubricants and
fluids È. Engine oilCheck with the vehicle on level
ground, and the engine off for atleast 10 minutes.
Take out the oil dipstick.The level must be between the MAX
and MIN marks on the dips-
tick. Adding engine oil Remove the dipstick before topping up. Check the level after filling.It must not exceed the maximum mark. The oil level should be topped up between services (up to 0.5 l every600 miles). Screw on the cap before shutting the bonnet. Oil quality:
see Ç Lubricants and
fluids È.

LEVELS65IV-5
Beware: When working under the bonnet, the cooling fan could operate if the engi-
ne is hot (even when switched off).
Topping up the cooling system The coolant level should be between the MAXIMUM and MINIMUM marks on the header tank.
Top up the level. If more than I litre is required to top up, have
the cooling system checked by your dealer. Ensure that the cap is fully tightened to the second notch. Note:
Frequent topping up could indicate a fault within the cooling system.
Have it checked as soon as possible.The replacement of the coolant must be carried out by the dealer network. Coolant The antifreeze in the coolant protects against low temperatures and provides anti-corrosion protection and resistance to high operating temperatures.However these properties degrade progressively with time. Oil quality: see Ç Lubricants and fluids È.
Radiator - coolantThe coolant must only be checked or topped up if the engine is cold. Engine hot:
Wait 15 minutes or until the tempe- rature is below 100 degrees C.Using a cloth to protect your hands,slowly slacken the filler cap as far
as the safety catch. Allow the pres-sure to reduce before removingfiller cap.
