Coolant temperature gauge Under 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 needle enters the red zone and the STOP warning lamp flashes, stop
immediately, switch off ignition, the cooling fan may continue to operate for
a certain time , let the engine cool down and take the precautions indicated in
chapter ÒMAINTENANCEÓ - Levels and Checks. This over-heating may be due to a number of causes, contact the nearest
approved dealer. Fuel gauge When the low level warning lamp comes on continuously with the vehicle on level ground, there remain approximately 7 litres of fuel in the tank. Reservoir capacity (in litres) :
Petrol : 55
Diesel : 60

Radiator - engine coolant
The coolant level should only be checked when the engine is cold. The level must always be between the MINI and MAXI marks on the vertical part ofthe radiator (water tank, cap side) for petrol engines, or in the reservoir ope-ning for diesel engines. The coolant contains an anti-freeze which not only enables it to withstand low temperatures (original protection to minus 37¡C) but also makes it anti-corrosive and resistant to high temperatures.
