Coolant temperature/level
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds as a functional check
when ignition is switched on.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or lights up or flashes while
driving the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too
low. An acoustic signal will sound three times as an additional
warning:
Stop immediately, stop engine and check level. If necessary add
coolant. The coolant type is detailed in the "Coolant system"
chapter.
If the coolant level is in order the trouble may be due to failure of
the radiator fan. In this case, check radiator fan fuse and replace if
necessary.
If the warning lamp does not go out even though coolant level and
fan fuse are in order,d do
o nno

. Call in expert assistance.
If the trouble is located only in the radiator fan and the coolant
level is in order and temperature warning lamp is off – you may
drive on to the nearest Technical Service Centre. To make use of the
air stream for cooling do not let engine idle nor drive very slowly.

Depending on the model version or the country, please keep in mind that
some of the messages may not appear in the fitted equipment* of your
vehicle or they may not correspond to the ones described in this
Instructions Manual as date of print.
For this reason, we recommend that for additional information you also
check carefully the "Warning lamps" chapter where you will find the different
symbols and a description of their operation.
While the ignition is switched on and you are driving the onboard
computer continuously checks the functioning of certain systems
and components of the vehicle.
Malfunctioning, repair work or urgent servicing is indicated by
acoustic signals and, depending on the priority, by red and yellow
warning lamps in the instrument panel.
In addition to red and yellow symbolsi in

the "Coolant system" chapter.
If the level is in order the failure may be due to the fan. In thiscase,
check the radiator fan fuse and replace, if necessary.

If the trouble is located only in the radiator fan and the coolant

The corresponding warning lamp is:

The warning lamp lights up when switching on the ignition. It must

The alternator is driven by a long-life ribbed belt.

since the coolant pump
is no longer being driven. The belt must be checked or replaced.
If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not
broken or loose, one can proceed normally to the nearest Technical
Service Centre.
Since the battery will continue to discharge it is advisable to switch
off all unessential electrical consumers.

The corresponding warning lamp is:
"FASTEN SEAT BELT".
This warning lamp (only in some countries) lights up for about 6
seconds when the ignition is switched on as a reminder to fasten
your seat belts.
If the seat belt is not fastened an acoustic signal will sound after
switching on the ignition which will stop after about 6 seconds or
when the seat belt is fastened.
⇒"Seat belts" chapter.K
Priority 2 (yellow symbols)
An acoustic signal will sound if a yellow symbol appears. The
symbol is an indication of danger. The function must be checked as
soon as possible. If there are several failures at the same time, the
symbols will appear consecutively for about 2 seconds.

lock.
The system is automatically activated when the ignition is switched
