If the lamp flashes and a tone is heard at the same time when
driving, first check the coolant temperature being displayed.
If the needle is in the normal zone, top the coolant up at the next
opportunity.
If the reading is in the right hand area, the temperature of the
coolant level is too high. S St

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
