check the coolant temperature being displayed.
If the needle is in the normal zone, top the coolant up at the next
opportunity.

d
lights up at the same time that an acoustic warning signal is
produced; this means that approximately 7 litres of fuel remain.

When towing the car with the engine shut down or in case of a breakdown
in the servo-steering mechanism, the power steering remains out of order.
Nonetheless, the vehicle continues to be steerable even though the effort to
handle the steering wheel is bigger.

Main beam
The warning lamp comes on when main beam is on or when the
headlight flasher is used.
K
Fuel level*
The warning lamp comes on when there are about 7 litres left in
the tank. The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a
functional check when the ignition is switched on.
K
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)*
A warning lamp system monitors the ABS.
The warning lamp should light up for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on. It goes out again after the system has run
through an automatictest sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
• The ABS warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is
switched on.
• The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds.
• The warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the
ABS control function is out of action). Take the vehicle to the
Authorised Technical Service as soon as possible. For more
information
⇒pages 131 to 134.
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light
up*.
Brakes
The warning lamp comes on when the brake fluid level is too low.
The ignition must be switched on.
In vehicles with the Anti-locking Brake System (ABS), the warning
lamp will light up for a few seconds after switching the ignition on
or starting the engine. If the ABS system fails, the brake system
warning lamp may light up together with the ABS warning lamp.

It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
TCS operates in conjunction with the ABS. For more information
⇒“Brakes”.K
Electronic stabilisation program (ESP)*
This program includes the ABS, EDL and TCS.
The warning light provides information on the electronic
stabilisation programme and has the following functions:
• It lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out
again after a few seconds.
• It flashes when the ESP is activated when driving.
• It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
• It will light up continuously if the ESP is switched off.
• It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
ESP operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the ESP warning lamp lights up and stays on immediately after
the engine is started, this may mean that the control system has
temporarily switched off the ESP. In this case the ESP can be
reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. If the
warning lamp goes out, this means the system is fully functional.

control" chapter.
K
Engine oil pressure/level*
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds as a functional check
when ignition is switched on.
If the warning lamp is red or yellow or flashes it indicates that the
engine oil pressure or level is too low. This warning lamp will also
