64Coolant temperature too high
First look at the coolant temperature gauge. The coolant temperature is too 
high if the needle is over the warning area on the dial.  Stop the vehicle, 
switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down. Check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction 
of the radiator fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have it replaced if neces-
sary  ⇒page 213.
If the warning lamp lights up again  after driving on for a short distance,  stop 
the vehicle and switch off the engine. Contact an Authorised Service Centre 
or a qualified workshop.
Coolant level too low
First look at the coolant temperature gauge. If the needle is in the normal 
range, top up with coolant at the earliest opportunity  ⇒.

•
If your vehicle is immobilised for any technical reasons, move it to a 
safe distance from traffic. Turn off the engine, turn on the hazard lights and 
place the warning triangle.
•
Never open the bonnet if you can see or hear steam or coolant escaping 
from the engine compartment. Risk of scalding. Wait until you can no 
longer see or hear escaping steam or coolant.

The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a dangerous area! 
Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, switch off the 
engine and allow it to cool down. Alwa ys note the corresponding warnings

Fuel level / reserve 
This symbol lights up to indicate that the fuel tank is down to 
the reserve level.This lights when only 7 litres of  fuel remain in the tank. Also, an  audible 
warning  is given. This serves as a reminder to fill up with fuel at the earliest 
opportunity  ⇒page 177.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 automatic 
test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
The 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.

144Adjusting set speed*
The speed can be altered without touching the accelerator or 
the brake.Setting a higher speed
– Press the upper part  RES of the rocker switch  ⇒fig. 108  to 
increase the speed. The vehicle will continue to accelerate for as 
long as you keep the rocker switch pressed. When you release 
the switch, the new speed is stored.
Setting a lower speed
– Press the lower part SET–  of the rocker switch   to reduce the 
speed. The vehicle will automatically reduce its speed for as long 
as you keep the switch pressed. When you release the switch, the 
new speed is stored.
When you increase speed with the accelerator and then release the pedal, the 
system will automatically restore the set speed. This will not be the case, 
however, if the vehicle speed is more  than 10 km/h higher than the stored 
speed for longer than 5 minutes. The speed will have to be stored again.
Control of the set speed is switched off if you reduce speed by depressing the 
brake pedal. Reactivate the control by pressing once on the upper part of the 
rocker switch RES+  ⇒ fig. 108  .

Some of the electrical items listed in
 the table are only fitted on certain 
models or are optional extras.
Please note that the above list, while correct at the time of printing, is subject 
to alterations.
Bulb changeGeneral notesBefore changing any bulb, first  turn off the equipment concerned.
Do not touch the bulb glass. Fingerprints vaporise in the heat, causing a 
reduction in the bulb life and condensation on the mirror surface, thus 
reducing efficiency.
A bulb should only be replaced by one  of the same type. The type is inscribed 
on the bulb, either on the glass part or on the base.
It is highly recommended to keep a box of spare bulbs in the vehicle. At the 
very least, the bulbs that most affect road safety should have spares in the 
vehicle. Rear lights on frame
