If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause
once the engine has cooled
down. See Engine coolant check
(page 148).

symbol indicates on which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler cap is located.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators illuminate when the ignition is
switched on:

Engine warning lamp
If it illuminates with the engine
running, this indicates a
malfunction. If it flashes when
you are driving, reduce the speed of
your vehicle immediately. If it
continues to flash, avoid heavy
acceleration or deceleration. Have the
system checked by a properly trained
technician immediately. CAUTION
If the engine warning lamp illuminates
in conjunction with a message, have
the system checked as soon as
possible. Front fog lamp indicator
It will illuminate when you switch
the front fog lamps on.
Frost warning lamp WARNING
Even if the temperature rises to
above +4ºC there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards
caused by inclement weather. It will illuminate and glow orange
when the outside air
temperature is between 4ºC
(39ºF) and 1ºC (34ºF). It will glow red when
the temperature is below 1ºC (34ºF).
Glow plug indicator See (page 101). Headlamp indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the headlamp dipped beam or
the side and tail lamps on.
Ignition warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a

correct. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician
immediately. 65
Instruments

If it stays on after starting or
illuminates when driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch the engine off. Check the
engine oil level. See Engine oil check
(page 147).

trained technician as soon as possible.
Rear fog lamp indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the rear fog lamps on.
Seat belt reminder See
Seat belt reminder
(page 24).
Shift indicator It will illuminate to inform you
that shifting to a higher gear
may give better fuel economy
and lower CO2 emissions. It will not
illuminate during periods of high
acceleration, braking or when the clutch
pedal is pressed. Stability control (ESP) indicator While driving, it flashes during
activation of the system. After
switching on the ignition, if it
does not illuminate or illuminates
continuously while driving, this indicates
a malfunction. During a malfunction, the
system switches off. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician
as soon as possible.
If you switch ESP off, the warning lamp

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside air
Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Recirculated air
CAUTION
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen. The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
Air conditioning
Note:The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4ºC (39ºF).
Note:If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.
Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.
General information on
controlling the interior climate
Fully close all the windows. Warming the interior
Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some
of the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.
Cooling the interior
Direct the air towards your face.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
The system controls the temperature,
amount and distribution of the air flow
automatically and adjusts them according
to the driving and weather conditions.
Pressing the
AUTObutton once switches
on the auto mode.
The system in your vehicle is dual-zone
automatic climate control. When the
system is in mono mode, all the
temperature zones are linked to the
driver's zone. When you switch mono
mode off, the dual-zone system allows
you to set different temperatures for the
driver's and front passenger's side. Note:Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The automatic climate controladjusts to the current circumstancesautomatically. For the system to functionproperly, the side and centre vents shouldbe fully open.
Note:The sunload sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor with any objects.
Note:At low outside temperatures, when
the system is in auto mode, the air stream will be directed to the windscreen and theside windows as long as the engine iscold.
