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).
Fuel gauge
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
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:
• Airbag
• Oil pressure
• ABS
• Stability control (ESP)
• Engine
• Doors open
• Brake system
• Frost
• Power steering
• Ignition
If a warning or indicator lamp does not
illuminate when the ignition is switched
on, it indicates a malfunction. Have the
system checked by properly trained
technician.
ABS warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You will continue
to have normal braking (without ABS).
Have the system checked by a properly
trained technician as soon as possible. Airbag warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician.
Brake system lamp It illuminates when the parking
brake is engaged.
WARNING
Reduce your speed gradually and
stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so. Use your brakes with
care. If it illuminates when you are driving, check
that the parking brake is not engaged. If
the parking brake is not engaged, this
indicates a malfunction. Have the system
checked by a properly trained technician
immediately.
Cruise control indicator
It will illuminate when you have
set a speed using the cruise
control system. See
Using
cruise control (page 120).
Direction indicators Flashes during operation. A
sudden increase in the rate of
flashing warns of a failed
indicator bulb. See Changing a bulb

AUXILIARY HEATER
Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and theambient temperature is below 15°C(59°F). The heater will not operate if thebattery is low.
Note:The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.
Note:When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This isnormal.
Note:On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, airdistribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:
• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
