The LPG tank ⇒ in the spare wheel well has a capacity of 39 litres at an
outside temperature of 15 °C ⇒page 216, “Refuelling with LPG”.
The charge level can be checked on the analogue gas gauge located on the
instrument panel ⇒fig. 35. When the level reaches reserve, a notification
text is displayed on the screen. Refill with LPG at the earliest opportunity.
If, while driving in LPG mode, a sudden warning signal is heard and the
warning LPG fault, contact workshop is displayed on the screen
5), it means
that there is a fault in the LPG system. Take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to check the LPG system.
WARNING
LPG is a highly explosive and inflammable substance. It may cause severe
burns and other injury.•Due care must be taken to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.•When parking the vehicle in a closed area (for example in a garage),
make sure that there is adequate ventilation, either natural or mechanical,
to neutralise the LPG in the event of a leak.Note
•The values shown in the average fuel consumption and distance to empty
indications on the multifunction display (MFI)
6) on the instrument panel
5) are
approximate values only.
•Two different consumption values are given on the MFI, depending on
whether the vehicle is running in GAS or Petrol mode.•Please check the fuel level on the fuel level gauge on the instrument panel
⇒ page 58•If frequent short journeys are made, especially when the outside temper-
ature is low, the vehicle will tend to run on petrol more often than on LPG.
Therefore, the petrol tank may empty before the LPG tank.

z
This symbol lights up to indicate that the fuel tank is under
the reserve level.It lights up when only 7 litres of fuel remain in the tank. You will also hear a
warning signal. It reminds you to fuel up the fuel tank as soon as possible
⇒ page 214.
The instrument panel displays the following message
11): PLEASE REFUEL! .
Coolant level* / temperature
v
The warning lamp lights up if the coolant temperature is too
high or if the coolant level is too low.There is a fault if:•The warning symbol does not go out again after a few seconds.•The warning lamp lights up or flashes while the vehicle is moving, and
three acoustic warning signals ⇒ are emitted.
This means that either the coolant level is too low or the coolant temperature
is too high.
Coolant temperature too high
The instrument panel displays the following message
12): CHECK COOLANT
INSTRUCTION MANUAL ⇒ page 228.
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 the engine off 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 254.
If the warning lamp lights up again after driving on for a short distance, stop
the vehicle and switch the engine off . Contact an Authorised Ser vice Centre
or a specialised workshop.
