Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauger=> page 10,
Fig. 3@ only works when the ignition is switched
on. In order to avoid possible damage to the en
gine, please read the following notes for the dif
ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
The LEDs will settle somewhere in the centre of
the display once the engine has reached operat
ing temperature. If the warning lamp. lights
up on the infotainment display, the coolant tem
perature is too high r=> page 14.
10 CD
CAUTION
-Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assista nee.
i Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.
Fuel gauge
The gauge @only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, a red LED will light up and the indicator
lamp I]] will appear r=> page 18. The LED will
flash in red if the fuel level is very low.
