WARNING LIGHTS (3/7)
A
ÀOil pressure warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it lights up on the road and, depend-
ing on the vehicle, is accompanied by
a beep, stop immediately and cut the
ignition.
Check the oil level (refer to “Engine oil
level: general information” in Section 4).
If the level is normal, the light has come
on for another reason: Consult an au-
thorised dealer straight away.
ÉPreheating warning light (on
diesel version)
This should come on when the igni-
tion is switched on. It indicates that the
heater plugs are in operation. It goes
out after preheating is sufficient and the
engine can be started.
åAirbag warning light
This lights up when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after
a few seconds. If it does not light up
when the ignition is switched on, if it
lights up when the engine is running,
or if it flashes, it indicates a fault in the
system.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
ÚBattery charge warning light
It should go out as soon as the
engine starts.
If it comes on when you are driving, it
indicates that the circuit is overcharged
or has discharged. Stop and consult an
authorised dealer as soon as possible.
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it does not go out after the ignition is
switched on, or lights up when driving,
there is a fault with the ABS. Braking
will then be as normal, without the ABS
system.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
LLow fuel level warning light This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after
a few seconds. If it comes on when
driving and, depending on the vehicle,
is accompanied by a beep, fill up with
fuel as soon as possible. There is only
approximately 30 miles (50 km) worth
of fuel left after the warning light first
comes on.
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Reading the oil levelThe oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.

B
A
B
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle .
Contact an authorised dealer.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been comple-
ted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed
in as far as it will go or that the “cap-
type dipstick” is completely screwed in.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (1/3)
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day). – Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on dipstick 2 is
between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending
on the engine);
– wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Do not exceed the MAX level and
do not forget to refit dipstick 2 and
cap 1.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will
need to reset the oil change warning.
To do this, after switching on the igni-
tion, for ten seconds you must:
– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,
– with your foot on the accelerator, de-press the brake pedal three times in
succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case: if you change the oil
before the oil change interval exceeded
warning is displayed, it will also be nec-
essary to reset the display. In this case,
the
# warning light comes on for
approximately 5 seconds to confirm the
reset.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle .
Contact an authorised dealer.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).

OPERATING FAULTS (2/5)
On the roadPOSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or
damaged. Check the tyre pressures; if this is not the cause, have
their condition checked by an approved dealer.
Coolant boiling in the coolant
reservoir. Mechanical fault: cylinder head
gasket damaged, faulty coolant
pump. Stop the engine.
Contact an approved dealer.
Engine cooling fan not working. Contact an approved dealer.
Smoke under the bonnet. Short circuit or cooling system
leak. Stop, switch off the ignition, move away from the vehi-
cle and contact an approved dealer.
The oil pressure warning light
comes on: on a bend or under braking The engine oil level is too low. Top up the engine oil level (refer to the information on “Engine oil level: topping up/filling” in Section 4).
at idle speed Low oil pressure. Go to your nearest approved dealer.
The oil pressure warning
light takes a long time to
go out or remains lit during
acceleration. Loss of oil pressure.
Stop the vehicle: contact an approved dealer.

OPERATING FAULTS (4/5)
Radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by the Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Whistling Roof aerial poorly positioned. Position the aerial.
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator light comes
on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
check the coolant reservoir: it should con-
tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved dealer as soon as possible.
The oil change warning light remains
lit after an oil change. Warning not reset after oil change.
Reset the warning after changing the oil;
refer to the information in the paragraph on
the “On-board computer” in Section 1.
