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,

approximately 30 miles (50 km) worth
of fuel left after the warning light first
comes on.

#Engine oil change warning
light
This lights up on the instrument panel
when an oil change is required.
Change the oil or have it changed as
soon as possible.
Only the distance travelled between two
oil changes is taken into account; the
time interval between two oil changes
is not.
The oil should always be changed
when the first threshold is reached, i.e.
either the distance travelled or the inter-
val specified in your vehicle’s mainte-
nance document. This means you may
have to change the oil before the warn-
ing light comes on.
Refer to the information on the “Oil
change” in Section 4.

j) Mileage before service
Distance remaining until the next oil change.
There are several scenarios:
– mileage before oil change service less than 1000 miles Warning light
Ê on the instrument panel comes on accompanied by the message
“1000 miles”.
– mileage before oil change service 0 miles. Warning light
Ê on the
instrument panel comes on accompanied by the message “--- miles”.
The distance appears on the display for approximately 8 seconds when
the ignition is switched on as soon as the distance is less than or equa\
l
to 1000 miles. The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accor\
ding to the driving style (frequent driving at low
speed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trai\
ler etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil ch ange
can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distan\
ce travelled.
The oil change intervals are independent of the vehicle’s maintenance schedule: please refer to your vehicle’s maintenance do-
cument.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before an oil change, press and hold the display r\
eset button for approximately 10 seconds until
the display shows the range permanently.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using oil or fuel additives which are not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.
