•The coolant is too hot and the engine is no
longer being cooled sufficiently.
Observe the additional display messages in the
vehicle information display.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
Leave the vehicle and keep a safe distance from
the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
Check the coolant level and top up the coolant,
observing the warning notes (seeIf your ve-
hicle overheatsin the6. In case of emergency
section).
If you have to top up the coolant frequently,
have the engine cooling system checked.
Make sure that the air supply to the engine
radiator is not blocked, e. g. by frozen slush.
Do not start the engine again until the coolant
temperature is below 250
oF (120oC). The
engine may otherwise be damaged.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the
fuel tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge
reaches 0 (Empty).There will be a small reserve
of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge reaches 0
(Empty).
Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light
The VDC warning light blinks when the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operating,
thus alerting the driver to the fact that the road
surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its
traction limits.
You may feel or hear the system working, this is
normal.
The light will continue to blink for a few seconds
after the VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
