The dte mode includes
alow range warning feature.
If the fuel level is low, the warning is displayed on
the screen.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte dis-
play will change to “———”.
• If the amount of fuel added is small, the distance
to empty shown just before the ignition switch is
placed in the “OFF” position may continue to be
displayed.
• When driving uphill or rounding curves, the fuel
in the tank shifts, which may momentarily change
the display.
Odometer/Twin trip odometer:
The odometer/twin trip odometer is displayed in the
vehicle information display when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
The odometer ➀displays the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer ➁displays the distance of
individual trips.
Changing twin trip odometer display:
Push the switch ➂(located on the
instrument panel) to change the display as follows:
TRIP A →TRIP B →ODOMETER →TRIP A
Resetting twin trip odometer:
Push and hold the switch ➂for
more than 1second to reset the trip odometer to
zero. Odometer (models without colour
display)
Odometer/twin trip odometer:
The odometer/twin trip odometer is displayed when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The odometer
➀displays the total distance the
vehicle has been driven.
The twin trip odometer ➁displays the distance of
individual trips.
Changing trip odometer display:
Push the trip odometer reset switch ➂to change
the display as follows:
TRIP A →TRIP B →Trip computer mode →TRIP A
For trip computer information, see “Trip computer”
later in this section.
Resetting trip odometer:
While TRIP AorTRIPBisd isplayed push and hold
the trip odometer reset switch ➂for approximately
1s econd to reset the trip odometer to zero.
For further information, see “Trip computer” later in
this section. TACHOMETER AND ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
The tachometer indicates the engine speed in revo-
lutions per minute (rpm).
Do not rev the engine
into the red zone j
A.
The red zone varies with models.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the
engine coolant temperature.
The engine coolant temperature is normal when the
gauge needle points within the zone ➀shown in
the illustration.
The engine coolant temperature will vary with the
outside air temperature and driving conditions. NIC2705

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
When the DPF warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the speci- fied amount of the limit in the filter and the filter
needs to regenerate. For filter regeneration details,
see “Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warning light
on without performing the filter regeneration, this
will lead to particulate matter overload in the fil-
ter.
If this occurs, then the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) will turn on. The performance of the engine
might be limited to protect the DPF system. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop to per-
form the service regeneration. Door open warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely. Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) warning light illuminates and then turns off. The warning light blinks when the ESP system is
operating.
When the warning light blinks while driving, the driv-
ing condition is slippery and the vehicle’s traction
limit is about to be exceeded.
If the ESP warning light illuminates while the engine
is running or while driving, it may indicate that the
ESP system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop promptly. If amalfunction occurs, the
ESP function is turned off, but the vehicle is still driv-
able. (See “Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.) Engine oil pressure warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.
If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop
the engine immediately and call an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. CAUTION
• Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light illuminated could cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
• The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate
alow oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.
(See “Checking engine oil level” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.) Engine temperature warning
light (red/blue) (where fitted)
High temperature indicator light (Red):
The red warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. WARNING
If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high. Stop the
vehicle safely as soon as possible. If the vehicle
is overheated, continuing vehicle operation may
seriously damage the engine.
• If the engine coolant temperature warning
light (RED) comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• When towing
atrailer or driving uphill, reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible
to decrease the engine coolant temperature.

OPERATING TIPS (models with
automatic air conditioner)
When the engine coolant temperature and outside
air temperature are low, the air flow from the foot
outlets may not operate. However, this is not amal-
function. After the coolant temperature warms up,
the air flow from the foot outlets will operate nor-
mally. The sensors
jAa ndjB, located on the instrument
panel, help maintain aconstant temperature. Do not
put anything on or around the sensors. SAA2324Z

During the first 1,600 km (1,000 miles), follow these
recommendations to obtain maximum engine per-
formance and ensure the future reliability and
economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these
recommendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
• Do not drive at
aconstant speed, either fast or
slow, for long periods of time.
• Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
• Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
• Do not start quickly.
• Do not brake hard as much as possible.
• Do not tow
atrailer for at least the first 800 km
(500 miles). WARNING
The driving characteristics of your vehicle will
change remarkably by any additional load and its
distribution, as well as by adding optional equip-
ment (trailer coupling, roof rail, etc.). Your driv-
ing style and speed must be adjusted according
to the circumstances. Especially when carrying
heavy loads, your speed must be reduced ad-
equately.
• Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear.
• Check fluid levels such as engine oil, coolant,
brake (and clutch) fluid, window washer fluid as
frequently as possible, at least whenever you
refuel.
• Visually inspect tyres for their appearance and
condition. Measure and check the tyre pressure
for proper inflation.
• Check that all windows and lights are clean.
• Adjust the seat and head restraint positions.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirror po-
sitions.
• Fasten your seat belt and ask all passengers to
do the same.
• Check that all doors are closed.
• Check the operation of the warning lights when
the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position. •
Maintenance items in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section should be checked peri-
odically.
