If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 190).

Note: Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been resolved.

Fuel Gauge

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much remains
in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when your vehicle is moving or on
a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the fuel
pump symbol indicates on which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will illuminate when you start your
vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.

Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.

Airbag - Front

If it fails to illuminate when you
start your vehicle, continues to
flash or remains on, it indicates

a malfunction. Have the system checked
by your authorized dealer.

Anti-Lock Braking System

If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You will continue

to have the normal braking system
(without ABS) unless the brake system
warning lamp is also illuminated. Have the
system checked by your authorized dealer.

If it illuminates while driving, it
indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical

equipment and have the system checked
by your authorized dealer immediately.

Brake System

It will illuminate when you
engage the parking brake with
the ignition on.

If it illuminates when you are driving, check
that the parking brake is not engaged. If
the parking brake is not engaged, this

system malfunction. Have the system
checked immediately by your authorized
dealer.

WARNING

Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance

may occur. It will take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked by
your authorized dealer immediately. Driving
extended distances with the parking brake
engaged can cause brake failure and the
risk of personal injury.
