WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.

At normal operating temperature, the
needle will remain in the center section.

cause of overheating has been resolved.

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 222).

indicate approximately how much fuel is

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

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.
