is normal or whether a fault has oc-
curred.
Indicator and warning lights
Visual indicators which inform the driv-
er when a system comes into opera-
tion (operation or deactivation indicator
lights) or of the occurrence of a fault
(warning light).
Associated warnings
The lighting of certain indicator/warning
lights may be accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the multifunction
display. Operation indicator lights

Coolant temperature indicator
System which informs the driver of the
changes in the temperature of the engine
coolant while driving.

 when the pressure has dropped, re-
move the cap,

 top up the level to the "MAX" mark. Engine oil temperature
indicator

On petrol engines, the cooling of
the engine is managed electroni-
cally to improve consumption. Con-
sequently, the coolant temperature
levels are no longer simply linked
with the external ambient condi-
tions and the use of the vehicle.
For example, in town, it is normal
for the coolant temperature to be
slightly higher in cold weather than
in hot weather.
