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

perature and pressure in the cooling
system increase.

unscrew the cap by two turns to allow
the pressure to drop,
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.
