necessary, add coolant. The coolant type to be used is described in
the "Coolant system" chapter.
If the level is in order the failure may be due to the fan. In thiscase,
check the radiator fan fuse and replace, if necessary.

assistance.
If the trouble is located only in the radiator fan and the coolant

of the air stream for cooling purposes, neither allow engine idle
nor drive very slowly.A Al

is no longer being driven. The belt must be checked or replaced.
If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not

Service Centre.
Since the battery will continue to discharge it is advisable to switch
off all unessential electrical consumers.

The corresponding warning lamp is:
"FASTEN SEAT BELT".
This warning lamp (only in some countries) lights up for about 6
seconds when the ignition is switched on as a reminder to fasten

symbol is an indication of danger. The function must be checked as
soon as possible. If there are several failures at the same time, the

When the hazard warning lamps are switched on, all four signal
lights flash simultaneously. The warning lamps for the indicators
and a warning lamp in the switch will also flash.

Parking distance control (PDC)*6
This system helps prevent small bumps which may occur while
parking, especially in city traffic when parking between other cars.
If the appropriate switch (PDC) in the centre console is pressed, the
sensors in the vehicle’s bumper warn the driver of the proximity of
objects with an intermittent beep and a warning lamp. This
warning occurs when the distance between vehicle and obstacle is
40cm. The beep speeds up until it becomes continuous, when the
distance is approximately 20cm.
