Temperature of the engine oil*
Do not demand full performance from the engine when the engine
oil is cold. If in exceptional conditions the indicator is in the upper
area, reduce the revolutions. The needle should return to the
normal range.
If the needle remains in the upper zone, stop the vehicle and turn
the engine off. Check the oil level in the engine. If the oil level is
correct and the oil pressure pilot lamp does not switch off when
you turn the engine on, drive to the nearest Technical Service
Centre, avoiding high revolutions.
K
Revolutions counter*
On no account must the revolutions counter needle move into the
red zone of the scale.

continuously.
• The minutes are set by turning the button clockwise until it stops.
By turning the knob once, you move forward one minute. By
turning and holding the knob, the minutes move forward
continuously.
The knob can be used to set the clock to the exact second.
• Turn the knob to the right until the time is set to exactly one
minute before the required time.
• Turn the button to the right just as the seconds indicator of an
accurately set clock shows one full minute.
Turning the button to the left sets the clock to the required arrow.
K
Outside temperature indicator*
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is on.
At temperatures from +5°C to –5°C, a snowflake symbol is

Coolant temperature/level
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds as a functional check
when ignition is switched on.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or lights up or flashes while
driving the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too
low. An acoustic signal will sound three times as an additional
warning:
Stop immediately, stop engine and check level. If necessary add
coolant. The coolant type is detailed in the "Coolant system"
chapter.
If the coolant level is in order the trouble may be due to failure of
the radiator fan. In this case, check radiator fan fuse and replace if
necessary.
If the warning lamp does not go out even though coolant level and
fan fuse are in order,d do

If the trouble is located only in the radiator fan and the coolant
level is in order and temperature warning lamp is off – you may
drive on to the nearest Technical Service Centre. To make use of the
air stream for cooling do not let engine idle nor drive very slowly.
