If the oil level indicator is defective an acoustic signal will sound
and the warning lamp will flash several times.
At the same time the onboard computer will display a warning for a
short time
⇒"Onboard computer" chapter. Take the vehicle to a
Technical Service Centre as soon as possible to have the engine
checked.
From the moment of the defect to the check-up of the engine the
oil level needs to be checked regularly, preferably when filling the
tank.

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
o nno

. Call in expert assistance.
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.

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