check the coolant temperature being displayed.
If the needle is in the normal zone, top the coolant up at the next
opportunity.
If the reading is in the right hand area, the temperature of the coolant level

Additional lights in front of the cooling air intake interfere with the flow of
cooling air. At high ambient temperatures and full throttle there isa danger
that the engine will then overheat.
K
Fuel gauge
The gauge starts to work when the ignition is switched on. The
warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional check
when the ignition is switched on.
The tank holds about 45 litres.
When the needle moves to the red reserve zone, warning light
d
lights up at the same time that an acoustic warning signal is
produced; this means that approximately 7 litres of fuel remain.
K
Speedometer
The speedometer is fitted with a digital mileage clock and a trip
mileage clock, as well as a service interval indicator*.
During the running in period you must note the instructions in the
chapter "The first 1,500 km and afterwards".

Digital clock*
The digital clock is set by turning a knob that is on the bottom right
next to the speedometer.
• The hours are set by turning the button anti-clockwise until it
stops. By turning the knob once, you move forward one hour. By
turning and holding the knob, the hours move forward
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.

Multifunction indicator*
The multifunction indicator includes:
• Time
• Driving time
• Average speed
• Distance driven
• Autonomy
• Average fuel consumption
• Instant consumption
• Exterior temperature
The function selector and the "reset" button are located in the
windshield wiper lever.
With the ignition switched on, repeatedly press the upper or lower
part of the function selector and each of the functions will be
displayed consecutively.

• The desired service message must be reset in each case. If not, the time
frame for another service could be incorrect. You can change from one
message to another by pressing the reset button.• Do not reset the indicator between two service intervals. Otherwise, the
indication could be erroneous.
• The values are saved even if the battery of the vehicle is disconnected.
• If the combined instrument is replaced after repair work, the service

– the coolant pump is no
longer being driven. The belt must be checked/ renewed.
If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not
broken or loose, you can generally wait to have this checked at the
next scheduled service.
As the battery will continue to discharge, all electrical consumers
which are not absolutely necessary should be switched off.

Parking light/dipped beam
Dipped beam, parking or side light pilot light (green). Works with
the ignition off.
K
Power steering*
The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional
check when the ignition is switched on.
The warning lamp comes on when the hydraulic oil level is not
sufficient or in case of a failure in the electrical system.
An acoustic signal warns the driver (1 bip).
