Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in

● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.

Instruments and warning lamps
Note
● Differ ent
versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings
and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbol
s are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Odometer

les “m”. It is possible to change the measurement units (kilometres
“km”/mile

s “m”) in the radio/Easy Connect*.
Please refer to the Easy Connect* Instructions
Manual for more details.
Odometer/trip recorder
The odometer shows the total distance cov-
ered by the vehicle.
The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is
used to measure short trips. The last digit of
the trip recorder indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by press-
ing 0.0/SET

Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the
letters DEF will appear in the trip recorder
display. Have the fault repaired immediately,
as far as is possible. Coolant temperature gauge Fig. 113

In order to avoid engine damage, please read
the following notes for the different tempera-

Engine cold
If only the diodes in the lower part of the
scale light up, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached operating temperature.
Avoid high revs and heavy acceleration and
do not make the engine work hard. »

Operation
Normal temperature
If in norm
al
operations, the diodes light up
until the central zone, it means that the en-
gine has reached operating temperature. At
high outside temperatures and when making
the engine work hard, the diodes may contin-
ue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This
is no cause for concern, provided the control
lamp  does not light up on the instrument
panel digital display.
Heat range
When the LEDs light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp  appears
on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperature is too high ››› page 210. CAUTION
● To en s

ure a long useful life for the engine,
avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm al-
so depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature*
››› page 207 as a guide.
● Additional lights and other accessories in
front of
the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the c
ooling air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the c
oo

ling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Fuel level gauge

Fuel gauge. The fuel gauge

Fig. 114 operates only
when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 li-
tres. When the needle reaches the fuel re-
serve area there are only approximately 7 li-
tres left in the tank. In the general instrument
panel a warning signal lights up  and an
audible signal sounds.
The informative display indicates:
Refuel! Fuel range…km...(miles) CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregu-
larity in the f

uel supply system can cause ir-
regularities when the engine is running. Un-
burned fuel can reach the exhaust gas sys-
tem, which can cause deterioration of the cat-
alytic converter. Note
● Some v ehic

les come fitted with the fuel
gauge on the general instrument panel.
● The message on the display switches off
only af
ter refuelling and carrying out a short
journey. Control lamps

 page 10 The rear lid opening system operates electri-
cally

. It is activated by using the handle on
the boot lid.
This system may or may not be operative, de-
pending on the situation of the vehicle.
If the rear lid is locked then it cannot be
opened, however if it is unlocked then the
opening system is operative and the rear lid
may be opened.
To lock/unlock, press the  button or the 
button on the remote control key.
A warning appears on the instrument panel
display if the boot lid is open or not properly
closed.* An audible warning is also given if
the boot lid is opened while the vehicle is
moving faster than 6 km/h (4 mph)*. WARNING
● Alw a

ys close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with y
our hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it m
ay open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear lid and all the other doors when you are not
us
in

g the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensurin
g it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may penetrate into the
interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key in
side. The vehicle will not be opened
if the key is left inside. Note
● Once the r e

ar lid is closed, its lock is en-
gaged and the alarm system is activated. On-
ly valid if the vehicle has been locked before
the rear lid is closed.
● The release catch located at the top of the
regi
stration plate recess is deactivated on ac-
celerating or at speeds of over 5 km/h (3
mph). The catch is reactivated when the vehi-
cle comes to a standstill and a door is

closed (ignition off), the audi-
ble warning will stop, whereas the side lights
will remain on to light up the stationary vehi-
cle in case this is necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the lights
may mist up temporarily on
the inside. This is particularly the case in the
event of a difference in temperature between
the inside and in front of the light. By switch-
ing on the lights, the area through which the
beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted, although the edges may remain
misted. The real lights and turn signals can
mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. Control lamps

Automatic control of the dipped beam in
combination with the daytime running lights
If the dipped beam control and the daytime
running lights are activated at the same
time, the dipped beams and the instrument
panel lighting will automatically come on as
required (e.g. when entering a tunnel) and
the daytime running lights will switch off.
When the automatic dipped beam control
switches off the dipped beams (e.g. when
coming out of a tunnel), the daytime running
lights come back on. WARNING
The rear lights do not come on with the day-
time drivin g light

. A vehicle which does not
have the rear lights on may not be visible to
other drivers in the darkness, if it is raining
or in conditions of poor visibility. 122
