Plug the connector into the bulb holder.

Note

Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
the number plate lights may be LEDs. LEDs
have an estimated life that exceeds than that
of the car. If a light with LEDs fails, go to an
authorised workshop for replacement.

WARNING

Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the risk of injury.

●

Do not operate the instrument panel con-

trols when driving.

CAUTION

●

To prevent damage to the engine, the rev

counter needle should only remain in the red
zone for a short period of time.

●

When the engine is cold, avoid high revs

and heavy acceleration and do not make the
engine work hard.

For the sake of the environment

Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise.

Rev counter

The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute

›››

Fig. 117

Together with the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.

The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al.

We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in

›››



page 32, Gear-change

indicator

CAUTION

Never allow the rev counter needle

›››

Fig. 117

to go into the red zone on the

scale for more than a very brief period, other-
wise there is a risk of engine damage.

For the sake of the environment

Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimise emissions and engine
noise.

WARNING

Observe the safety warnings

›››

in Warning

and control lamps on page 111

WARNING

Even though outside temperatures are above
freezing, some roads and bridges may be icy.

●

At outside temperatures above +4°C

(+39°F), even when the “ice crystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.

●

Do not rely on the outside temperature in-

dicator!

Note

●

Different 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 symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified.

Odometer

Fig. 118

Instrument panel: odometer and re-

set button.

The distance covered is displayed in “kilome-
tres” or miles “m”. It is possible to change
the measurement units (kilometres
“km”/miles “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

›››

Fig. 118

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

For vehicles with no coolant temperature
gauge, a control lamp



appears for high

coolant temperatures

›››

page 290

. Please

note

›››

The coolant temperature gauge

›››

Fig. 117

only works when the ignition is

switched on. In order to avoid engine dam-
age, please read the following notes for the
different temperature ranges.

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.

109

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operation

Normal temperature
If in normal 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 diodes light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp appears



on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperature is excessive

›››

page 290

CAUTION

●

To ensure 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 35

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 cooling air when the vehicle is

moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance.

Fuel level

Fig. 119

Fuel gauge.

The display

›››

Fig. 117

only works when

the ignition is switched on. When the display
reaches the reserve mark, the lower diode
lights up in red and the control lamp  ap-
pears

›››

page 106

. When the fuel level is very

low, the lower diode flashes in red.

The distance to empty fuel level is displayed
on the instrument panel

›››

Fig. 117

The capacity of the fuel tank of your vehicle is
given in the Technical data section

›››



page 49

CAUTION

Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An ir-
regular fuel supply could cause misfiring. In
this way the unburned fuel can reach the ex-
haust system, which could cause the catalytic
converter to overheat resulting in damage.

Control lamps

Warning and control lamps

Read the additional information carefully

›››



page 39

The control and warning lamps are indicators
of warnings,

›››

, faults

›››

or certain func-

tions. Some control and warning lamps come
on when the ignition is switched on, and
switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.

Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument
panel display. These may be purely informa-
tive or they may be advising of the need for
action

›››

page 106, Instruments

Depending upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-
times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument panel.

When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard.

110

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instruments and warning/control lamps

WARNING

If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the vehicle may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.

●

Never ignore the warning lamps or text

messages.

●

Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.

●

Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-

sure that there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).

●

A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-

dent for the driver and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.

●

Before opening the bonnet, switch off the

engine and allow it to cool.

●

In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a

hazardous area and could cause severe inju-
ries

›››

CAUTION

Failure to heed the control lamps and text
messages when they appear may result in
faults in the vehicle.
