HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
3 – Engine oil pressure
The warning lamp flashes when ignition is
switched on; the lamp should go out as
soon as the engine has started.
If the warning lamp does not go out or
flashes when driving – a buzzer also
sounds at engine speeds above 2000 rpm
– stop, switch engine off, check oil level
and if necessary, add oil. See the chapter
on "Engine oil". If the lamp comes on
although the oil level is in order, do not
drive on. Do not even run the engine at
cruising speed – call in expert assistance.
If during the journey the engine is oper-
ated at a speed less than cruising speed,
the oil warning lamp may light up.
Increase engine speed by accelerating or
changing down.
Note
The oil pressure warning lamp is not
an oil level indicator. The oil level
should therefore be checked at regu-
lar intervals, preferably every time the
fuel tank is filled.
4 – Alternator
The pilot light goes on when the ignition
is turned on. This pilot should go off once
the engine starts.
If this pilot light goes on while the engine
is running, stop the vehicle, turn off the
engine and verify the fan or poly-V belt.
If it is not broken, you may continue to
drive in a normal way to the nearest Tech-
nical Service Centre. Because the battery
will gradually discharge under these con-
ditions, turn off all the electrical con-
sumption points that are not indispens-
able, including the air conditioning*.
If it is broken, you can not continue to
drive. The engine must be checked by a
Technical Service Centre.
5 – Preheating system
(Diesel engines only)
When the engine is cold, the pilot light
goes on when the ignition goes on.
Once the pilot goes off, start the engine
immediately. See the chapter "Starting
the engine".
The preheating starts automatically after
opening and closing the driver’s door, so
it is possible that the pilot light doesn’t
go on when the ignition is on, even if the
engine is cold. You can start the engine
immediatly.
With the engine at service temperature
this pilot does not go on. You may start
the engine immediately.
5 – Engine management
(petrol engine only)
The warning lamp comes on when the
ignition is switched on and must go out
when the engine is started.
If a fault occurs in the engine manage-
ment system while the vehicle is in
motion, the warning lamp will light up.
The engine must be checked as soon as
possible by a Technical Service Centre.
