    the needle will remain in the centresection.

    CAUTION

    Do not restart the engine until thecause of overheating has beenresolved.

    If the needle enters the red section, theengine is overheating. Stop the engine,switch the ignition off and determine thecause once the engine has cooleddown. See Engine coolant check(page 186).

    Oil temperature gauge

    Indicates the temperature of the engineoil.

    At normal operating temperature, theneedle remains within the normal area.

    If it enters the red section, the engine isoverheating. Reduce engine speed assoon as safely possible to allow theengine to cool. If the engine is continued

    to be driven at high engine speeds withthe needle in the red section, the enginespeed will be reduced automatically toprevent engine damage.

    WARNING

    Driving with your oil pressure gaugepointer continuously in the redsection of the scale may damage

    Note: When the engine is cold, oilpressure close to 5 bar may be indicated.This is normal. As the engine warms up,the oil pressure will drop.

    This gauge indicates engine oil pressureup to a recommended safe maximum of5 bar.

    During normal driving the indicated oilpressure will vary with engine speed, thepressure rising as engine speed rises anddropping as engine speed drops.

    If the engine oil pressure drops below thenormal range, the oil pressure gaugepointer will drop into the red section of the

    gauge scale and the engine oil pressurewarning lamp in the main instrumentcluster will illuminate. Stop the vehicle assoon as safely possible and switch off theengine immediately. Check the oil leveland add oil if needed. See Engine oilcheck(page 186).

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

    Outside air

    Keep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction (snow,leaves etc.) to allow the climate controlsystem to function effectively.

    Recirculated air

    CAUTION

    Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settings

    for defrosting and demisting thewindscreen.

    The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated. Outsideair will not enter the vehicle.

    Heating

    Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.

    Air conditioning

    Note: The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 4C(39F).

    Note: If you use the air conditioning, thefuel consumption of your vehicle will behigher.

    Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity is extracted

    from the air to help keep the windows freeof mist. The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle andit is therefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.

    General information oncontrolling the interior climate

    Fully close all the windows.

    Warming the interior

    Direct the air towards your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some

    of the air towards the windscreen and thedoor windows.

    AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

    The system controls the temperature,amount and distribution of the air flowautomatically and adjusts them according

    to the driving and weather conditions.Pressing theAUTO button once switcheson the auto mode.

    The system in your vehicle is dual-zoneautomatic climate control. When thesystem is in mono mode, all the

    temperature zones are linked to thedriver's zone. When you switch monomode off, the dual-zone system allows

    you to set different temperatures for thedriver's and front passenger's side.

    Note: Avoid adjusting the settings whenthe vehicle interior is extremely hot orcold. The automatic climate controladjusts to the current circumstancesautomatically. For the system to functionproperly, the side and centre vents shouldbe fully open.

    Note: The sunload sensor is located ontop of the instrument panel. Do not cover
