Coolant temperature gauge

Needle in zone A, the temperature is normal.

Needle in zone B, the temperature is too high.

If the coolant temperature warning lamp comes on (combined with the STOP warning lamp), stopping is mandatory.

Wait for the engine to cool down before topping up the level, if necessary.

The cooling system is under pressure. To avoid any risk of burns, turn the cap two turns to release the pressure.

Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level, if necessary.
