Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
When the DPF warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the speci-
fied amount of the limit in the filter and the filter
needs to regenerate. For filter regeneration details,
see "Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) (where fitted)" in
the "5. Starting and driving" section.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warning light
on without performing the filter regeneration, this
will lead to particulate matter overload in the fil-
ter.
If this occurs, then the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) will turn on. The performance of the engine
might be limited to protect the DPF system. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop to per-
form the service regeneration.
Door open warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely.
Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) warning light
illuminates and then turns off.
2-8
Instruments and controls
The warning light blinks when the ESP system is
operating.
When the warning light blinks while driving, the driv-
ing condition is slippery and the vehicle's traction
limit is about to be exceeded.
If the ESP warning light illuminates while the engine
is running or while driving, it may indicate that the
ESP system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop promptly. If a malfunction occurs, the
ESP function is turned off, but the vehicle is still driv-
able. (See "Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
system (where fitted)" in the "5. Starting and driving"
section.)
Engine oil pressure warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.
If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop
the engine immediately and call an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
CAUTION
•
Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light illuminated could cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
•
The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate a low oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.
(See "Checking engine oil level" in the
"8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself" section.)
Engine temperature warning
light (red/blue) (where fitted)
High temperature indicator light (Red):
The red warning light comes on when the engine
overheats.
WARNING
If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high. Stop the
vehicle safely as soon as possible. If the vehicle
is overheated, continuing vehicle operation may
seriously damage the engine.
•
If the engine coolant temperature warning
light (RED) comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
•
When towing a trailer or driving uphill, reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible
to decrease the engine coolant temperature.
