Caution! Before each check of the engine oil level, the dipstick should be wiped with a rag. The car should be horizontal. The check should be performed no earlier than five minutes after the engine has been turned off.
The engine oil level on the dipstick should be between the lower mark (min) and the upper mark (max).
Engine oil consumption is a maximum of 1 liter per 1000 kilometers.
Oil consumption depends on driving style and can only be determined after a sufficiently long mileage.
There is no need to check the transmission fluid level in the automatic transmission. If the transmission is leaking oil or if there are problems with gear shifting, you should contact a workshop.
When the coolant temperature warning light on the instrument panel comes on, it indicates that the coolant temperature has exceeded 130°C.
In this case, the engine should be turned off and allowed to cool down. After that, the coolant level in the expansion tank should be checked and its volume should be replenished.
If the coolant level is normal, then the cause of overheating may be a failure of the radiator fan motor. Check the fan fuse and replace it if necessary.
If the coolant level is normal and you cannot fix the problem yourself, then after the engine has cooled down, you can continue driving at low speed to the nearest workshop.
When the warning light comes on, stop again, turn off the engine and let it cool down. If the traffic situation allows, then in this case, prolonged idling, frequent stops and excessively slow driving should be avoided.
Warning! Driving without coolant is not allowed, because it may cause overheating and damage to the engine. If the coolant level drops frequently or significantly, the cause should be determined and eliminated.
The coolant level should be checked with the vehicle installed horizontally. If the liquid is cold, its level should not be higher than mark 2 on the wall of the expansion tank 1. The level of hot coolant is higher than mark 2 on the tank by approximately 1.5 cm.
When the fuel reserve indicator light on the instrument panel comes on while the engine is running, this means that there is only a reserve supply left in the fuel tank.
When the diesel engine control unit malfunction indicator light comes on, it indicates that there is a malfunction in the fuel system and the engine is not operating at full power.
In this case, you should have the power supply system checked in a workshop as soon as possible.
When the turn signal bulb on a vehicle or trailer burns out, the indicator light on the instrument panel flashes at a rapid rate.
When the brake pad wear indicator light comes on, it means that the brake pads have almost reached the acceptable level of wear.
It is recommended that you contact a workshop to replace the pads as soon as possible.
If the brake system warning light on the instrument panel lights up while the engine is running, it is possible that the parking brake lever has not been released or that there is not enough brake fluid in the expansion tank.
A lit ABS warning light indicates that the ABS is faulty and not functioning. In this case, the braking system remains effective, but the wheel lock protection does not work.
If ABS does not work, the ESP system is also switched off. In this case, when the engine is running, not only the ABS indicator light comes on, but also the BAS/ESP. It is recommended to contact a workshop as soon as possible.
Attention! When the battery voltage drops below 10 volts, the ABS light on the instrument panel also lights up and the ABS is switched off. As soon as the battery charge increases, the light goes out.
The brake booster (BAS) and electronic stability program (ESP) share a common warning light, so if it stays on while the engine is running, either the BAS or ESP is faulty.
Important! Both systems can be switched off. In the event of a switch-off or a fault in AS, the braking system functions normally. In the event of a fault in ESP, the effective engine power may be reduced.
If there is a fault, ABS, BAS and ESP are disabled.
