Fire in engine compartment
This pictogram appears if a fire is detected in the engine compartment while the
vehicle is on the road. An audible alarm informs the driver when a fire is detected. In
case of fire detection when parked (parking brake applied, engine running or not), the
electric horn is activated to alert the driver. Refer to Safety Features And Equipment
chapter.
WARNING
In case of a fire, stop the vehicle immediately, stop the engine and evacuate the
vehicle.
NOTE
It is possible to cancel an alarm while on the road. To do so, stop the vehicle.
Cycle the ignition between the ON and OFF position and then start the vehicle
normally. This can be done on a temporary basis when a false alarm is activated
by a defective fire detector. The driver can go on without being annoyed by the
alarm.
NOTE
To stop the electric horn alarm when parked, cycle the ignition between the ON
and OFF position twice within 3 seconds.
NOTE
For extinguisher's location, refer to SAFETY FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT chapter.
