5-12 Instruments and controls
„Depress clutch,
„Move gearshift lever to neutral
(automatic transmission 3 to N),
„Switch off ignition.
Check engine oil level. If the oil level
is low, top up using the specified
engine oil 3 10-3, 11-6, 12-3.
If the oil level is normal, seek the
assistance of a workshop to have the
vehicle’s lubricating system checked.
I Engine oil life monitor 3
For engines with diesel particle filter.
Will flash in red when engine oil and
filter require changing.
Engine oil life monitor 3 3 5-14.o
Theft-deterrent
Will start flashing slowly in red after
the key is turned to positions LOCK or
ACC, or removed from the ignition
switch.
o Immobiliser
Control indicator o (or A for diesel
engines) illuminates when the ignition
is switched on, and extinguishes
when the engine is started.
If either control indicator flashes after
the ignition is switched on, there may
be a fault in the immobiliser system;
the engine cannot be started 3 2-7.

indicate a fault that requires
immediate attention. Seek the
assistance of a workshop as soon as
possible.
Further information 3 6-1.
9 Door ajar 3
Will illuminate in red when a door or
the tailgate is open.
A Service vehicle soon
(for diesel engines) 3
Will illuminate briefly in yellow when
ignition is switched on.
If it flashes when the ignition is
switched on, there may be a fault in
the immobiliser system; the engine
cannot be started (3 “o Immobiliser“,
3 2-7).
9 Warning

5-14 Instruments and controls
Service interval display 3
In the case of vehicles with fixed
engine oil change and service
intervals, InSP appears in the
odometer display if the ignition is
switched on when servicing is
overdue: have the next service
carried out within one week or
500 km (300 miles). Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
After the service is complete, have
the display reset by a workshop.
Engine oil life monitor 3
Indicates when the engine oil and oil
filter require changing. Based on
driving conditions, the interval at
which an oil change will be indicated
can vary considerably.
When the system has calculated that
oil life has been diminished, control
indicator
I flashes in the instrument
cluster when the engine is running.
Engine oil and oil filter need changing
immediately. Engine power may be decreased. For
the system to work properly, it must
be reset every time the engine oil and
oil filter are changed: seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Trip computer 3
The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated
electronically.
To access trip computer vehicle data:
With the ignition switched on, press
the MODE button repeatedly 3 5-6
until instantaneous fuel consumption,
average fuel consumption (AVG.) or
fuel range (RANGE) appears in the
odometer display.

9-12Driving and operating
Fuel
Petrol engine fuel
Use only unleaded fuels meeting the
specifications of DIN EN 228.
Refuel using the correct octane
number 3 12-3.
If the RON 95 label is attached to the
tank flap, unleaded fuel with an
octane rating of 95 or higher must be
used.
Diesel engine fuel
Use only diesel engine fuel meeting
the specifications of DIN EN 590.
Marine diesel fuel, fuel oils, diesel
fuels, which are entirely or partially
plant based such as rape seed oil or
bio-diesel, Aquazole and similar
diesel-water emulsions must not be
used.The flow and filterability of diesel
fuels are temperature-dependent.
Fuel filler cap
If replacing the fuel filler cap, be sure
to use the original fuel filler cap for
your model, to ensure full
functionality.
Refuelling
Caution
A fuel of too low an octane can lead
to engine damage.
9 Warning
Before refuelling, switch off the
engine and any heating systems
with combustion chambers.
Switch off mobile phones.
Fuel is inflammable and
explosive, therefore avoid dealing
with fuel near naked flames and
doing anything that would
generate sparks. No smoking!
This also applies where the smell
of fuel is noticeable. If the smell of
fuel vapour occurs in the vehicle
itself, have the cause remedied
immediately by a workshop.
Observe the operating and safety
instructions of the petrol station
when refuelling.

11-5Service and maintenance
Additional servicing
Additional operations ⊕
Additional work is work that is not
required every service but can be
performed in conjunction with a
regular service.
Time allowances for such work are
not included in the scope of regular
services and will be charged for
additionally. It is more economic if
these operations are performed as
part of a scheduled service than
having them performed separately.
Severe operating conditions o
Operating conditions are classified as
severe when one or more of the
following occurs frequently:
„cold starts,
„stop and go,
„trailer/caravan towing,
„gradients and/or high altitudes,
„poor road surfaces,
„sand and dust,
„extreme temperature fluctuations. Police vehicles, taxis and driving
school vehicles are also classified as
operating under severe conditions.
Under severe operating conditions, it
may be necessary to have certain
scheduled service work done more
frequently than the scheduled
intervals.
For example, if fuel is used that does
not comply with required standards,
the fuel filter may need more frequent
draining or replacement and it may
also be necessary to change other
components more often (e.g. spark
plugs).
It is recommended to seek technical
advice on the servicing requirements
dependent on the specific operating
conditions of your vehicle.
Recommended fluids
and lubricants
Only use products that have been
tested and approved. Damage
resulting from the use of non-
approved materials will not be
covered by the warranty.
Checking and topping up fluids
3 10-3.
9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and must be handled
with the appropriate level of care.
If consumed, seek medical
attention immediately. Do not
inhale fumes and avoid skin
contact. Keep out of reach of
children. Do not allow operating
materials to contaminate the
sewage system, surface water,
ground water or soil. Dispose of
empty containers properly.
Always bear in mind that
operating materials are
hazardous to your health.
