Fig. 3 CD only works when the ignition is switched
on. In order to avoid possible damage to the en­
gine, please read the following notes for the dif­
ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en­
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
In normal operation the LEDs will settle some­
where in the centre of the dis play once the en­
gine has reached operating temperature. The
LEDs may also extend further into the right-hand
range of the display when the engine is working

at high outside temperatures. This is no
cause for concern provided the warning lamp.

the red LEDs reach the right-hand part of the dis­
play and the warning lamp.
appears in the dis­
play, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 12.
CD CAUTION
- Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef­
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper­
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri­
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assistance.
� Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.

Fuel gauge
The gauge @ only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, the LED at the bottom of the dial will
light up in red and the indicator lamp tD will ap­
pear c:::>page 16. The LED at the bottom of the
dial will flash in red if the fuel level is very low.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section c:::> page 258.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in­
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur­
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn­
ing/indicator lamps and messages c:::> page 18.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.
Overview
When you switch on the ignition, some of the
warning and indicator lamps light up briefly to

( Q)) Brake system
If the warning lamp lights up, there is a fault in
the brake system.
• Brakes: stop vehicle and check brake fluid
level
Stop the vehicle and check the brake fluid level.
Obtain professional assistance if necessary .
• Warning! Brake servo inoperative
You need to apply much more force to operate
the brakes if the brake servo fails. Obtain profes­
sional assistance.
• Brakes: fault. Safely stop vehicle
If the ABS indicator lamp Ii] and ESC indicator
lamp DJ light up together with the brake warn­
ing lamp .
and this driver message appears,
the ABS, ESC and brake force distribution sys­
tems have failed ¢ A. •
Parking brake: fault. See owner's manual
- If the warning lamp and the message appear
after you switch on the ignition when the ve­
hicle is stationary, please check whether you
can release the parking brake. If the parking
brake cannot be released you should obtain
professional assistance. If the parking brake
can be released but the warning lamp/message
still appears, drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the fault rectified.
- If the warning lamp and the message appear
while driving, there may be a malfunction in
the parking brake auto release or the emergen­
cy brake functions. You may not be able to ap­
ply or release the parking brake. Do not park
the car on a gradient. Obtain professional assis­
tance.
A WARNING
- Before opening the bonnet and checking the
brake fluid level, observe the warning infor­
mation on ¢ page 220, Working on compo­
nents in the engine compartment.
- If the brake warning lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up when driving, the brake flu­
id level in the reservoir is too low -this may
cause an increased accident risk. Stop the
vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain profes­
sional assistance.
- If the brake warning lamp lights up togeth­
er with the ABS indicator lamp and the ESC
indicator lamp, this can mean that the con­
trol function of the ESC/ABS is not working.
Input from the functions that stabilise the
vehicle is no longer available. This could
cause the tail of the vehicle to skid side­
ways. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified
works hop and have the fault rectified.

Switch off the engine and do not drive on. Check
the engine oil level ¢ page 22 3.
- If the engine oil level is too low, add more oil
¢ page 224. Do not drive on until the warning
lamp has gone out.
-If the engine oil level is OK and the warning
lamp is flashing, switch off the engine and do
not drive on. Obtain professional assistance.
(I}) Note
The oil pressure warning lamp is not an indi­
cator for the oil level. The oil level should
therefore be checked regularly.

charged.
There is an alternator fault or a fault in the vehi­
cle's electrical system.

will drain the battery . If the battery charge is in­
sufficient, obtain professional assistance.
(•] Electrical
system: low battery charge. Please
activate drive system
Starting reliability may be impaired.
If this message disappears after a while, the bat­
tery will have been sufficiently charged while

ble to change up a gear or move the selector lev­
er to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) be­
fore the needle reaches the red zone.
CD CAUTION
The rev counter needle must only ever briefly
go into the red zone on the scale; otherwise
there is a risk of engine damage. The start of
the red zone on the dial is different for some
engine versions.

You can call up the following information se­
quentially on the on-board computer:
- Time & date ¢ page 186
- Average fuel consumption (ltr./100 km)
- Single journey memory summary
- Total journey memory summary
The single journey memory processes the infor­
mation on a journey from the time the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off. If the journey
is resumed within two hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new figures are automatically
included in the calculation.
Unlike the single journey memory, the total jour­
ney memory is not erased automatical ly. In this
way, you can determine the period for which you
wish the on-board computer to supply driving in­
formation.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown in a
bar display ¢ Fig. 13. The average fuel consump­
tion (ltr./100 km) from the single journey memo­
ry can also be displayed. If the bar turns green,
your vehicle is saving fuel using one of the fol­
lowing functions:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is trav­
elling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In
this case, the bar will move towards the 0
symbol.
- Coasting mode*¢ page 75.
