and warning/indicator lamps
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 288.
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 ¢ page 20.
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
show that the associated systems are working
properly. These systems are marked with a../ in
the following tables. If one of these warning/in­
dicator lamps does not light up, there is a fault in
the associated system.

(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 liJ 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 ¢ .&. .
• Parking brake: fault. Safely stop vehicle.
Please contact workshop
- 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 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 244, 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
workshop and have the fault rectified.
C®) Electro-mechanical parking brake

CX) Soft
top: not secure. Speed too high
This message will appear if you exceed a speed of
SO km/h while the soft top is opening or closing.
Reduce speed and open or close the soft top
again.
Soft top: fault. You can continue driving
(limited functionality). See owner's manual
This message will appear if a system malfunction
occurs. Try to open or close the soft top again. If
the message still appears, drive to a qualified
workshop (but do not exceed SO km/h) and have
the fault rectified.
,8. WARNING
Never drive with the soft top not correctly
Locked in place. There is a danger that the
fabric could be caught by the airstream and
blown open. This could cause an accident,
possibly resulting in personal injury or dam­
age to the car.
Windbreak
Applies to: vehicles with windbreak
The windbreak reduces draughts inside the vehi­
cle for greater comfort when driving with the
soft top open.
Fig. 32 Centre console: Control switch for windbreak
The windbreak can be raised and Lowered electri­
cally.
""To extend the windbreak, pull and hold the
windbreak control switch until the windbreak is
fully extended.
""To Lower the windbreak, press and hold the
control switch for the windbreak until the wind­
break is fully retracted . Soft
top (folding roof)
,8. WARNING
-
- Never use the windbreak to secure Loads.
- Take care when closing the windbreak. Care-
less use of the windbreak can cause severe
injuries.
{(D) Note
- The windbreak will stop moving immediate­
ly in any position if the switch is released.
- The windbreak is most effective if the win­
dows are fully raised when driving.
Manual operation of the
soft top
General notes
The soft top can be closed manually in the event
of a malfunction.
""Apply the parking brake.
"" Open all the windows.
"" Switch off the ignition.
You should only operate the soft top manually if
you need to close it and the power-operated sys­
tem does not work. It is advisable to have a sec­
ond person help you. Drive to a qualified work­
shop soon and have the fault rectified.
,8. WARNING
- In all the steps required for manual opera­
tion of the soft top, there is always a risk of
catching your hands or causing injury tooth­
ers.
- Please ensure that all windows are down
before operating the soft top manually.
- Keep well clear of the frame mechanism
and other moving parts.
- Never drive with the soft top not correctly
Locked in place. There is a danger that the
fabric could be caught by the airstream and
blown open. This could cause an accident,
possibly resulting in personal injury or dam­
age to the car.

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed -do not use full throt­
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri­
od you should continue driving at moderate en­
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex­
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim­
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi­
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi­
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys­
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa­
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve­
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
