Possible causes/consequences and M
Solutions
;NThe yellow Check Engine warning lamp lights up while the engine is running.
There may be a malfunction, for example:
Rin the engine management
Rin the transmission management
Rin the fuel injection system
Rin the exhaust system
Rin the ignition system (for vehicles with a gasoline engine)
Rin the fuel system
The emission limit values may be exceeded and the engine may be running in
emergency mode.
XHave the vehicle checked as soon as possible at a qualified specialist workshop.
æN The yellow reserve fuel warning lamp is on while the engine is running.
The fuel level has dropped to the reserve range.
XRefuel at the nearest gas station.
?N The red coolant warning lamp comes on while the engine is running.
On vehicles without steering wheel buttons, the coolant temperature gage is at the
start of the bar display (
Ypage 175).
On vehicles with steering wheel buttons, the coolant temperature gage is at the
start of the scale in the instrument cluster (
Ypage 39).
The temperature sensor for the coolant temperature gage is faulty.
The coolant temperature is no longer being monitored. There is a risk of engine
damage if the coolant temperature is too high.
XStop the vehicle immediately, paying attention to road and traffic conditions,
and switch off the engine. Do not continue driving under any circumstances.
XSecure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away (Ypage 135).
XConsult a qualified specialist workshop.

Fuel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Improper handling of
fuel creates a risk of fire and explosion.
Avoid fire, open flames, smoking and creating
sparks under all circumstances. Switch off the
engine and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating
before refueling.
GWARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance with-
out delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
RImmediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel. When handling, storing and disposing of fuels,
please observe the relevant regulations.
Tank contents
Depending on equipment, the total capacity of
the fuel tank may vary.
Total capacity18.5 US gal (70.0 l)
of which reserve
fuelApprox. 3.2 US gal
(12.0 l)
Gasoline
Fuel grade
!Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the ignition
if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel system.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system and the
engine. Notify a qualified specialist workshop
and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.
!Only refuel using unleaded premium grade
gasoline with at least 91 AK I/95 RON.
!Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
the vehicle with other fuels can lead to dam-
age to the fuel system, engine and exhaust
system.
!Do not use the following:
RE15 (gasoline with 15% ethanol)
RE85 (gasoline with 85% ethanol)
RE100 (100% ethanol)
RM15 (gasoline with 15% methanol)
RM30 (gasoline with 30% methanol)
RM85 (gasoline with 85% methanol)
RM100 (100% methanol)
RGasoline with metalliferous additives
RDiesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle.
!Filter the fuel before transferring it to the
vehicle if you are refueling the vehicle from
barrels or containers.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel sys-
tem due to contaminated fuel.
