Fuel gauge
Indicates fuel level when the ignition
is on (F indicates full, E indicates
empty).
When fuel gauge indicates that fuel
supply is low (one segment on the
gauge is illuminated), fill up fuel tank
as soon as possible. If control
indicator
Y illuminates in the
instrument cluster, refuel
immediately.
Never let the fuel tank become
empty. Diesel engines: if the tank has
been run dry, bleed the fuel system
310-7.Because of the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank, the amount of
fuel required to fill the tank may be
less than the specified tank capacity.
Refuelling 39-12.

5-11Instruments and controls
If it stays lit or illuminates during
driving, there is a fault with ESP®.
The vehicle’s brake system remains
operational without ESP
® regulation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop to
have the cause of the fault remedied.
Further information 3 9-10.
W Engine coolant
temperature
Will illuminate briefly in red when
ignition is switched on.
If it illuminates or flashes when the
engine is running: stop vehicle and
switch off engine. Coolant
temperature is too high; danger of
engine damage. Check coolant level.
Further information 3 10-4.
N Preheating for diesel
engines 3
Will illuminate during engine
preheating.
Preheating system switches on only if
outside temperature is low.
If it illuminates during driving or if the
engine cannot be started, seek the
assistance of a workshop as soon as
possible.
Starting the engine 3 9-2.
Z Exhaust emissions
Will illuminate in yellow when ignition
is switched on. Extinguishes after
engine is started.
If it illuminates when the engine is
running: fault in emission control
system. The permitted emission
limits may be exceeded. Fuel
economy and vehicle driveability may
be impaired. Seek the assistance of a
workshop immediately.Diesel engines: The engine stops and
control indicator Z illuminates if the
fuel level is too low. If the tank has
been run dry, bleed the fuel system 3
10-7.
Vehicles with electric throttle body
system 3: If the battery has been
disconnected, the system must be
recalibrated upon reconnection of the
battery. Hold ignition key in ON
position for 5 seconds without
running the engine. Control indicator
Z remains illuminated after the
engine is started if the procedure is
not successful.
I Engine oil pressure
Will illuminate in red when ignition is
switched on. Extinguishes after
engine is started.
If it illuminates during driving; engine
oil pressure may be dangerously low,
interrupting engine lubrication and
resulting in damage to the engine
and/or locking of the drive wheels:
„Move out of the flow of traffic as
quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles,
9 Warning
Allow engine to cool down before
removing coolant filler cap.

5-13Instruments and controls
If it illuminates when the engine is
running; there may be a fault in the
engine electronics: interrupt your
journey and seek the assistance of a
workshop.
If regeneration of the diesel particle
filter is not successful or possible (3
5-13 “8 Diesel particle filter 3“), the
control indicator may illuminate and
the vehicle goes into limp home
mode: interrupt your journey and
seek the assistance of a workshop
immediately.
Further information 3 9-7.
Y Low fuel
If it illuminates during driving; fuel
level is low: fill up fuel tank as soon
as possible.
Never let the tank run dry!
Erratic fuel supply can cause catalytic
converter to overheat 3 9-8.
Diesel engines: The engine stops and
control indicator Z illuminates if the
fuel level is too low (3 5-11 “Z
Exhaust emissions”). If the tank has
been run dry, bleed the fuel system 3
10-7.Refuelling 3 9-12, fuel tank capacity
3 12-5.
8 Diesel particle filter 3
Will illuminate briefly in yellow when
the ignition is switched on.
If it illuminates during driving, the
diesel particle filter requires cleaning.
As soon as the road and traffic
situation permits it, increase speed to
more than 75 km/h (50 mph) for
approx. 30 minutes. The control
indicator extinguishes as soon as
cleaning is complete.
If regeneration of the diesel particle
filter is not successful or possible (3
5-12 “A Service vehicle soon 3“),
control indicator A may illuminate
and the vehicle goes into limp home
mode: interrupt your journey and
seek the assistance of a workshop
immediately.
Further information 3 9-7.
O Turn signal lamps
The appropriate control indicator will
flash in green when the turn signal is
on. Rapid flash; failure of a turn signal
bulb or the corresponding fuse.
Both control indicators flash when the
hazard warning lamps are active.
Turn signal lamps 3 6-2, bulb
replacement 3 10-7, fuses 3 10-11.
Warning chimes
While driving:
„when operating the turn signals.
„if driver’s seat belt is not engaged
and vehicle speed exceeds approx.
15 km/h (9 mph).
When the vehicle is parked and
driver’s door is opened:
„with exterior lamps switched on
(and ignition key removed).
„when the key is in the ignition
switch.
Seat belt warning chime 33-7.
Driving hints 3 9-1.

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.

9-13 Driving and operating
The tank flap is opened by pulling up
the release lever located on the
outboard side of the driver’s seat.The fuel filler neck is located on the
left rear side of the vehicle.
To open fuel filler cap: turn it anti-
clockwise.
Fuel consumption,
CO
2emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 2004/3/EG) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
The directive is oriented to actual
driving practices: Urban driving is
rated at approx.
1/3 and extra-urban
driving with approx. 2/3 (urban and
extra-urban consumption). Cold
starts and acceleration phases are
also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2 emission is
also a constituent of the directive.The figures given must not be taken
as a guarantee for the actual fuel
consumption of a particular vehicle.
All values are based on the EU base
model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption
as specified by directive 2004/3/EG
takes account of the vehicle’s kerb
weight, ascertained in accordance
with these regulations. Optional
extras may result in slightly higher
fuel consumption and CO
2emission
levels than those quoted.
Fuel consumption, CO
2emissions
312-4.
Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.

Tyre pressures 3 12-8.
Also may be shown on a label located
on the driver’s door pillar.After having checked the tyre
pressures, securely tighten the valve
caps.
The specified tyre pressures are valid
for cold tyres. The increased tyre
pressure resulting from extensive
driving must not be reduced. The tyre
pressures specified apply to both
summer and winter tyres.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear. 185= Tyre width in mm
