Control indicator Y illuminates if the
level in the tank is low. Refuel
immediately if it flashes.
Never run the fuel tank dry.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
Engine coolant temperature
gauge
Number of LEDs displays the coolant temperature.
up to 2 LEDs:engine operating

highCaution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
Service display
The engine oil life system informs
when to change the engine oil and
filter. Based on driving conditions, the interval at which an engine oil and
filter change will be indicated can vary
considerably.
When the system has calculated that
engine oil life has been diminished, a warning message appears in theDriver Information Centre. Have
engine oil and filter changed by a
workshop within one week or
500 km, whichever occurs first.
This can be an additional engine oil
and filter change or part of a regular
service.

The remaining engine oil life duration
is displayed in percent in the Driver
Information Centre.
To display the remaining engine oil
life duration use the stalk buttons:
Press MENU to select the Vehicle
Information Menu .
Turn the adjuster wheel to select
Remaining Oil Life .
Reset Press SET/CLR on the stalk for
several seconds to reset. The
remaining engine oil life duration
menu must be active. Switch on
ignition, but not the engine.
The system must be reset every time
the engine oil is changed to ensure
proper functionality. Seek the

148Vehicle careSystem status and pressure warningsare displayed by a message with the
corresponding tyre flashing in the
Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.
Temperature dependency 3 146.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 73.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 174.
If
w flashes for 60-90 seconds then
illuminates continuously, there is a
fault in the system. Consult a
workshop.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for
approaching a low tyre pressure
condition. Check tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 81.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with pressure sensors. The
tyre pressure monitoring system is
not operational for these tyres.
Control indicator w illuminates. For
the further three tyres, the system remains operational.The use of commercially-available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor; replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor; replace complete
valve stem.
Vehicle loading status
Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according to the tyre information labelor tyre pressure chart 3 174, and
select the appropriate setting in the menu Tyre Load in the Driver
Information Centre, Vehicle
Information Menu 3 75 . This setting is
the reference for the tyre pressure
warnings.
The Tyre Load menu only appears if
the vehicle is in a standstill and the
parking brake is applied.
