Tips and Maintenance
Te c h n i c a l  D a t a
Traction control system (TCS)*
The traction control system prevents the driven wheels from 
spinning when the vehicle is acceleratingThe warning lamp lights up  when the ignition is switched on and should turn 
off after about 2 seconds.
When the TCS is operating while driving, the warning lamp flashes. If the 
system is deactivated or if there is any fault in the same, the warning lamp will 
remain lit.
It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the TCS oper-
ates in conjunction with the ABS. For further information see  ⇒page 179, 
“Brakes”.Soot accumulation in the dies el engine particulate filter* 
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on.
If the symbol 
 lights, soot has built up in the diesel engine particulate filter 
due to continuous short trips. In this case, drive the vehicle at a constant 
speed of at least 60 km/h (with an engine speed of about 1400 rpm) for 
about 10 minutes. The increase in temperature generated may burn the accu-
mulated soot in the filter. Once this is done, the symbol should disappear.
If the symbol  is not deactivated, bring the vehicle to a specialized work-
shop to repair the fault.
For more information on the diesel particulate filter  ⇒page 185.
WARNING
•
The diesel engine particulate filter may reach extremely high tempera-
tures; it should not enter into contact with flammable materials under-
neath the vehicle. Failure to comply could result in fire.Caution
Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine particulate filter must not be refuelled 
using biodiesel (RME), given that the fuel system may be damaged.Alternator 
 
This warning lamp signals a fault in the alternator.
The warning lamp 
 lights up when the ignition is switched on. It should go 
out when the engine has started running.
If the warning lamp  lights up while driving, th e alternator is no longer 
charging the battery. You should immediately drive to the nearest qualified 
workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment that is not absolutely necessary 
because this will drain the battery.
If the indicator flashes, the voltage is insufficient for normal vehicle 
operation.

Driving
160•
Adjust the driver seat or steering wheel  so that there is a distance of at 
least 25 cm between the steering wheel and your chest ⇒ page 159, 
fig. 130. If you fail to observe the minimum distance, the airbag will not 
protect you. Risk of fatal injury.
•
If your physical constitution prevents you from maintaining the 
minimum distance of 25 cm, contact an Authorised Service Centre. The 
Authorised Service Centre will help you decide if special specific modifica-
tions are necessary.
•
If you adjust the steering wheel so tha t it points towards your face, the 
driver airbag will not protect you properly in the event of an accident. Make 
sure that the steering wheel points towards your chest.
•
When driving, always hold the steer ing wheel with both hands on the 
outside of the ring at the 9 o'clock and  3 o'clock positions. Never hold the 
steering wheel at the 12 o'clock positi on, or in any other manner (e.g. in 
the centre of the steering wheel, or on  the inside of the rim). In such cases, 
you could receive severe injuries to the arms, hands and head.
SafetyElectronic stabilisation programme (ESP)* 
ESP helps make driving safer in certain situations.The Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP ) contains the electronic differential 
lock (EDL) and the traction control syst em (TCS). The ESP function works in 
conjunction with the ABS. Both warning  lamps will light up if the ESP or ABS 
systems are faulty.
The ESP is started automatically when the engine is started.
In specific circumstances where you require less traction, you can switch off 
the ESP by pressing button  ⇒fig. 131 .
For example:•
when driving with snow chains,
•
when driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces,

Intelligent technology
180Anti-lock brake system and traction control 
M-ABS (ABS and TCS)Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels locking 
during braking.The anti-lock brake system (ABS) is an important part of the vehicle's active 
safety system.
How the ABS works
If one of the wheels turns too slowly in relation to the road speed, and is close 
to locking, the system will reduce the braking pressure for this wheel. The 
driver is made aware of this control process by a  pulsating of the brake pedal 
and audible noise. This is a deliberate  warning to the driver that one or more 
of the wheels is tending to lock and the ABS control function has intervened. 
In this situation it is important to keep the brake pedal fully depressed so the 
ABS can regulate the brake  application. Do not “pump”.
If you brake hard on a slippery road surface, the best possible control is 
retained as the wheels do not lock.
However, ABS will not necessarily guarantee shorter braking distances in  all 
conditions. The braking distance could even be longer if you brake on gravel 
or on fresh snow covering a slippery surface.
WARNING
•
The anti-lock brake system cannot defy the laws of physics. Slippery 
and wet roads are dangerous even with ABS! If you notice that the ABS is 
working (to counteract locked wheels  under braking), you should reduce 
speed immediately to suit the road and  traffic conditions. Do not let the 
extra safety features tempt you into taking any risks when driving.
•
The effectiveness of ABS is also determined by the tyres fitted 
⇒ page 225.
•
If the running gear or brakes are mo dified, the effectiveness of the ABS 
could be severely limited.
Traction control system (TCS)
The traction control system prevents the drive wheels from 
spinning when the car is accelerating.Description and operation of the traction  control system during acceleration 
(TCS)
TCS reduces engine power to help prevent the drive wheels of front-wheel 
drive vehicles losing traction during acceleration. The system works in the 
entire speed range in conjunction with ABS. If a malfunction should occur in 
the ABS, the TCS will also be out of action.
TCS helps the vehicle to start moving, accelerate and climb a gradient in slip-
pery conditions where this may otherwise be difficult or even impossible.
The TCS is switched on automatically when the engine is started. If necessary, 
it may be turned on or off pushing  the button on the centre console.
When the TCS is off, the warning lamp is lit. The TCS should normally be left 
switched on at all times. Only in exceptional circumstances, when slipping of 
the wheels is required, should it be disconnected for example•
With compact temporary spare wheel.
•
When using the snow chains.
•
When driving in deep snow or on loose surfaces
•
When the vehicle is bogged-down, to free it by “rocking”.WARNING (continued)

Caution•
In order to ensure that ESP functions correctly, all four wheels must be 
fitted with the same tyres. Any differences in the rolling radius of the tyres can 
cause the system to reduce engine power when this is not desired.
•
Modifications to the vehicle (e.g. to the engine, the brake system, running 
gear or any components affecting the wheels and tyres) could affect the effi-
ciency of the ABS, EDL, ESP and TCS.Note
To disconnect using the ESP button  ⇒page 160.Anti-lock brake system (ABS)The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels locking during braking 
⇒page 180.Electronic differential lock (EDL)*
The electronic differential lock helps prevent the loss of trac-
tion caused if one of the driven wheels starts spinning.EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accelerate and climb a gradient in slip-
pery conditions where this may otherwise be difficult or even impossible.
The system will control the revolutions of the drive wheels using the ABS 
sensors (in case of an EDL fault the warning lamp for ABS lights up) 
⇒page 78.
At speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h, it is able to balance out differ-
ences in the speed of the driven wheel s of approximately 100 rpm caused by  a slippery road surface on 
one side of the vehicle. It does this by braking the 
wheel which has lost traction and distributing more driving force to the other 
driven wheel via the differential.
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel from overheating, the EDL cuts 
out automatically if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicle will continue to 
function normally without EDL. For this  reason, the driver is not informed that 
the EDL has been switched off.
The EDL will switch on again automatically when the brake has cooled down.
WARNING
•
When accelerating on a slippery surface, for example on ice and snow, 
press the accelerator carefully. Despite EDL, the driven wheels may start to 
spin. This could impair the vehicle's stability.
•
Always adapt your driving style to su it road conditions and the traffic 
situation. Do not let the extra safety afforded by EDL tempt you into taking 
any risks when driving, this can cause accidents.Caution
Modifications to the vehicle (e. g. to  the engine, the brake system, running 
gear or any components affecting the wh eels and tyres) could affect the oper-
ation of the EDL  ⇒page 201.The traction control system (TCS)The traction control system prevents the drive wheels from spinning when the 
car is accelerating  ⇒page 180.
