. In these cases,
the vehicles occupants are protected in the conventional way by
the seat belts.
It is not possible to define globally when exactly the Air Bag system
will be triggered given that the circumstances of each impact may
vary enormously.
During inflation, the Air Bag emits a fine dust. This is quite normal
and there is no fire risk.
K
Description of front airbags1)
When the system is triggered, the bags are inflated by gas opening
in front of the driver and passenger.
The Air Bag inflation is considerably rapid and takes fractions of a
second, to offer the best protection in the case of an accident.

Attaching child seats with the ISOFIX system
There are four attachment rings (see arrows) on the body work
between the chassis and the cushions of the rear seat.
You can use these rings to attach a maximum of two child seats
with the ISOFIX system. When you fit the child seat you must be
able to hear a "click" on both sides (sound of anchoring). Then,
pull the seat to check whether it has been fitted properly (pull
test!).
1)Not available in all countries.

This value indicates the remaining mileage you can drive the
vehicle with the same driving style.
The base to calculate the remaining fuel is the average fuel
consumption for the last 50 km.
When the remaining fuel function is reset (i.e. after disconnecting
battery) the real value for remaining fuel is displayed after driving
approx. 50 km.

If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not
broken or loose, you can generally wait to have this checked at the
next scheduled service.
As the battery will continue to discharge, all electrical consumers
which are not absolutely necessary should be switched off.

Power steering*
The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional
check when the ignition is switched on.
The warning lamp comes on when the hydraulic oil level is not
sufficient or in case of a failure in the electrical system.
An acoustic signal warns the driver (1 bip).

Main beam
The warning lamp comes on when main beam is on or when the
headlight flasher is used.
K
Fuel level*
The warning lamp comes on when there are about 7 litres left in
the tank. The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a
functional check when the ignition is switched on.
K
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)*
A warning lamp system monitors the ABS.
The warning lamp should light up for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on. It goes out again after the system has run
through an automatictest sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
• The ABS warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is
switched on.
• The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds.
• The warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the
ABS control function is out of action). Take the vehicle to the
Authorised Technical Service as soon as possible. For more
information
⇒pages 131 to 134.
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light
up*.
Brakes
The warning lamp comes on when the brake fluid level is too low.
The ignition must be switched on.
In vehicles with the Anti-locking Brake System (ABS), the warning
lamp will light up for a few seconds after switching the ignition on
or starting the engine. If the ABS system fails, the brake system
warning lamp may light up together with the ABS warning lamp.

It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
TCS operates in conjunction with the ABS. For more information
⇒“Brakes”.K
Electronic stabilisation program (ESP)*
This program includes the ABS, EDL and TCS.
The warning light provides information on the electronic
stabilisation programme and has the following functions:
• It lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out
again after a few seconds.
• It flashes when the ESP is activated when driving.
• It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
• It will light up continuously if the ESP is switched off.
• It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
ESP operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the ESP warning lamp lights up and stays on immediately after
the engine is started, this may mean that the control system has
temporarily switched off the ESP. In this case the ESP can be
reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. If the
warning lamp goes out, this means the system is fully functional.

EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with an Electronic
Stabilisation Program (ESP*).
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning lamp. Take the
vehicle to the Technical Service as soon as possible. For more information
on the EDL
⇒page 133.K
Electronic immobiliser*
When switching the ignition on, the data from the vehicle key is
automatically processed. This procedure is confirmed by the
warning lamp lighting up briefly.
If a non-authorised key is used, the warning lamp will flash
permanently. The ignition will not work
⇒"Keys with remote
control" chapter.
K
Engine oil pressure/level*
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds as a functional check
when ignition is switched on.
If the warning lamp is red or yellow or flashes it indicates that the
engine oil pressure or level is too low. This warning lamp will also
light up if there is a defect in the oil level indicator.
