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.
K

the ignition off.
K
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.

Hand brake
The pilot light will come on when the hand brake is set and the
ignition is switched on. It should go out when the hand brake is
taken off.
K
Air Bag system*
When the ignition is turned on, the warning light will remain lit for
a few seconds.
If the warning light flashes for about 12 seconds following
engagement of the ignition, this means that at least one Air Bag
has been disconnected in a Technical Service
⇒“Deactivation of
the Air Bag”.

K
Seat belt warning lamp*
The warning lamp lights up (only for certain countries) for about6
seconds after ignition as a reminder to fasten your safety belt.
If the seat belt is not fastened, in some countries an acoustic
signal will sound after switching on the ignition which will stop
after approximately 6 seconds or when the seat belt is fastened.
N No

e
Please refer to chapter “Seat belts”. K
Engine diagnosis*
This pilot light comes on when the ignition is switched on as a test
and switches off after a few seconds.
In case of a failure in the engine’s electrical system, the warning
lamp will light up again. If this occurs, go to the nearest Technical
Service Centre.
K
Traction Control System (TCS)*
The traction control system prevents the drive wheels from
spinning when the car is accelerating.
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and
should turn off after a few 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 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.

Around the pedal area there should not be any foot mats or other
additional floor covering materials:
•In the case of defects in the brake system, a greater pedal travel
may be necessary.
•It should always be possible to depressthe clutch and
accelerator pedals fully.
•All pedals must be able to return, unhindered, to their rest
positions.
For these reasons, the only foot mats which may be used are those
which leave the pedal area completely free and which are
prevented from slipping.

Stowing luggage
In the interests of good handling ensure that the load (persons and
luggage) is distributed evenly. Heavy items should always be
carried as near to the rear axle as possible or better still, between
the axles.
Stale air escapes through ventilation openings in the side trim* of
the luggage compartment. For this reason, it is best to keep these
openings uncovered.

⇒page 116. In this mode, the gearbox will shift up
later to make full use of the engine power reserves.
The downward shift occurs at a higher rate of revolutions than in
the economy programmes.
The gear box is self adapting, and continuously selects the most
suitable gear programme. At the same time, the driver can also
make the gear box switch to a more “sporty” programme by
pressing the accelerator quickly. Depending on road speed, this
makes the gearbox shift down early into a lower gear for quicker
acceleration (for instance to overtake another vehicle), without
having to press the accelerator all the way down to the kick-down
position. After the gear box has shifted back up it returns to the
original programme, depending on your style of driving.
The gear box adapts the gear shifts for uphill and downhill
gradients. This prevents the gearbox from shifting up and downunnecessarily on uphill gradients. On downhill gradients, the
gearbox shifts down into a lower gear when the driver presses the
brake pedal. This makes use of the braking effect of the engine
without having to change down manually
N No
ot
te
e
Depending on road resistance, for example when trailer towing or on uphill
stretches, a programme is automatically selected which provides more
power by shifting into a lower gear. This prevents frequent gear changes.
K
Selector lever lock
In positions “P P
” and “N N
” with the ignition switched on the selector
lever is locked. To move the selector lever out of these positions
the brake pedal must be depressed and the selector lever button
pushed-in. This prevents a gear being engaged inadvertently and
the vehicle unintentionally moving off.
A delay circuit prevents the selector lever from locking when it is
moved quickly past the “N N
” position (for instance from “R R
” to “D D
”).
This enables for example the vehicle to be “rocked” out of a
