“Deactivating airbags*”. If the passe
nger seat has a height adjustment
option, move it to the highest position.
•
For those vehicles that do not include a key lock switch to turn the
airbag off, an Authorised Service Centre must be consulted.
•
All passengers, especially children, must assume the proper sitting
position and be properly belted in while travelling.
•
Never hold children or babies on your lap, this can result in potentially
fatal injuries to the child!
•
Never allow a child to be transported in a vehicle without being properly
secured, or to stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling. In an accident,
the child could be flung through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal injuries
to themselves and to the other passengers.
•
If children assume an improper sitting position when the car is moving,
they expose themselves to greater ri sk of injury in the event of sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident. This is particularly important if the
child is travelling on the front passenger seat and the airbag system is trig-
gered in an accident; as this could cause serious injury or even death.
•
A suitable child seat can protect your child!
•
Never leave an unsupervised child alone on a child seat or in the
vehicle.
•
Depending on weather conditions, it may become extremely hot or cold
inside the vehicle. This can be fatal.
•
Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall must not wear a normal seat
belt without a child restraint system, as this could cause injuries to the
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident.
•
Do not allow the belt webbing to become twisted or jammed, or to rub
on any sharp edges.
•
Incorrectly worn seat belts can cause injuries even in a minor collision
or in sudden braking manoeuvres.
•
The seat belt provides maximum protection only when the belt web is
properly positioned ⇒page 22, “Seat belts”.
•
Only one child may occupy a child seat ⇒page 48, “Child seats”.

Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒fig. 38 only works when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine damage, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Cold temperature
If the needle is still on the left of the dial, this indicates that the engine has
not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs and heavy accelera-
tion and do not make the engine work hard. Normal temperature
In normal operations, the needle will settle somewhere in the centre of the
dial once the engine has reached running temperature. The temperature may
also rise when the engine is working hard, especially at high outside temper-
atures. This is no cause for conc
ern, provided the warning lamp
does not
light up in the instrument panel.
Warning temperature
If the symbol
flashes in the display, this means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒page 77.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level, observe the
warning information ⇒ page 213.
•
Never open the bonnet when steam or coolant is being released from it.
This could lead to burns. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.Caution
Accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At
high outside temperatures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.

The yellow warning
lamp remains on if the system is faulty or if
the pressure is too low in at least one tyre. In the event of a system
fault, the letters TPMS are displayed in the centre of the instrument
panel ⇒page 66, fig. 45. In case the tyre pressure drops rapidly,
the message ⇒page 66, fig. 46 is shown on the central display
of the instrument panel. If the pressure loss is slowly, the message ⇒ page 66, fig. 46 is shown on the central display of the isntru-
ment panel. The message does not show the tyre affected. Should
any of these warnings be displayed:
– Stop the engine.
– Check the tyres. Although the warning corresponds to just one tyre, you should also check the others.
– Correct the tyre pressure ⇒page 228.
For more detailed information on the tyre pressure monitoring system, please
refer to ⇒page 227.Cruise control system*
The indicator lamp
on the instrument panel lights up when the cruise
control system is operating.
Trailer indicators*
This indicator lamp flashes when the indicators are operating
while towing a caravan or trailer.The indicator lamp
flashes when the indicators are operated if a trailer is
correctly coupled to the vehicle.
Where a turn signal lamp does not work, either on the trailer or on the towing
vehicle, the indicator lamp will not flash.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The warning lamp monitors the ABS and the integrated elec-
tronic differential lock (EDL).The warning lamp
lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on and while the engine is being started. The lamp goes out again
after the system has run through an automatic test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
the 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 brake in the normal way (except that the ABS control func-
tion is out of action). Please take the vehicle to a specialist garage as soon as
possible. For further information on the ABS ⇒page 176.
If a malfunction should occur in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light
up.

68Entire brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
lights up together with the brake warning lamp
⇒ page 70 (with the handbrake released), this indicates not only a fault
in the ABS function, but probably also a malfunction in the main brake system
as well ⇒ .
The symbol
will light up in the instrument panel if a fault occurs in the
brake system . Please refer to ⇒ page 77.
Electronic differential lock (EDL) fault
The EDL works in conjunction with the ABS. The ABS indicator lamp will light
up
to indicate an EDL fault. Please take the vehicle to a specialist garage
as soon as possible. For further information on the EDL ⇒page 177.WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checki ng the brake fluid level, observe
the warning information in ⇒ page 213, “Work in the engine compart-
ment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp
should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir. If the fluid level has dropped below the "MIN" mark
you must not drive on otherwise ther e may be an increased accident risk.
Obtain technical assistance.
•
If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may have
been caused by a fault in the ABS control function. As a result, the rear
wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. Under certain circum-
stances, the rear of the vehicle could suddenly sway from side to side, with
the subsequent danger of skidding. Drive carefully to the nearest specialist
garage and have the fault rectified.
Seat belt warning lamp*
The warning lamp acts as a reminder to the driver to fasten
the seat belt.After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp
will remain lit until the
driver and front passenger (if applicable) have fastened their seat belts.
When the vehicle has reached a certain speed, you will also hear a warning
signal and the warning light will flash.
For further information on the seat belts, see ⇒page 22.
Indicators and hazard warning lights
Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left
or right
indi-
cator lamp flashes. Both indicator lamp s will flash when the hazard warning
lights are switched on.
If one turn signal fails, the indicator lamp will start flashing twice as fast as
normal.
This does not apply when towing a trailer. Where a turn signal lamp does not
work, either on the trailer or on the towing vehicle, the indicator lamp will not
flash. For further informatio n on the indicators, see ⇒page 119.
Electronic stabilisation programme
This warning lamp monitors the electronic stabilisation
program (ESP).The warning lamp
has the following functions:

•
It will start flashing to indicate that ESP is counteracting an unstable
driving condition.
•
It lights up when the ignition is switched on for approx. 2 seconds while
the function is checked.
•
The warning lamp will light up if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
•
It will light up after the battery has been disconnected.
•
The warning lamp will light up 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 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. After this the warning lamp should go out to show that the system is
fully functional.
The warning lamp will light up when the ignition is switched on if the battery
has been disconnected and then reconnected. It should go out again after
driving a short distance if the steering wheel is turned slightly.
For further information on the ESP, see ⇒ page 177.
Alternator
The warning lamp signals a fault in the alternator or in the
vehicle's electrical system.The warning lamp
lights up when the ignition is switched on. It should
switch off after the engine has started.
If the warning lamp lights up when you are driving, you can normally
continue as far as the nearest specialist garage. However, given that the
battery will be running down, any electr ical consumption not absolutely vital
should be switched off.
Caution
If the coolant warning lamp
in the instrument panel lig h t s u p a s w e l l a s t h e
alternator waning lamp while driving ⇒page 77, stop the vehicle immedi-
ately and switch off the engine. In this case the coolant pump is no longer
being driven, and there is a risk of engine damage.
Main beam headlights
The indicator lamp
lights up when the main beams are on or when the
headlight flasher is operated.
For further information on the main beam headlights, see ⇒page 119.
Engine management
This warning lamp monitors the engine management system
for petrol engines.The warning lamp
(Electronic Power Control) li ghts up while the function
is being checked.
Note
If the warning lamp lights up while the vehicle is moving, this indicates a fault
in the engine management system. The vehicle must be taken immediately to
a specialist garage to have the engine serviced.

Driver information systemGeneral notes
The driver information system in the instrument panel shows
the status of various on-board systems at a glance.The display for the driver information system is in the centre of the instrument
panel.
The system runs a check on certain components and functions when the igni-
tion is switched on and while the vehi cle is moving. The DIS system gives an
audible warning if a fault should occur or if servicing is required, and a red or
yellow warning symbol (in some cases with a corresponding driver message)
appears in the dashboard display.
The driver is informed on the audio system.
The driver information system includes the following functions:
Note
•
If a fault should occur, the display will show a red or yellow warning
symbol. A red warning symbol indicates a serious malfunction ⇒page 76. A
yellow warning symbol indicates a less serious malfunction ⇒ page 78.

The fuel range display can help you to plan your trip.The estimated fuel range is displayed in km. It shows how far the vehicle can
be driven with the amount of fuel left in the tank, assuming the same style of
driving. The fuel range is displayed in increments of 10 km.
The fuel range is calculated on the basis of the fuel consumption over the last
30 kilometres. The fuel range will increase if you drive in a more economical
manner.
Door catch/ tailgate warningThe door catch/tailgate warning symbol lights up if one or more of the doors,
or the bonnet or tailgate are not proper ly closed when the ignition is on. The
symbol also indicates which of these is not properly closed. The display in the
illustration ⇒fig. 50 shows that the front left door is open.
The corresponding part of the pictogram wil l flash if either the bonnet or tail-
gate are open. The warning symbol goes out when the bonnet, tailgate and
all the doors are closed.
