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.

Yellow symbols are used to indicate a Priority 2 fault (warning).
Yellow symbols are accompanied by
one warning chime. The function indi-
cated should be checked as soon as possible. If several Priority 2 faults are
detected at the same time, the symbols are displayed one after the other for
about 2 seconds at a time.
Fuel level low

When this symbol
 comes on for the first time, there are about 8 to 10 litres
of fuel left in the tank. You should fill up as soon as possible ⇒page 208.
Diesel particulate filter obstructed

If the symbol
 lights up, you may be able to contribute towards automatic
filter cleaning by driving in the right manner. You should drive at a speed of
at least 60 km/h for about 15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear, at an engine speed
of around 2000 rpm. The increase in temperature will burn off any soot in the
filter. When cleaning is successful, the symbol switches off.
If the light on symbol
 does not go off, take the vehicle to a specialist
garage to repair the fault.
For further information on the diesel particulate filter, see ⇒page 183.
WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your sp eed to suit the weather, road, terrain
and traffic conditions. The recommended driving speed must never lead to
the driver disregarding the traffic regulations.Light sensor/ rain sensor faulty
