Technical Data
•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 191.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 electrical consumption not absolutely vital
should be switched off.
Caution
If the coolant warning lamp
i n t h e i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l l i g h t s u p as we ll a s t h e
alternator waning lamp while driving ⇒page 78, 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 123.
Engine management
This warning lamp monitors the engine management system
for petrol engines.The warning lamp
(Electronic Power Control) lights 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.

– Press the knob in again to prevent the setting from being changed unintentionally.This button activates or deactivates the daytime running lights function. With
the function activated, when the ignition is switched on the daytime running
lights are turned on automatically.
Note
Please observe any relevant legal requirements which may apply in your
country.Adaptive headlights* (for cornering)
When driving around bends, the headlights will light the
most important areas of the road.
The dynamic cornering light gives better illumination of the curve zone and
the side of the road when driving around a bend ⇒fig. 91 . The dynamic
cornering light is controlled automatically depending on the speed and the
steering wheel angle.
The dipped-beam headlights are regulated automatically when you drive
around a bend, depending on how far you turn the steering wheel. The two
main headlights move at different angles to avoid that the front of the vehicle
is left completely in the dark.
Note
The system operates from a speed of about 10 km/h.Hazard warning lights
The hazard warning lights are used to draw the attention of
other road users to your vehicle in emergencies.

Technical Data
– On vehicles equipped with a rain sensor*, you can move the
switch up and down to set the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
Slow wipe
– Move the lever up to position .
Continuous wipe
– Move the lever up to position .
Automatic wash and wipe
– Pull the lever towards the steering wheel, , to activate the windscreen washer.
– Release the lever. The washer will stop and the wipers will keep running for approximately 4 seconds.
Disabling the windscreen wiper
– Pull the lever to basic position .General notes
The washers and wipers will work only when the ignition is switched on.
If you stop briefly, e.g. at traffic lights, the wiper speed will automatically be
reduced. The rain sensor* will automatically be set to the intermittent wipe
function.
The windscreen washer jets are heated when the ignition is switched on.
The wiper intervals in the intermittent wipe setting are also varied automati-
cally according to the road speed (in addition to the manual delay setting).
When the lights are switched on you should only pull the lever briefly to wash
the windscreen, otherwise the headlight washers* will also be enabled. This
will use an unnecessary amount of fluid from the reservoir. Rain sensor
The rain sensor* will only function in the intermittent wipe position. The inter-
mittent wipe function is enabled automatically when it starts to rain.
Before you reach a road speed of 6 km/h ,you will have to enable the rain
sensor manually by switching it off and back on again.
Use control to set the sensitivity of the rain sensor*.
If you have selected a high sensitivity level for the rain sensor the windscreen
wipers will react sooner to any moisture on the windscreen.
The wiper intervals in the intermittent wipe setting are also varied automati-
cally according to the road speed (in addition to the sensitivity setting).
WARNING
•For correct visibility and safe driving, the wiper must be in perfect
condition ⇒page 215. Failure to do so could result in an accident.•The rain sensor* is only intended to assist the driver. The driver is still
obliged to manually operate the windscreen wipers as required depending
on visibility.•Do not use water-repellent coatings on the windscreen. In bad visibility
conditions such as light rain, low sun or when driving at night, these coat-
ings can cause increased dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard. Such
coatings can also cause the wiper blades to judder.Caution
•In the event of frost, check that the wiper blade has not frozen before
enabling the windscreen wipers. Should the windscreen wiper system be
enabled when the blade is frozen, this could damage it or even the wind-
screen wiper system motor.•Make sure you switch off the windscreen wiper system (lever in position
0) before you use an automatic car wash. This will avoid inadvertent trig-
gering of the wipers and possible damage to the wiper system.
