82Bulb monitor
The bulb monitor checks whether the lights on the vehicle are
working.If a defective bulb is detected, or if one of the lights has failed for any reason,
the bulb monitor symbol
will appear in the display together with an addi-
tional message (which goes out after 5 seconds). For instance, if the rear left
turn signal is not working, the display in the instrument panel will show the
following message:
Left rear turn signal
The message disappears after 5 seconds. Press the CHECK button briefly if
you wish to call up the message again.
If the display indicates that one of the lights is not working, this can have a
number of causes:
•Bulb failure ⇒page 267.•A blown fuse ⇒page 265, “Changing fuses”.•Faulty electrical wiring.
It is not necessary to have lamps replaced in a specialised workshop,
however the use of Xenon lamps is recommended.
LED lamps
If any of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) functions fail, the complete lamp
should be replaced.
The failure of the lamp is only shown when the LED function goes out
completely. Sometimes, a LED will stop working, without displaying the
warning as the function continues to operate.
WARNING
•Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.•The high voltage element of gas discha rge bulbs* (xenon light) must be
handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
Speed warning*
Introduction
The speed warning function can help prevent you exceeding
a particular pre-set maximum speed.The speed warning function will warn the driver if a pre-set maximum speed
is exceeded. The system gives an warning buzzer signal if the set speed is

The speed warning function has two different warning speeds, which operate
independently and serve slightly different purposes:
Speed limit warning 1
With speed limit warning 1, the maximum speed can be changed while
driving. The speed limit that has been set remains stored until the ignition is
switched off, or until it is changed or cleared.
The warning symbol
for speed limit warning 1 ⇒page 82, fig. 56 will
appear in the display if you exceed the pre-set speed. It goes out again if the
speed is reduced below the set speed limit.
The symbol also goes out if the speed is increased to more than about 40
km/h above the set speed for at least 10 seconds. However, this does not
cancel the speed limit that was originally set.
Setting speed limit warning 1 ⇒page 83.
Speed limit warning 2
With speed limit warning 2, the speed limit can only be changed or cleared
when the ignition is switched off. You are recommended to store this speed
limit warning if you always wish to be reminded of a particular speed limit.
This could be when driving in countries with general speed limits, or if a
particular speed should not be exceeded when winter tyres are fitted etc.
The speed limit warning symbol
for speed warning 2 will appear in the
display if you exceed the pre-set speed. Unlike speed limit warning 1, the
warning symbol only goes out once the road speed has dropped below the
set value again.
Setting speed limit warning 2 ⇒page 84.
Note
Please bear in mind that, even with the speed warning function, it is still
important to keep a eye on the vehicle's speed with the speedometer and to
observe the legal speed limits.Setting speed limit warning 1
Use the CHECK button to set speed limit warning 1.Setting the speed limit
– Drive at the desired maximum speed.
– Press the CHECK button and hold it down until the symbol

Tyre pressure monitoring*Introduction
The tyre pressure monitoring system constantly checks the
pressure of the tyres.The system warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure by means of
symbols and messages in the instrument panel display. The system works
with the help of the ABS sensors in the wheels.
Please bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is also influenced by the
temperature of the tyre. Tyre pressure increases about 0.1 bar for each 10 °C
in tyre temperature increase. The tyre heats up while the vehicle is being
driven and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly. Therefore, you should only
adjust the tyre pressures when they are
cold (i.e. approximately at ambient
temperature).
To ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system works reliably, you should
check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures at regular intervals and
store the correct pressures (reference values) in the system.
A tyre pr essure i nfor ma ti on lab e l is a tta che d to t he insi de o f the fu el ta nk f lap.
WARNING
•Never adjust tyre pressure when the tyres are hot. This may damage or
even burst the tyres. Risk of accident!•An insufficiently inflated tyre flexes a lot more at high speeds and
causes significant heating of the tyre. Under these conditions, the tyre
bead may be released or the tyre may burst. Risk of accident!For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres lead to increased fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Note
•Responsibility for ensuring that the tyres are correctly inflated remains
with the driver; the system can only provide assistance.•Pressure can only be adjusted when the tyres are at ambient
temperature.
