If the warning lamp lights up continuously you should take your vehicle to a
specialised workshop as soon as possible in order to have the fault repaired.
If the warning lamp flashes drive on at reduced speed and seek professional
help in order to avoid damage to the catalytic converter.
For further information on the catalytic converter, see ⇒page 198.Airbag system
T
This warning lamp monitors the airbag and belt tension
device system.The warning lamp
Tshould light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up, flashes or flickers when
the vehicle is moving, this indicates a malfunction in the system.
WARNING
If a malfunction should occur, have the system checked immediately by a
qualified workshop. Otherwise there is a risk that the airbag system
and/or belt tensioners may not be triggered in an accident.
Tyre pressure warning lamp*

The tyre pressure should be corrected as soon as possible if
it is too low.

68Entire brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
J lights up together with the brake warning lamp
H ⇒ 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
⇒ .
The symbol
H 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
J to indicate an EDL fault. Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop
as soon as possible. For further information on the EDL, see ⇒page 193.WARNING
•Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level, observe
the warning information in ⇒page 229, “Work in the engine compart-
ment”.•If the brake warning lamp
H should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
J, 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, as there is a risk of accident. Obtain technical assist-
ance.
•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 special-
ised workshop and have the fault repaired.
Seat belt warning lamp*
h
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.
Turn signals and hazard warning lights
Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left
or right
turn
signal lamp flashes. Both turn signal lamps will flash when the hazard
warning lights are switched on.
If a 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 bulb does not
work, either on the trailer or on the towing vehicle, the turn signal bulb will
not flash. For further information on the turn signals, see ⇒page 123.
Electronic Stability Programme
!
This warning lamp monitors the Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP).The warning lamp
! has the following functions:

78•If the brake warning lamp lights up together with the ABS warning
lamp, this can mean that there is a fault in the ABS control function. As a
result, the rear wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. Under
certain circumstances, the rear of the vehicle could suddenly sway from
side to side, with the subsequent dang er of skidding. Drive carefully to the
nearest specialised workshop and have the fault repaired.
Fault in the cooling system
Faults in the cooling system must be repaired immediately.If the
symbol flashes in the display, this means that either the
coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. The
following message will appear in the display together with the
symbol:
Switch off engine and check coolant level
– Stop the vehicle.
– Switch the engine off.
– Check the coolant level ⇒page 234.
– Add more coolant if necessary ⇒page 235.
– Wait for the symbol to go out before driving on.
– Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction
of the radiator fan. If the alternator warning lamp lights up as well
⇒page 69, it is possible that
the drive belt has broken.
Caution
Do not drive on if the symbol
v has come on to indicate a fault in the cooling
system, otherwise there is a risk of engine damage.
Engine oil pressure too low
E
If the engine oil pressure is too low the fault must be repaired
immediately.If the
E
symbol flashes in the display, the oil pressure is too low.
The following message will appear in the display together with the
symbol:
Switch off engine, check oil level
– Stop the vehicle.
– Switch the engine off.
– Check the engine oil level ⇒page 232.
– Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
Engine oil level too low
If the engine oil level is too low, add more oil ⇒page 233.
Engine oil level correct
If the
E symbol flashes and the engine oil level is correct, obtain profes-
sional assistance. Do not drive on! Do not continue to run the engine, even at
idle speed .
