WARNING
● Failure to observe control lamps and warning messages can result in
serious personal injuries or damage to your vehicle.
● The risk of an accident increases if your vehicle breaks down. Use a
warning triangle to draw the attention of other road users in order to pre-
vent danger to third parties.
● The engine compartment is a dangerous area. Before you open the
bonnet to work on the engine or in the engine compartment, you must
switch the engine off and allow it to cool to reduce the risk of scalding or
other injuries. Read and observe the relevant warnings ⇒ page 206.
Note
● The appropriate control lamp for a fault will light up in vehicles without
warning or information messages in the display.
● In vehicles with warning or information messages on the screen, the ap-
propriate control lamp for a fault will light up and a warning or information
message will also appear on the screen. Overview of control and warning lamps (vehicles with LPG)

Warning symbols
There are red warning symbols (priority 1) and yellow warning sym-
bols (priority 2).
Warning messages, Priority 1 (red)
If one of these faults occurs, the warning lamp will flash or light up and will
be accompanied by three audible warnings. This is a danger warning. Stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine. Check the fault and correct it. Obtain
professional assistance if necessary. If several priority 1 faults are detected at the same time, the symbols will be
displayed one after the other for about 2 seconds at a time and will contin-
ue until the fault is corrected.
No menus will be shown in the display for the duration of a priority 1 warn-
ing message.
Examples of priority 1 warning messages (red)
●
Brake system symbol  with the warning message STOP BRAKE FLUID
INSTRUCTION MANUAL or STOP BRAKE FAULT INSTRUCTION MANUAL .

Warning messages, Priority 2 (yellow)
If one of these faults occurs, the warning lamp lights up, and is accompa-
nied by one audible warning. Check the corresponding function as soon as
possible although the vehicle may be used without risk.
If several priority 2 warning messages are detected at the same time, the
symbols are displayed one after the other for about 2 seconds at a time. Af-

If the control lamp lights up again after driving on for a short distance, stop
the vehicle and switch the engine off . Contact a Technical Service or a spe-
cialised workshop.
Coolant level too low
If the warning light comes on, stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
wait for it to cool down First check the coolant level. If the level of the cool-
ant is below the “MIN” mark, top up with coolant liquid ⇒ 
.
WARNING
● If your vehicle is immobilised for technical reasons, move it to a safe
distance from traffic. Turn the engine off, turn the hazard lights on and
place the warning triangle.
● Never open the bonnet if you can see or hear steam or coolant escap-
ing from the engine compartment. Risk of scalding. Wait until you can no
longer see or hear escaping steam or coolant.

Alternator 
This warning lamp signals a fault in the alternator.
The warning lamp  lights up when the ignition is switched on. It should
go out when the engine has started running.
If the warning lamp  lights up while driving, the alternator is no longer
charging the battery. You should immediately drive to the nearest special-
ised workshop. You should avoid using electrical equipment that is not absolutely necessa-
ry because this will drain the battery.

Instrument and switch lighting / Headlight range control

ulation for instrument
and switch lighting and
headlight range control
Instrument and switch lighting 1
When the headlights are switched on, the brightness of the instruments
and switch lighting can be regulated to suit your requirements by turning
the thumb wheel
⇒ Fig. 58 1
.
Vehicles fitted with xenon gas discharge headlights are fitted with an auto-
matic headlight range system.
The instrument lighting (some dials and needles), the centre console light-
ing and the lighting of the displays are regulated by a photodiode incorpo-
rated in the instrument panel.
The instrument lighting (needles) is switched on when the ignition is on and
the light is off . The instrument lighting is dimmed automatically as the day-
light starts to fade. It goes out completely when the ambient light level is
very low. This function is intended to remind the driver to switch on the dip-
ped beam headlights in good time when light conditions become poor. Headlight range control
2
By using the electrical headlight range control, 2 you can adjust the head-
light range to the load level that is being carried in the vehicle. This way, it
is possible to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic more than necessary. At the
same time, by using the correct headlight settings, the driver has the best
possible lighting for the road ahead.
The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam is switched on.
To lower the beam, turn the thumb wheel down 2
from the basic setting
0.
Dynamic headlight range control
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) are equipped with dynamic
headlight range control . When you switch on the lights, their range regu-
lates itself according to the vehicle load.
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs do not have headlight range control. 
Daytime driving lights*
Daytime driving lights light up automatically when the igni-
tion is switched on (only with AFS headlights)
Daylight driving lights switch off automatically when the side lights are
switched on.
Activating daytime lights (bi-xenon lamps)
Remove the key from the ignition, move the turn signal lever upwards (right
turn signal), press it backwards to flash position and hold in this position.
Insert the key and switch the ignition on, holding it in this position for 3
seconds. Then, switch off the ignition. The daytime lights are activated and
can be switched on. 

144Air conditioning
Automatic mode
In automatic mode air temperature, air flow and distribution
are automatically regulated so that a specified temperature
is attained as quickly as possible, and then maintained.
Switching on automatic mode
– Press the AUTO
button. The indication
⇒ Fig. 107 3 is dis-
played.
– Press keys 10
and 11 ⇒ Fig. 107 to adjust the desired tempera-
ture inside the vehicle. We recommend +22 °C (+72 °F).
A comfortable interior climate is quickly reached when a temperature of
+22 °C (+72 °F) is set in automatic mode. Therefore, we recommend you not
to change this adjustment, except as necessary to suit individual preferen-
ces or particular circumstances. It is possible to select interior temperatures
from +18 °C (+64 °F) to +29 °C (+86 °F). If a lower or higher temperature is
selected, LO or HI are respectively displayed on the screen. These are ap-
proximate temperatures which may slightly vary depending on the outside
conditions.
Climatronic maintains a constant temperature. To do so, it automatically
regulates the supplied air temperature, the blower speed and the air distri-
bution. The system also considers the sunlight radiation, so there is no
need for manual readjustment. Therefore, automatic mode almost always
provides the best comfort for the vehicle occupants throughout the year.
Automatic mode is switched off whenever an adjustment is made using the
buttons for air distribution or blower. The temperature continues to self-reg-
ulate. Manual mode
In manual mode the air temperature, flow, and the desired
air distribution can be adjusted.
Switching on manual mode
– Press one of the buttons ⇒ Fig. 107 14
to 16 or press the blow-
er control 8 and 9 down. The indicator is switched off 3.
Temperature
It is possible to select interior temperatures from +18 °C (+64 °F) to +29 °C
(+86 °F). These are approximate temperatures which may slightly vary de-
pending on the outside conditions.
If you select temperatures below +18 °C (+64 °F), the indication LO will ap-
pear on the screen. In this setting the system runs at maximum cooling out-
put and the temperature is not regulated.
If a temperature above +29 °C (+86 °F) is selected, the screen will show HI.
In this setting the system runs at maximum heating output and the temper-
ature is not controlled.
Blower
The blower can be adjusted with buttons 8
and 9 ⇒ Fig. 107. If the blow-
er is off (level 1 is not shown on the screen) and button 9 is pressed after
1 second, the Climatronic switches off.
Air distribution
The air distribution is adjusted using the buttons 
,  and . It is also
possible to open and close some of the air outlets separately.
Switching the air conditioning on and off
Pressing the button AC
the air cooling system can be switched off in order
to save fuel. The temperature continues to self-regulate. The set tempera-
ture can then only be reached if it is higher than the outside temperature. 
