Bulb defect* ο£
The indicator lights up when a bulb is not functioning. The ο£ warning lamp lights up when there is a fault on the turn signals,
headlights, side lights and fog lights. ο
Washer fluid οΉ
This warning lamp lights up to indicate that the windscreen
washer level is too low. This serves as a reminder to fill up the reservoir at the earliest opportunity
ββpage 209. ο
Rear fog light* οͺ
This warning lamp lights up when the rear fog light is switched on οͺ. For
further information see ββpage 100. ο
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)* οͺ
A control lamp monitors the ABS.
The control lamp οͺ should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out again after the system has run through an automat-
ic test sequence. There is a fault in the ABS if:
β
The control lamp οͺ does not light up when the ignition is switched on.
β The control lamp does not go out again after a few seconds
β The control lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way, without the ABS function.
Take the vehicle to a specialised workshop as soon as possible. For further
information on the ABS go to ββpage 169.
If there is a fault in the ABS, the ESC* and the tyre pressure control lamp will
also light up.
Brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp οͺ lights up together with the brake warning lamp
ο¨ , this indicates not only a fault in the ABS function, but also a possible
fault in the brake system ββ
.
WARNING
β Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings on
ββpage 200, Working in the engine compartment.
β If the brake system warning lamp ο¨ should light up together with the
ABS warning lamp οͺ, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake
fluid level in the reservoir ββpage 213, Brake fluid. If the brake fluid lev-
el has dropped below the βMINβ mark you must not drive on. Risk of acci-
dent. Obtain technical assistance.
β If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may
have been caused by a failure of the ABS system. This could cause the
rear wheels to lock quickly when you brake. This could cause the rear to
break away. Risk of skidding. Stop the vehicle and seek technical assis-
tance.

Main beam headlights ο€
This control lamp lights up when the main beams are on.
The warning lamp ο€ is switched on once main beams are on or once the
headlight flasher is operating.
For further information see ββpage 106. ο
Electro-hydraulic steering* ο
The level of steering assistance depends on the vehicle speed and on the
steering wheel turning speed.
The control lamp should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It should go out once the engine is started.
There is a fault in the electro-hydraulic steering system if the lamp does not
go out or lights up whilst the vehicle is in motion. Take the vehicle to the
Technical Service as soon as possible.
Note
When towing the vehicle with the engine stopped or due to a fault in the
power steering, this will not operate. The vehicle can still be steered, but it
will require greater force to turn the steering wheel. οEmission control system* οΈ
This warning lamp monitors the exhaust system.
Control lamp οΈ flashes:
When there is misfiring that can damage the catalytic converter. Reduce
speed and drive carefully to the nearest specialised workshop to have the
engine checked.
Control lamp οΈ is lit:
If a fault has developed during driving which has reduced the quality of the
exhaust gas (e.g. lambda probe fault). Reduce speed and drive carefully to
the nearest specialised workshop to have the engine checked. ο
Coolant level*/temperature οΏ
The warning lamp lights up if the coolant temperature is too
high or if the coolant level is too low.
There is a fault if:
β The warning symbol does not go out again after a few seconds.
β The warning lamp lights up or flashes while the vehicle is moving, and
three acoustic warning signals ββ
are emitted.
This means that either the coolant level is too low or the coolant tempera-
ture is too high.
Coolant temperature too high
If the warning light comes on, stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
wait for it to cool down. Check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunc-
tion of the radiator fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have it replaced if
necessary ββpage 231. ο£

Instrument and switch lighting / Headlight range control
Fig. 56 Dash panel: reg-
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
ββFig. 56 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. ο
Daytime driving lights*

Adaptive headlights* (for driving round bends)
When driving around bends, the headlights will light the
most important areas of the road.
Fig. 57 Cornering light-
ing using adaptive head-
lights
This cornering light gives better illumination of the side of the road and the
corner area. The dynamic lighting is controlled automatically according to
speed and the steering wheel angle.
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 (6 mph). ο
Fog lights with cornering function*
This is an additional light source to dipped beam headlights
to light up the road as a bend is taken.
The cornering light operates with the lights switched on and when driving at
less than 40 Km/h (25 mph). They light up when the steering wheel is
turned or the flashers are operated.
Forward gear
β If the steering wheel is turned to the right, or the right-hand turn signal
operated, the right-hand headlight lights up.
β If the steering wheel is turned to the left, or the left-hand flasher operat-
ed, the left-hand headlight lights up.
In reverse gear both headlights light up.
Note
When the fog lamps are on, the cornering function is activated and both
headlights are continuously on. ο
