The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a dangerous area! 
Before you open the bonnet to work on the engine or in the engine compart-
ment, you must switch off the engine and  allow it to cool to reduce the risk 
of scalding or other injuries. Read and observe the relevant warnings 
⇒ page 203.Note
•
The appropriate warning lamp for a fa ult will light up in vehicles without 
warning or information texts in the display.
•
In vehicles with warning or information texts in the display, the appro-
priate warning lamp for a fault will ligh t up and a warning or information text 
will also appear in the display.
Fuel level / reserve 
This symbol lights up to indicate that the fuel tank is down to 
the reserve level.This lights when only 7 litres of fuel remain in the tank. Also, an  audible

The warning symbol does not go 
out again after a few seconds.
•
The warning lamp lights up or flashes while the vehicle is moving, while 
three acoustic warning signals  ⇒  are emitted.
This means that either the coolant level is too low or the coolant temperature 
is too high.
Coolant temperature too high
The message displayed in  the  instrument panel display  is 
10) : CHECK 
COOLANT INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL .
First look at the coolant temperature gauge. The coolant temperature is too 
high if the needle is over the warning area on the dial.  Stop the vehicle, 
switch off the engine and wa it for it to cool down. Check the coolant level.
If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction 
of the radiator fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and have it replaced if neces-
sary  ⇒page 235.
If the warning lamp lights  up again after driving on for a short distance,  stop 
the vehicle and switch off the engine. Contact an Authorised Service Centre 
or a qualified workshop.

WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings on 
⇒ page 203, “Working in the engine compartment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up when 
driving, the brake fluid level  ⇒ page  216, “Br
 ake fluid” in the reser voir is 
too low. Risk of accident. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain tech-
nical assistance.
•
If the brake warning lamp 
 lights up together with the ABS warning 
lamp 
, the control function of the ABS could be out of action. This could 
cause the rear wheels to lock quickly  when you brake. This could cause the 
rear to break away. Risk of skidding. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified 
workshop and have the fault corrected.

Engine oil pressure 
This warning lamp indicates that the engine oil pressure is 
too low.If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is accompanied by three  audible 
warnings , switch off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is too 
low, add more engine oil  ⇒page 206.
The  message  displayed  in the instrument  panel display  is 
15): STOP ENGINE 
OIL PRESSURE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL .
If the symbol flashes although the oil level is correct,  do not drive on. The 
engine must not even run at idle speed. Obtain technical assistance.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) 
A warning lamp system monitors the ABS.The warning  lamp 
 
should light up  for a few seconds when the ignition  is 
switched on. It goes out again after th e system has run through an automatic 
test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
The warning lamp 
 does not light up when the ignition is switched on.
•
The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds.
•
The warning lamp lights up  when the vehicle is moving.
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the ABS control 
function will not function). Please take  the vehicle to a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible. For further information on the ABS see the  ⇒page 175.
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP* warning lamp will also light up. Brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp 
 lights up together with the brake warning lamp 
, this indicates not only a fault in the 
ABS function, but also a possible fault 
in the brake system .  ⇒
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings on 
⇒ page 203.
•
If the brake warning lamp 
 should light up together with the ABS 
warning lamp 
, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid 
level in the reservoir  ⇒page 216, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level has 
dropped below the “MIN” mark you must not drive on. Risk of accident. 
Obtain technical assistance.
•
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. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified workshop 
and have the fault corrected.
Differential lock fault (EDL)*
EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with an 
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)*A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning lamp 
. Please 
take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon as possible. For further infor-
mation on the EDL  ⇒ page 178.

78Traction control system (TCS)*
The traction control system prevents the driven wheels from 
spinning when the vehicle is acceleratingThe warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and should turn 
out after about 2 seconds.
When the TCS is operating while drivi ng, the warning lamp flashes. If the 
system is deactivated or if there is any fault in the same, the warning lamp will 
remain lit.
It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the TCS oper-
ates in conjunction with the ABS. For further information see  ⇒page 175Soot ac cumulation in the diesel engine pa rticle filter* 
if the symbol 
 lights, soot has built up in the diesel engine particle filter 
due to continuous short trips. In this case, drive the vehicle at a constant 
speed of at least 60 km/h (with and  engine speed of about 1400 rpm) for 
about 10 minutes. The increase in temperature generated may burn the accu-
mulated soot in the filter.
If the symbol  is not deactivated, bring the vehicle to a specialized work-
shop to repair the fault.
For more information on the diesel particle filter  ⇒page 202
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 qualified 
workshop.
You should avoid using electrical equipment that is not absolutely necessary 
because this will drain the battery.
If the indicator flashes the voltage is insufficient for normal vehicle 
operation.
