Check coolant! Instruction Manual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, check the coolant level ⇒ page 179
and refill if necessary ⇒ page 180.
If the coolant is situated in the prescribed area, the high temperature may
be due to a fault in the cooling system fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and
replace it if necessary ⇒ page 214, Changing fuses in the engine compart-
ment.
If the warning lamp (red) remains lit up, despite both the coolant level
and the radiator fan fuse being in correct condition, stop the vehicle!

⇒ page 96. Bulb fault
The control lamp lights up when there is a fault in a bulb:
● For several seconds after switching on the ignition
● When connecting a faulty bulb
This is indicated on the informative display, e.g.: Check the front right dipped beam headlight!
Note
The rear side lights and number plate light contain several bulbs. The con-
trol lamp lights up only when there is a fault in all the number plate
bulbs or side light bulbs (of a combined tail light). Therefore it is advisable
to regularly check the bulb operation.
Emission control system
If the warning lamp is lit up, there is a fault in the emission system. The
engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
Seek professional help.
Preheating (diesel engines)

Controls and displays
If the warning lamp starts to flash while driving, there is a fault in the
engine power control electronic system. The engine control unit allows driv-
ing to continue in an emergency program.
Seek professional help.
Engine management (diesel engines)
If the warning lamp is lit up, there is a fault in the engine management
system. The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency
program.
Seek professional help.
Particulate filter (diesel engines)
The particulate filter eliminates soot from emissions. The particles accumu-
late in the filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp is lit up, the filter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traffic conditions ⇒
so permit) it
is essential to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the warning lamp
switches off) with 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S)
at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) with the engine speed between
1800-2500 1/min.
The warning lamp switches off once the filter has been successfully
cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the warning lamp does not
switch off and the warning lamp starts to flash.
The informative display indicates: Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
When switching the ignition off and on again, the warning lamp also
lights up.
Seek professional help.
WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high temperatures. Therefore, do
not park the vehicle in places where the exhaust pipe could come into
contact with dry grass or with highly-flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● Always adjust your speed to suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic
conditions. Never be encouraged, by the recommendations shown in the
warning lamps, to fail to respect traffic legislation.
CAUTION
While the warning lamp is lit up, the fuel consumption is high, and in
certain conditions, the engine power is reduced.
Note
● In order for the particulate filter to burn off soot in a correct manner,
avoid carrying out frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count can considerably reduce the
useful life of the particulate filter. The specialised service provides informa-
tion about the countries where fuel with a high sulphur content is used.
Fuel reserve
The warning lamp lights up when approximately only 7 litres of fuel re-
main in the tank.

whether an airbag is disabled.
If the front airbag, side airbag, head protection airbag or the belt tensioner
are disabled using the diagnostics system:
● After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp lights up for around
4 seconds and flashes for another 12 seconds.

lights up with the word placed in the centre part of the
dash panel ⇒ Fig. 24 ⇒ page 44.
WARNING
When there is a fault in the airbag system, have an inspection carried out
by an Authorised Service. Otherwise the airbags may fail to trigger in an
accident.
Tyre pressure monitoring
If the warning lamp lights up, the pressure of a tyre has decreased signif-
icantly. Check and adjust the pressure of all the tyres ⇒ page 187.
If the warning lamp flashes, there is a fault in the system.
Seek professional help.
Further information ⇒ page 192, Tyre pressure.
