Instruments and warning lamps
Coolant level and temperature If the warning lamp
(blue) is lit up, the en-
gine h a
s not yet reached its operating tem-
perature 1)
. Avoid high engine speeds, hard
acceleration and subjecting the engine to
high loads.
If the warning lamp (red) is lit up or flash-
ing, the c
oolant temperature is too high or its
level is too low.
The informative display indicates:
Check coolant! Instruction Manual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, check
the coolant level ›››
page 138 and refill if
nec e
ssary ››› page 138.
If the c
oolant is situated in the prescribed
area, the high temperature may be due to a
fault in the cooling system fan. Check the ra-
diator fan fuse and replace it if necessary
››› page 165, Changing fuses in the engine
compartment
.
If the warning lamp (red) remains lit up,
despite both the coolant level and the radia-
tor fan fuse being in correct condition,
stop the vehicle!
Go to a technical service. WARNING
● Take care when opening the coolant reser-
voir. When the engine is warm or hot, the
system is pressurised – Danger of burns!
Wait for the engine to cool before opening
the cover.
● Do not touch the fan. The fan can switch on
automatically regardless of whether the igni-
tion is switched on. Power steering
If the
warning lamp is illuminated, there is
a fault in the power steering.
The power steering system functions with re-
duced power steering effect.
Go to a technical service.
Stability Control (ESC) If the control lamp
flashes, the ESC is
working.
If the warning lamp illuminates on igni-
tion, the ESC system may have switched off
due to technical reasons. Turn off the ignition
and turn it on again. Upon switching on the
ignition again, if the warning lamp has switched off, this means the ESC is function-
ing correctly again.
If the
warning lamp is illuminated there is
a f au
lt in the ESC.
The informative display indicates: Report No.: electronic stability control (ESC)
or Report No.: Traction control system (ASR)
Go to a technical service.
Further information ››› page 108, Stability
system (ESC). Note
If the battery is disconnected and connected
again, the yellow warning lamp lights up
when the ignition i s
switched on. This warn-
ing lamp must switch off after covering a
short distance. Traction control system (ASR)
If the control lamp
flashes, the ASR is
working.
If the
warning lamp illuminates on igni-
tion, the TCS system may have switched off
due to technical reasons. Turn off the ignition »1)

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 control 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 con-
trol unit allows driving to continue in an
emergency program.
Go to a technical service.

lamp lights up. The engine can be started
straight away when the lamp switches off.
If the
warning lamp
does not illuminate or
if it
does not switch off , there is a fault in the
glow plug system.
If the warning lamp starts to flash
while

Roll-back function on electric
windows
The electric windows are equipped with a
roll-back system that reduces risk of injury
when closing windows.
If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
nism will stop and the window will roll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next
10 seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force
.
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-
back function will be once again connected. Lights and visibility
Lights Introduction The location of the controls of
right-hand
drive cars differs slightly from the location
sho wn her
e ››› Fig. 45 ››› page 61. However,
the symbols indicating the respective posi-
tions of the controls remain the same. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The
side lights are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you. Always use
your dipped beam headlights if it is dark or if
visibility is poor. CAUTION
● Use the lights in line with local law.
● However, drivers always remain responsi-
ble for correctly adjusting and using the
lights. Note
● An audible warning will be heard when the
light control is set to and you remove the
ignition k ey
and open the door. Once the
driver door is closed (ignition off), the audi-
ble warning will stop, whereas the side lights will remain on to light up the stationary vehi-
cle in case this is necessary.
● Depending on weather conditions (cold or
wet), the lights may mist up temporarily on
the inside. This is particularly the case in the
event of a difference in temperature between
the inside and in front of the light. By switch-
ing on the lights, the area through which the
beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted, although the edges may remain
misted. The real lights and turn signals can
mist up. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. Sidelight and headlight

combination with the daytime running lights
If the

daytime
r
unning lights are activated at the same
time, the dipped beams and the instrument
panel lighting will automatically come on as
required (e.g. when entering a tunnel) and
the daytime running lights will switch off.
When the automatic dipped beam control
switches off the dipped beams (e.g. when
coming out of a tunnel), the daytime running
lights come back on. WARNING
The rear lights do not come on with the day-
time driving light. A vehicle which does not
have the rear lights on may not be visible to
other drivers in the darkness, if it is raining
or in conditions of poor visibility. Note
Please observe any relevant legal require-
ments which may apply in your country. 62
