The driving data is displayed on the multifunction display. The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road sur-
face! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature display
for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures.
MemoryFig. 6
Multi-function display - Display
example of the memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 13.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories, 1 and 2. The
selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 6 .
Exchange between memories is made with the
B
button on the wiper
stalk » Fig. 7 on page 14.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual
journeys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1,999 kilometres driv-
en. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1
and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected.

15warning lights and instruments
Page 21 of 176
CAUTIONThe red oil pressure light is not an oil level indicator! One should therefore
check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably after every refuelling stop.
Coolant
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 16.
The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on.
If the warning light
lights up or flashes, either the coolant temperature is too
high or the coolant level is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning tone.
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, check the level of the coolant » page 132,
and refill the coolant if necessary » page 133.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top up the
coolant under the prevailing conditions. This can cause serious engine damage.
Therefore, switch the engine off and seek help from a specialist garage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan. Check the fuse for the radia-
tor fan, replace if necessary » page 156, Fuses in the engine compartment .
Do not continue driving if the warning light
does not go off even though the
coolant level is correct and the fuse for the fan is in working order!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNINGIf you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis- tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
lights » page 36 .
Power steering
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 16.
The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on.
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up con-
tinuously, a fault exists in the electromechanical power steering.
› If the
yellow warning light lights up
, this indicates a partial failure of the
power steering and the steering forces can be greater.
› If the
red warning light lights up
, this indicates a complete failure of the pow-
er steering and the steering assist has failed (significantly higher steering forces).
Further information » page 66.
Note
■
If the yellow warning light goes out after starting the engine again and driv-
ing a short distance, it is not necessary to visit a specialist garage.■
If the vehicle battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the yellow warn-
ing light comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light should go
out after driving a short distance.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 16.
The warning light flashes
to show that the ESC is currently operating.
If the warning light
lights up, there is a fault in the ESC.
As the ESC operates in conjunction with the ABS, the ESP warning light will also come on if the ABS system fails.
If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESC
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESC can be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESC is fully functional again.

Keys without remote control
Keys with remote control (remote control keys)
WARNING■ Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) – risk of injury!■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally –
risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
■
The function of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters located near the vehicle that operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phones, television transmitters).
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking does react to the remote
control at less than around 3 metres away » page 23.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.

Safe securing systemFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 25.
The central locking system is equipped with a safe securing system. The door
locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside. The warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it be-gins to flash evenly at longer intervals. It is not possible to open the doors withthe door handle either from the inside or from the outside. This acts as an effec-
tive deterrent against attempts to break into your vehicle.
The safe securing system can be deactivated within 2 seconds by double locking
the vehicle.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash evenly at longer in-
tervals after about 30 seconds.
The safe securing system is activated again the next time the vehicle is unlocked and locked.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, the door can
be opened from the inside by a single pull on opening lever of the respective
door.
WARNINGIf the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then no longer pos-
sible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
You will be informed that the safe securing system has been activated after the
vehicle has been locked by means of the message on the instrument clus-
ter display.

With the remote control key, the vehicle can be locked or unlocked and the boot
lid unlocked.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle. The operating range of
the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range of the remote control can
be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or replaced, thesystem must be initialised by a specialist garage. Only then can the remote con-
trol key be used again.
Note
■ The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3 metres away » page 23.

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of the controls differs
from that shown in » Fig. 22 on page 33 . The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are however identical.
WARNING■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on.■
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the
headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has no
influence on the life of the lighting system.
