speed, engine speed, the state of some vehicle systems and the like.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster, the following message will appear
in the display.

» Fig. 20 on page 30 or » Fig. 21 on page 30 shows the ac-
tual engine speed per minute.
The beginning of the red scale range of the tachometer indicates the maxi-
mum permitted engine speed of a driven-in and operating warm engine.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu- tion counter is reached or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 44.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!56730Operation

The warning lights indicate certain functions or faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
The condition of some features and systems is shown by the warning icons on
the display » page 38.

Page 38 of 216
If the warning light is illuminated , this indicates a partial failure of the Pow-
er Steering and the steering forces can be greater. Seek assistance from a spe-
cialist garage immediately.
Steering lock (engine start push-button)
A long as the warning light
flashes , the steering lock cannot be released.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Move the steering wheel!
MOVE STEERING WHEEL
› Move the steering wheel slightly back and forth, thereby facilitating unlock-
ing the steering lock.
If the steering does also not unlock then, the help of a specialist garage is re-
quired.
If the warning light
flashes and a beep sounds, the electric steering lock is
faulty.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Steering lock: Workshop!
STEERING WORKSHOP
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
If the warning light
flashes and a beep sounds, the electric steering lock is
faulty.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Steering lock faulty. Stop!
STOP! VEHICLE STEERING FAULTY
Park the vehicle, and
stop driving . After switching off the ignition, it is no
longer possible to lock the steering, to activate the electrical components (e.g.
radio etc), to switch on the ignition again and to start the engine. Seek help
from a specialist garage.
Note
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the indicator
light comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light should go
out after driving a short distance. If, after the motor is restarted and a short
drive, the indicator light
does not go out, there is a system error. Seek assis-
tance from a specialist garage immediately.Stability Control (ESC) / Traction Control (ASR)
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light
flashes , the ESC or the ASR is just intervening at that
time.
If the warning light
lights up , there is an error in the ESC or the ASR.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Error: Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC ERROR
Error: Traction control
ASR ERROR
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
If the warning light comes on after starting the engine, the TCS may be
switched off for technical reasons.
›
Switch the ignition off and on again.
If the warning light does not illuminate after you switch the engine back on,
the ASR is fully functional again.
Further information » page 115, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or
» page 115 , Traction Control System (TCS) .
Note
The warning light comes on after the ignition is switched on if the vehicle's
battery has been disconnected and reconnected. If the indicator light does not
go out after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error in the
system. Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Traction control system (TCS) off
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light
is illuminated , the TCS is switched off.

Tyre pressureRead and observe
on page 34 first.
The warning light
is illuminated
If the warning light
comes on while driving, it means one of the tyres has
undergone a pressure change.
An audible signal sounds as a warning signal.
›
Immediately reduce speed and avoid sudden steering and braking manoeu-
vres.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and check the tyres and their inflation
pressure » page 162 .
›
Correct the tyre pressure, if necessary or replace the affected wheel
» page 170 or use the repair kit » page 173.
›
Store the tyre pressure values in the system
» page 127.
The indicator light flashes for about 1 min. and remains lit
If the warning light flashes for approximately 1 min. and stays on, there may
be a fault in the system of tyre pressure monitoring.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and start the engine again.
If the warning light flashes again after the engine has started, there is a
system error.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The following reasons can also apply if the warning light is illuminated.
› The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
› The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
› Snow chains are fitted.
› A wheel has been changed.
Store the tyre pressure values in the system » page 127.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light in the instrument cluster can be delayed or does
not light up at all.NoteThe warning light comes on after the ignition is switched on if the vehicle's
battery has been disconnected and reconnected. If the indicator light does not
go out after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error in the
system. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Fuel reserve
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
When the warning light
is illuminated , this means there is a fuel reserve of
under around 7 litres left.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Please refuel. Range: ... km
PLEASE REFUEL RANGE …
An audible signal sounds as a warning signal.
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
The text in the display goes out after refuelling and driving a short distance.
Turning signal system
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
Either the left or the right
warning light
flashes depending on the position
of the turn signal lever.
If there is a fault in the turn signal system, the warning light flashes at twice
its normal rate. This does not apply when towing a trailer.
When the hazard warning light system is switched on, this will cause all of the
turn signal lights as well as both warning lights to flash.
Trailer turn signal lights
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light
flashes , the trailer turn signal lights are turned on.
37Instruments and warning lights

The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation 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.
Long-term ( ) And “2” (
)
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9,999 kilometres driv-
en.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Since refuel ( ) or “3” (

The overview of the driving data information (the number of items displayed is
different depending on equipment).
Range
The range indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on
the level of fuel in the tank and with the same style of driving as before.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the warning icon
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the range. The
range can increase if you drive in a more fuel-efficient manner.
