Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights
34If the warning light
 does not go out or lights up
after starting the engine, a fault
exists in the engine control. The engine
management system selects an emergency
programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:

The glow plug indicato
r light will come on for about 1
second if the engine is at a
normal operating temperature
or if the outside temperature is above +5°C. This
means that you can start the engine
right away
.
There is a fault in the glow plug system if the
warning light
 does not come on
or
lights up continuously
; contact a specialist garage as soon as possible to obtain
assistance. If the
warning light
 begins
to flash
while driving, a fault exists in the engine
control. The engine management system
selects an emergency programme which
enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:

does not go out or flashes while driving. 3 peeps sound as an additional warning signal.
In this case stop and switch the engine off
and check the coolant level; top up the
coolant as necessary. Do not continue your journey
if for some reason it is not possible under the condi-
tions prevailing to top up with coolant.
Keep the engine switched off
and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe engine damage. If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be caused by an operating problem at the coolant fan.
Check the fuse for the coolant fan, replace
it if necessary
⇒page 234, “Fuse assignment in engi
ne compartment - version 1” or
⇒ page 236, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment - version 2”. Do not continue driving
if the warning light does not go off although the fluid is at the
correct level and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order. Contact a specialist garage to obtain assistance. Please also refer to the additional instructions
⇒page 207, “Cooling system”.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:

•
Take care when opening the coolant expa
nsion bottle. If the engine is hot,
the cooling system is pressurized - risk of
scalding! It is best
to allow the engine
to cool down before removing the cap.•
Do not touch the coolant fan The coolant fan may switch on automatically
even if the ignition is off.Traction control system (TCS)

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The warning light flashes quickly when a control cycle is activated while driving.The warning light flashes slowly if the TCS system is switched off.
4)The warning light
 on vehicles fitted with information display does not come on after switching
the ignition on, but only if the coolant temperatur
e is too high or the coolant level is too low.

– The light switches on automatically when
the parking light is switched on and goes
out when the flap is closed.
The interior light comes on as soon as you
unlock the car or open
a door or when the
ignition key has been removed. The light go
es out again about 30 seconds after all the
doors have been closed. The interior lighting
is switched off when you lock the car or
switch the ignition on. This only applies wh
en the switch for the corresponding interior
lights is standing n the door contact setting. The interior lighting goes off after about 10
minutes when a door has been left open in
order to avoid discharging the battery of the vehicle. If the switch is in the position
 (permanent lights), the interior lighting goes off at the
latest after 10 minutes in order to avoi
d discharging the battery of the vehicle.
Two diffuse lights* are integrated in the in
terior lighting, which
illuminates the shift
lever and the middle of the dash panel.
They are switched on automatically when
switching on the parking light. On vehicles with interior monitor, the il
lumination unit does not have any diffuse

Technical Data
Recirculated air mode In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air
outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a
tunnel or when standi
ng in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button
⇒page 99, fig. 109
the warning light lights up in the
button.
Switching recirculated air mode off– Press again the button - the warning light in the button goes out. The recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control is in position
 ⇒page 99, fig. 109
. You can also switch recirculated air mode on
again from this setting by re
peatedly pressing button .
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your atten- tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the air conditioning syst
em uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption. It recommended to open the windows or the
doors of a vehicle for which the interior
has been strongly heated through the effect
of direct sunlight in order to allow the
heated air to escape. The cooling system should not be switched
on while travelling when the window is
open.
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you
also reduce pollutant emissions.
Operational problemsIf the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:•
The fuse on the air conditioning system has blown. Check the fuse, replace it if
necessary
⇒page 233.
•
The cooling system has switched off auto
matically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
⇒page 17.
If you are not able to rectify the operational
problem yourself, or if the cooling capacity
decreases, switch the cooling system off. Contact a specialist garage.Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating, fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occu-pants of the car.The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which elim- inates the need to alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode

ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all times of the year. Description of Climatronic system The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:•

ately operated after switchin
g off the engine, the starter
or the engine can be damaged.•
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttle and high engine loads as long as the
engine has not yet reached its normal oper
ating temperature - risk of damaging the
engine!•
Vehicles which are fitted with an exhaust gas catalytic converter should not be tow-
started over a distance of more than 50 metres.
For the sake of the environment
Never warm up the engine when the vehicle
is standing. Drive off right away. Through
this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emis- sions are lower.Petrol enginesThese engines are fitted with a starter system which selects the correct fuel-air mixture for every external air temperature.•
Do not operate accelerator before and when starting engine.
•
Interrupt the attempt at starting after 10
seconds if the engine does not start right
awayand wait for about 30 seconds before repeating the attempt.•
It is possible that the fuse on the electric
al fuel pump is defect if the engine still
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary
⇒page 233.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
It may be necessary, if the engine is
very hot
, to slightly depress the accelerator after
the engine has started.
Diesel enginesGlow plug system Diesel engines are equipped with a glow plug system, the preglow period being controlled automatically in
line with the coolant temperature and outside tempera-
ture. The preglow indicator light
 comes on after the ignition has been switched on.
You should not switch on any major electrical components during the heating period otherwise the vehicle battery
will be drained unnecessarily.
•
You should start the engine immediately after the glow plug warning light
 has
gone out.•
The glow plug warning light will come on for about one second if the engine is at a
normal operating temperature or if the outside temperature is above +5°C. This means that you can start the engine
right away
.
•
Interrupt the attempt at starting after 10 seconds if the engine does not start right
awayand wait for about 30 seconds before repeating the attempt.•
It is possible that the fuse
on the diesel preglow system is defect if the engine still
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary
⇒page 233.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
Starting the engine after
the fuel tank has run dry
It may take longer than normal to start the
engine after refuelling if the fuel tank has
run completely dry - up to one minute. This is
because the fuel system must first of all
be filled while the attempting to start the engine.Switching off the engine– The engine can be switched off by turnin
g the ignition key from position into

Caution
•
Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do
not replace them with a fuse of a higher
amperage - risk of fire! This may also caus
e damage at another part of the electrical
system.•
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage if a
newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
