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*:

Glow plug system
(diesel engine)
The warning light
lights up for a
cold
engine when switching on the ignition (pre-
heat position)
2 ⇒page 109. Start the engine after the indicator light goes out.
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*:

Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds
4) when the ignition is switched on.
The coolant temperature is too high or the
coolant level too low if the warning light
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”.

Technical Data
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the TCS system. The fact that the TCS system operates together with the ABS means that the TCS warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly. If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the TCS system
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the TCS system can be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the TCS system is fully functional again. Further information about the TCS
⇒page 165, “Traction control system (TCS)”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected, the warning light
comes on
after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short distance.Electronic stability programme (ESP)*
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on.
When the ESP helps to stabilise the vehicle (for example when applying and releasing a braking force to an individual wheel), then the warning light
flashes quickly in the
information display. The ESP system cannot be switched off, the
TCS system can only be switched off by
pressing the button
⇒page 163, fig. 154
, then the warning light flashes slowly
.
The warning light lights up permanently
if there is a fault in the ESP system.
The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly. If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP system
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESP system can be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP system is fully functional again. Further information on the ESP
⇒page 163, “Electronic stability programme (ESP)*”.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)* The EDL is a part of the ESP. A fault in the
EDL is indicated by th
e ESP warning light in
the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected immediately by your specialist garage. Further information on the EDL
⇒page 164, “Electronic Differential Lock
(EDL)*”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected, the warning light
comes on
after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short distance.Selector lever lock*
If the
green
warning light
lights up, operate the brake pedal. This is necessary, in
order to be able to move the selector lever out of the position
P or N.
Further information about the selector lever lock
⇒page 123.
Tyre inflation pressure*
The warning light
lights up, if there is a substantial drop in inflation pressure in one
of the tyres. Reduce the speed and check or
correct as soon as possible the inflation
pressure in the tyres
⇒page 215.
If the warning light flashes, there is a system fault. Visit the nearest specialist garage and have the fault rectified. Further information about tyre pressure-control system
⇒page 169.
WARNING
•
When the warning light
lights up, immediately reduce the speed and
avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvr
es. Please stop the vehicle without

safe securing
6) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes
the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door ha
ndle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as
an effective deterrent for attemp
ts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing sy
stem by locking twice within 2°seconds.
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 slowly again after about 30°seconds. The safe securing system is again activate
d the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
