Technical Data
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field
page 20, fig. 18 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the display.
A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance memory
(memory 2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button fig. 19 on the windscreen
wiper lever or with the help of the button on the multifunction steering wheel*
 page 21.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip 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. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other hand, if the trip
is interrupted for more than 2 hours .
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers da ta from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1.999 kilometres driven and
on vehicles which are fitted with informatio n display* up to a total of 99 hours and 59
minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of
these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after a
period of interr uption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.

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 in the infor-
mation display.
The ESP system cannot be switched off, only the TCS system can be switched off by
pressing the button page 163, fig. 146 , the warning light
 lights up.
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 the lighting up of the ESP
warning light in the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected immediately by
your specialist garage. Further information on the EDL page 164, “Electronic Differ-
ential 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 122.
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 216.
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
If the warning light flashes, there is a system fault. Visit the nearest specialist garage and
have the fault rectified.
Further information about the tyre pressure monitoring 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
delay at the nearest possible stop and in spect the tyres and their inflation pres-
sures.

Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light
 can be delayed or does not light up at all.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected, the warning light
 comes on after switching on
the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short distance.
Antilock brake system (ABS)

The warning light
 shows the functionality of the ABS.
The warning light comes on for a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on
or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic check
sequence has been completed.
A fault in the ABS
The system is not functioning properly if the ABS warning light
 does not go out
within a few seconds after switching on the igni tion, does not light up at all or lights up
while driving. The vehicle will only be br aked by the normal brake system. Visit a
