Change oil within 600 miles. Engine
power may be decreased.
Once the engine oil has been
changed 3 154, the engine oil life
monitor needs to be reset. Seek the assistance of a workshop.

Y illuminates yellow.
When the engine is started, Y
illuminates briefly. If it does not
illuminate, seek the assistance of a workshop.
Illuminates during driving when fuel
level in tank is too low. Refuel
immediately 3 146.
Never run the tank dry. Erratic fuel
supply can cause catalytic converter
to overheat 3 129.
Diesel engines: if the tank has been
run dry, bleed the fuel system 3 161.
Fuel tank capacity 3 209.
Catalytic converter 3 129.
Drain fuel filter U illuminates yellow.
Illuminates when water level in diesel
fuel filter exceeds a specified level.
Residual water in the diesel fuel filter
must be drained 3 160. Seek the
assistance of a workshop as soon as
possible.Immobiliser
d illuminates red.
When the engine is started, d
illuminates briefly. If it does not
illuminate, seek the assistance of a workshop.
Illuminates to indicate a fault in the
immobiliser system. The engine
cannot be started.
Electronic immobiliser 3 27.
Reduced engine power
# illuminates yellow.
Illuminates in conjunction with control
indicator g, the vehicle needs a
service. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles, stop the
engine and restart after 10 seconds.
The engine power is limited. Consult
a workshop.
Apply footbrake - illuminates yellow.

Service information In order to ensure economical and
safe vehicle operation and to
maintain the value of your vehicle, it
is of vital importance that all
maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified.
The detailed, up-to-date service
schedule for the vehicle is available at
the workshop.
Service display 3 81.
European service intervals Main service
Maintenance of your vehicle is
required every 20,000 miles or after 1 year , whichever occurs first, unless
otherwise indicated in the service
display.
A shorter service interval can be valid for severe driving behaviour, e.g. for
taxis and police vehicles.
The European service intervals are
valid for the following countries:Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Greenland, Hungary,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia,
Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, United
Kingdom.
Service display 3 81.
International service intervals Main service
Maintenance of your vehicle is
required every 10,000 miles or
1 year , whichever occurs first, unless
otherwise indicated in the service
display.
The international service intervals are valid for the countries which are notlisted in the European service
intervals.

Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet.The date and mileage is completed
with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
Warranty Booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is
also a benefit when selling the
vehicle.
Service interval with remaining engine oil life duration The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
The service display lets you know
when to change the engine oil.
Service display 3 81.Recommended fluids,
lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids and
lubricants Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not in line with these
specifications will not be covered by
the warranty.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
ageing control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality
that provides optimum protection for gasoline and diesel engines. If it is
unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used.
Recommendations for petrol engines
are also valid for Ethanol (E85)
fuelled engines.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 202.
Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different manufacturers
and brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only
ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause long-
term engine damage under certain
operating conditions.

Service and maintenance199
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 202.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 202.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze. Consult a
workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant
provides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C. This concentration
should be maintained all year round.
The use of additional coolant
additives that intend to give additional
corrosion protection or seal against
minor leaks can cause function
problems. Liability for consequences
resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake and clutch fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified
interval.
