Engine oil pressure
This warning lamp indicates that the engine oil pressure is
too low.If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is accompanied by three audible
warnings , switch off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is too
low, top up with oil.
If the symbol flashes although the oil level is correct, do not drive on. The
engine must not even run at idle speed. Obtain technical assistance.Bulb defect*
The indicator lights up when a bulb is not functioning.The warning lamp
lights up when there is a fault in the indicator lights,
headlights, position light or fog lights.
Rear fog light*
This warning lamp lights up when the rear fog light is switched on
. Further
information ⇒page 89.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
A warning lamp system monitors the ABS.
The warning lamp
should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out again after th e system has run through an automatic
test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
The warning lamp
does not light up when the ignition is switched on.
•
The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds.
•
The warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the ABS control
function will not function). Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as
soon as possible. For further information on the ABS see the ⇒page 150.
If there is a fault in the ABS, the ESP* and the tyre pressure warning lamp will
also light up.
Brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
lights up together with the brake warning lamp
, this indicates not only a fault in the ABS function, but also a possible fault
in the brake system ⇒.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings on
⇒ page 181, “Working in the engine compartment”.
•
If the brake warning lamp
should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir ⇒page 193, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level has
dropped below the “MIN” mark you must not drive on. Risk of accident.

WARNING
•
Always close the tailgate properly. Risk of accident or injury.
•
The tailgate must not be opened when the reverse or rear fog lights are
lit. This may damage the pilot lights
•
Do not close the tailgate by pushing it down with your hand on the rear
window. The glass could smash. Risk of injury!
•
Ensure the tailgate is locked after closing it. If not, it may open unex-
pectedly while driving.
•
Never allow children to play in or ar ound the vehicle. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on
the time of year, thus causing serious injuries/illness. It could even have
fatal consequences. Close and lock both the tailgate and all the other doors
when you are not using the vehicle.
•
Closing the tailgate without observing and ensuring it is clear could
cause serious injury to you and to third parties. Make sure that no one is in
the path of the tailgate.
•
Never drive with the tailgate open or half-closed, exhaust gases may
penetrate into the interior of th e vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
•
If you only open the tailgate, do not leave the key inside. The vehicle
will not be opened if the key is left inside.
Emergency opening
This allows the vehicle to be opened if the central locking
does not operate (for example, if the battery is flat)There is a groove in the boot allowing access to the emergency
opening mechanism.
Opening the tailgate from inside the luggage compartment
– Insert the key bit in the groove and unlock the locking system, turning the key from right to left, as shown by the arrow
⇒fig. 47 .

Lights and visibility
90•
If the lights are left on after the key has been taken out of the ignition lock,
a buzzer will sound while the driver door remains open. This is a reminder to
switch the lights off.
•
The rear fog light is so bright that it can dazzle drivers behind you. You
should use the rear fog light only when visibility is very poor.
•
The use of the lighting described here is subject to the relevant statutory
requirements.
Instrument and switch lighting / Headlight range controlInstrument and switch lighting
When the headlights are switched on, the brightness of the instruments and
switch lighting can be regulated to suit your requirements by turning the
thumb wheel ⇒fig. 52 .
Those vehicles fitted with xenon gas discharge headlights are fitted with an
automatic headlight range system. Headlight range control
By using the electrical headlight range control, you can adjust the head-
light range to the load level that is being
carried in the vehicle. This way, it is
possible to avoid dazzling oncoming tra ffic more than necessary. At the same
time, by using the correct headlight settings, the driver has the best possible
lighting for the road ahead.
The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam is switched on.
To lower the beam, turn the thumb wheel down from the basic setting 0.
Dynamic headlight range control
Vehicles with gas discharge lamps (xenon lamps) are equipped with dynamic
headlight range control . When you switch on the li ghts, their range regulates
itself according to the vehicle load.
Vehicles with gas discharge lamps do not have headlight range control.
Daylight driving lights*
Daylight driving lights light up automatically when the igni-
tion is switched on (only with AFS headlamps)Daylight driving lights switch off au tomatically when the street lighting
comes on.
Note
See legal requirements for each country.

Self directional headlights*
When driving around bends, the headlights will light the
most important areas of the road.Cornering light gives better illumination of the side of the road and the corner
area. The dynamic lighting is controlled automatically according to speed and
the steering wheel angle.
The two main headlights move at differen t angles to prevent the area in front
of the vehicle being completely in the dark.
Note
The system operates after a speed of about 10 km/h.
Cornering light*
This is an additional light source to dipped headlights to light
up the road as a bend is taken.The cornering light operates with the lights switched on and when driving at
less than 40 Km/h. It lights up when the steering wheel is turned or the indi-
cators are operated.
Forward gear•
If the steering wheel is turned to the right, or the right-hand indicator
operated, the right-hand headlamp lights up.
•
If the steering wheel is turned to the left, or the left-hand flasher operated,
the left-hand headlamp lights up.
In reverse gear both headlamps light up.Note
When the fog lamps are on, the cornering function is activated and both
headlamps are continuously on.Coming home function*
When it is dark, the area around the car is lit up with the aid
of the coming home / leaving home function.To activate the function
– Remove key from ignition switch.
– Switch the light off.
– Open the driver door.

Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning
118Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioningHeatingControls– Using the controls ⇒fig. 86 and and with the switch
you can adjust the temperature, the air distribution and the
blower speed.
– Press the button to switch air recirculation mode on or off. When the function is activated, a warning light on the button is
turned on.Temperature
Switch adjusts temperature. The required temperature inside the vehicle
cannot be lower than the ambient temp erature. Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available when the engine
has reached its operating temperature.
Blower
The air flow can be set at four speeds with switch . The blower should
always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.
Air distribution
Control for setting the flow of
air in the required direction.
– Air distribution towards the windsc reen in order to demist. For safety
reasons, the air recirculation should not be switched on. – Air distribution to the upper body. – Air distribution to footwell. – Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode
Air recirculation mode on (a lamp ligh ts up in red) prevents strong odours
from the outside air from entering in the vehicle, for example when passing
through a tunnel or in a traffic jam ⇒ .
When the outside temperature is low , air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
WARNING
•
For your safety, the windows should never be fogged up or covered with
snow or ice. This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise
yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.
