5-11Instruments and controls
If it stays lit or illuminates during
driving, there is a fault with ESP®.
The vehicle’s brake system remains
operational without ESP
® regulation.
Seek the assistance of a workshop to
have the cause of the fault remedied.
Further information 3 9-10.
W Engine coolant
temperature
Will illuminate briefly in red when
ignition is switched on.
If it illuminates or flashes when the
engine is running: stop vehicle and
switch off engine. Coolant
temperature is too high; danger of
engine damage. Check coolant level.
Further information 3 10-4.
N Preheating for diesel
engines 3
Will illuminate during engine
preheating.
Preheating system switches on only if
outside temperature is low.
If it illuminates during driving or if the
engine cannot be started, seek the
assistance of a workshop as soon as
possible.
Starting the engine 3 9-2.
Z Exhaust emissions
Will illuminate in yellow when ignition
is switched on. Extinguishes after
engine is started.
If it illuminates when the engine is
running: fault in emission control
system. The permitted emission
limits may be exceeded. Fuel
economy and vehicle driveability may
be impaired. Seek the assistance of a
workshop immediately.Diesel engines: The engine stops and
control indicator Z illuminates if the
fuel level is too low. If the tank has
been run dry, bleed the fuel system 3
10-7.
Vehicles with electric throttle body
system 3: If the battery has been
disconnected, the system must be
recalibrated upon reconnection of the
battery. Hold ignition key in ON
position for 5 seconds without
running the engine. Control indicator
Z remains illuminated after the
engine is started if the procedure is
not successful.
I Engine oil pressure
Will illuminate in red when ignition is
switched on. Extinguishes after
engine is started.
If it illuminates during driving; engine
oil pressure may be dangerously low,
interrupting engine lubrication and
resulting in damage to the engine
and/or locking of the drive wheels:
„Move out of the flow of traffic as
quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles,
9 Warning
Allow engine to cool down before
removing coolant filler cap.

10-15Vehicle care
Some circuits may be protected by
several fuses.
Wheels
Tyres
Factory-fitted tyres are matched to
the chassis and offer optimum driving
comfort and safety.
Winter tyres 3
Tyres of size 165/70 R 14 and
185/60 R 15 may be used as winter
tyres.
Winter tyres improve safety at
temperatures below 7
°C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
Depending on national regulations, a
notice indicating the maximum
permissible speed for the tyres must
be affixed within the driver's field of
vision.
The maximum permissible speed
varies from country to country on
account of national regulations.
Ensure that winter tyres are inflated
to the correct pressure specified by
the tyre manufacturer. No. Circuit

Tyre designations
Meanings:
e.g. 185/60 R 15 84 T
Speed code letters:
Tyre pressure
Tyre pressures 3 12-8.
Also may be shown on a label located
on the driver’s door pillar.After having checked the tyre
pressures, securely tighten the valve
caps.
The specified tyre pressures are valid
for cold tyres. The increased tyre
pressure resulting from extensive
driving must not be reduced. The tyre
pressures specified apply to both
summer and winter tyres.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear. 185= Tyre width in mm
60= Aspect ratio
(tyre height to tyre width
in %)
R= Belt type: Radial
15= Rim diameter in inches
84= Load index
e.g.: 84 represents 500 kg
T= Speed code
Q= Up to 160 km/h (100 mph)
S= Up to 180 km/h (112 mph)
T= Up to 190 km/h (118 mph)
