number and duration of which are
stipulated by legislation.
The alarm can be silenced by
pressing a button of the radio remote
control or by switching on the ignition.

started.
The electronic immobiliser activates
itself automatically after the key has
been removed from the ignition
switch or when the engine is switched
off by pressing the Start/Stop button.
If the control indicator A flashes

in the system; the engine cannot be
started. Switch off the ignition and
then repeat the start attempt.
If the control indicator continues
flashing, attempt to start the engine
using the spare key and seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If control indicator illuminates after
the engine has started, there is a fault
in the engine electronics or
transmission electronics 3 88,
3 135, 3 139, or there is water in the
diesel fuel filter 3 101. Note
The immobiliser does not lock the

not connect any current-delivering
accessories, e.g. electrical charging
devices or batteries.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in DIN VDE

Instruments and controls
85
If the natural gas tanks are not
refuelled, the system must be
manually switched to petrol operation
before the engine is started up again.
This will prevent damage to the
catalytic converter (overheating
caused by irregular fuel supply).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time
a switchover block is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The block remains
active until the ignition is switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected in petrol operation. You
must therefore adapt your driving
style (e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres) and vehicle loads (e.g.
towing loads) accordingly.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates and refuel. This is
necessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank. Service display
The message InSP appears when it
is time for servicing. Further
information

Control indicators
The control indicators described are
not present in all vehicles. The
description applies to all instrument
versions. When the ignition is
switched on, most control indicators
will

illuminate briefly as a functionality
test. The control indicator colours mean:
Red = Danger, important
reminder,
Yellow = Warning, information, fault,
Green = Confirmation of activation,
Blue = Confirmation of activation.
