WARNING
•
If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body
injuries or major vehicle damage.
•
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk
of injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the engine
compartment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is also
essential to observe all warnings ⇒page 185.Note
•
Arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model and model version.
The symbols shown in the following functional description are to be found as indi-
cator lights in the instrument cluster.
•
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority
1 - danger) or yellow symbols (priority 2 - warning).
Turn signal system

Either the left
 or right
 indicator light flashes depending on the position of the
turn signal lever.
The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a turn signal light fails. This does
not apply when towing a trailer.
Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the
turn signal lights as well as both indicator lights to flash.
Further information about the turn signal system ⇒page 56.
Main beam

The indicator light
 comes on when the main beam is selected or also when the
headlight flasher is operated.

Technical Data There is a fault in the system if the warning light does not go out or comes on or
flashes while driving ⇒. This also applies if the warning light does not come on
after the ignition is switched on.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
AIRBAG FAULT
The functionality of the airbag system is also monitored electronically when one
airbag has been switched off.
The passenger front airbag and also possibly the passenger side airbag which
have been switched off using the diagnostic equipment:
•
The warning light
 lights up for 3 seconds after switching on the ignition and
then flashes for 12 seconds afterwards in 2 second intervals.
The passenger front airbag and also possibly the passenger side airbag which
have been switched off using the switch (for switching off airbags)* in the end
face of the dash panel on the front passenger side:
•
the warning light
 comes on for 3 seconds after the ignition has been
switched on;
•
switching off the airbag is indicated in the middle of the dash panel by the
lighting up of the indicator light
 (airbag switched off) ⇒page 146.
WARNING
Have the airbag system checked immediately by a specialist garage if a fault
exists. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in the event
of an accident.
Note
Further information about switching off airbags ⇒page 145, “Deactivating
airbags”.
Diesel particle filter*

(diesel engine)
If the warning light

comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the
diesel particle filter because of the frequent short distances.
In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even
speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for approx. 15
minutes or until the warning light goes out with the 4th or 5th gear engaged when
the traffic situation permits it.
Always pay attention to the valid speed limits ⇒.
The warning light

goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle
filter.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light

does not go out and the
warning light
 begins to flash. In the information display* is shown ENGINE
FAULT WORKSHOP!. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the
emergency mode, which only has a reduced power output. After switching the igni-
tion off and on again the warning light
 comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without delay by your specialist garage.
WARNING
•
If you do not pay attention to the warning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or
major vehicle damage.
•
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warning light must not tempt you to disre-
gard the national regulations for road traffic.Caution
•
As long as the warning light

lights up, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.
