ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
without AFS
A
with AFS
B
The AFS adjusts the headlamp dipped
beam depending on vehicle direction and
speed. It improves visibility when you are
driving at night and helps to reduce
headlamp glare for oncoming drivers.
The headlamps will also move when the
vehicle is stationary and the steering
wheel is turned. To prevent headlamp
glare for the oncoming traffic, they will only
move towards the passenger side of the
vehicle.
The system will not operate when you
have switched on the daytime running
lamps or when you have selected reverse
gear. To activate the AFS when the daytime
running lamps are activated, turn the
lighting control to position
C. See
Lighting control (page 46).
A message will appear in the information
display and the headlamp indicator flashes
if the system malfunctions. See
Information messages (page 73).
The headlamps will move to a fixed central
or dipped position. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

Engine warning lamp
If it illuminates with the engine
running, this indicates a
malfunction. If it flashes when
you are driving, reduce the speed of
your vehicle immediately. If it
continues to flash, avoid heavy
acceleration or deceleration. Have the

technician immediately. CAUTION
If the engine warning lamp illuminates
in conjunction with a message, have
the system checked as soon as
possible. Front fog lamp indicator
It will illuminate when you switch
the front fog lamps on.
Frost warning lamp WARNING
Even if the temperature rises to
above +4ºC there is no guarantee
that the road is free of hazards
caused by inclement weather. It will illuminate and glow orange
when the outside air
temperature is between 4ºC
(39ºF) and 1ºC (34ºF). It will glow red when
the temperature is below 1ºC (34ºF).
Glow plug indicator See (page 101). Headlamp indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the headlamp dipped beam or
the side and tail lamps on.
Ignition warning lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Switch off all
unnecessary electrical equipment. Have
the system checked by a properly trained
technician immediately.
Low fuel level warning lamp If it illuminates, refuel as soon as
possible.
Main beam indicator It will illuminate when you switch
the headlamp main beam on. It
will flash when you use the
headlamp flasher.
Message indicator It will illuminate when a new
message is stored in the
information display. See
Information messages (page 73).
Oil pressure warning lamp CAUTION
Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being
correct. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician
immediately. 65

Vehicles with stability control
(ESP)
Vehicles with stability control (ESP) may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics which can be avoided by
switching the system off. See
Using
stability control (page 113).
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to regularly check
the tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a low
tyre pressure warning. It will not
inflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantly
under-inflated tyres. This may cause
the tyres to overheat and fail.
Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency,
tyre tread life and may also affect your
ability to drive the vehicle safely. CAUTIONS
Do not bend or damage the valves
when you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by properly
trained technicians.
The Deflation Detection System will alert
you if there is a change of air pressure in
any tyre. It does this by using the ABS
sensors to detect the rolling
circumference of the wheels. When the
circumference changes, this indicates low
pressure in a tyre, a warning message is
displayed in the information display and
the message indicator will illuminate. See
Information messages
(page 73).Apart from a too low tyre pressure or a
damaged tyre, the following situations can
affect the rolling circumference:
•
Vehicle load is uneven.
• When using a trailer or travelling up
and down an incline.
• Using snow chains.
• Driving on soft surfaces such as snow
or mud.
Note:The system will still function
correctly, but there may be an increased detection time.
If a low pressure warning message is
displayed in the information display, check
the tyre pressures as soon as possible
and inflate them to the recommended
pressure. See Technical
specifications (page 168).
If this happens frequently, have the cause
determined and rectified as soon as
possible.
System reset
Note:
Do not reset the system when the
vehicle is moving.
Note:You should reset the system
following any adjustment to the tyre pressures or any changing of tyres.
Note:Turn the ignition on.
