The yellow warning
~ lamp remains on if the system is faulty or if
the pressure is too low in at least one tyre. In the event of a system
fault, the letters TPMS are displayed in the centre of the instrument
panel ⇒page 66, fig. 45 . If the tyre pressure drops rapidly,
message ⇒page 66, fig. 46 will be shown on the central display
of the instrument panel. If the pressure loss is more gradual,
message ⇒page 66, fig. 46 will be shown on the central display
of the instrument panel. This message does not show the tyre
affected. Should any of these warnings be displayed:
–Stop the vehicle.
– Check the tyres. Although the warning corresponds to just one tyre, you should also check the others.
– Correct the tyre pressure ⇒page 239.
For more detailed information on the tyre pressure monitoring system, please
refer to ⇒page 238.Cruise control system*

The warning lamp monitors the ABS and the integrated elec-
tronic differential lock (EDL).The warning lamp
J lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on and while the engine is being started. The lamp goes out again
after the 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 brake in the normal way (except that the ABS control func-
tion is out of action). Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop as soon
as possible. For further information on the ABS, see ⇒ page 186.
