68Entire brake system fault
If the ABS warning lamp
J lights up together with the brake warning lamp
H ⇒ page 70 (with the handbrake released), this indicates not only a fault
in the ABS function, but probably also a malfunction in the main brake system
⇒ .
The symbol
H will light up in the instrument panel if a fault occurs in the
brake system . Please refer to ⇒page 77.
Electronic differential lock (EDL) fault
The EDL works in conjunction with the ABS. The ABS indicator lamp will light
up
J to indicate an EDL fault. Please take the vehicle to a qualified workshop
as soon as possible. For further information on the EDL, see ⇒page 187.WARNING
•Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level, observe
the warning information in ⇒page 224, “Work in the engine compart-
ment”.•If the brake warning lamp
H should light up together with the ABS
warning lamp
J, stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir. If the fluid level has dropped below the "MIN" mark
you must not drive on, as there is a risk of accident. Obtain technical assist-
ance.
•If the brake fluid level is correct, the fault in the brake system may have
been caused by a fault in the ABS control function. As a result, the rear
wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. Under certain circum-
stances, the rear of the vehicle could suddenly sway from side to side, with
the subsequent danger of skidding. Drive carefully to the nearest special-
ised workshop and have the fault repaired.
Seat belt warning lamp*
h
The warning lamp acts as a reminder to the driver to fasten
the seat belt.After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp
 will remain lit until the
driver and front passenger (if applicable) have fastened their seat belts.
When the vehicle has reached a certain speed, you will also hear a warning
signal and the warning light will flash.
For further information on the seat belts, see ⇒page 22.
Turn signals and hazard warning lights

Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left
 or right

turn
signal lamp flashes. Both turn signal lamps will flash when the hazard
warning lights are switched on.
If a turn signal fails, the indicator lamp will start flashing twice as fast as
normal.
This does not apply when towing a trailer. Where a turn signal bulb does not
work, either on the trailer or on the towing vehicle, the turn signal bulb will
not flash. For further information on the turn signals, see ⇒page 122.

the indicator lamp goes out the engine should be started straight away. When
the engine is warm, or at outside temperatures above +8°C, the warning lamp
will only light up very briefly.
Note
•If the glow plug indicator lamp should start flashing while the vehicle is
moving, this indicates a fault in the engine management system. The engine
should be serviced without delay.•If the indicator lamp fails to light up when the ignition is switched on, this
can mean that the glow plug system is defective. The engine should be
serviced.Brake system
H
The warning lamp flashes when the handbrake is applied, or
if the brake fluid level is too low or if there is a fault in the ABS
system.If the warning lamp
H flashes (and the handbrake is not applied), stop the
vehicle and check the brake fluid level ⇒ ⇒ page 233.
If a failure should occur in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp
J will light up
together with the brake warning lamp
H ⇒ . Handbrake on
The warning lamp
H also lights up when the handbrake is applied. In addi-
tion to this, the handbrake warning ⇒ page 76 switches on after driving for 3
seconds at a speed above 5 km/h.
WARNING
•Before opening the bonnet and checking the brake fluid level, observe
the warning information in ⇒page 224, “Work in the engine compart-
ment”.•If the brake warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up when
driving, the brake fluid level in the reservoir is too low and this may cause
an increased accident risk. Stop the vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain
technical assistance.•If the brake warning lamp lights up together with the ABS warning
lamp, this can mean that there is a fault in the ABS control function. As a
result, the rear wheels can lock relatively easily when braking. Under
certain circumstances, the rear of the vehicle could suddenly sway from
side to side, with the subsequent dang er of skidding. Drive carefully to the
nearest specialised workshop and have the fault repaired.

If the coolant level is correct, the overheating may be caused by a malfunction
of the radiator fan. If the alternator warning lamp lights up as well
⇒page 69, it is possible that
the drive belt has broken.

v has come on to indicate a fault in the cooling
system, otherwise there is a risk of engine damage.
Engine oil pressure too low
E
If the engine oil pressure is too low the fault must be repaired
