~ 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 246.

The driver information system in the instrument panel shows
the status of various on-board systems at a glance.The display for the driver information system is in the centre of the instrument
panel.
The system runs a check on certain components and functions when the igni-
tion is switched on and while the vehicle is moving. The DIS system gives an
audible warning if a fault should occur or if servicing is required, and a red or
yellow warning symbol (in some cases with a corresponding driver message)
appears in the instrument panel display.
The driver is informed on the audio system.
The driver information system includes the following functions:
Note
•If a fault should occur, the display will show a red or yellow warning
symbol. A red warning symbol indicates a serious malfunction ⇒ page 77. A
yellow warning symbol indicates a less serious malfunction ⇒ page 79.

72CD, radio and telephone* displayIf the radio is switched on and no Priority 2 faults are indicated by the auto-
check control, depending on the type of radio fitted, the display will show the
name or frequency of the selected radio station and complementary informa-
tion, once the “OK” symbol has gone out.
When in CD mode*, the display will show the current track.
If you have a compatible telephone*, the phone book or telephone dialled
can also be seen on this display.
These displays appear in addition to the display on the radio itself.
Outside temperature displayThe outside temperature is shown in the display when the ignition is switched
on ⇒fig. 49. In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the display does not
appear until the driver has engaged a gear.
At temperatures below +5 °C a snowflake symbol appears next to the temper-
ature display. This is to warn the driver to take extra care when there is a risk
of ice on the road. When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low
speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual
ambient temperature as a result of heat coming from the engine.
If the vehicle has an air conditioner and the display is changed over to °F
(degrees Fahrenheit), the outside temperature display automatically changes
over to °F ⇒page 167.
WARNING
Do not rely on the outside temperature display as an ice warning. Please
bear in mind that there may be ice on the roads even at outside tempera-
tures of +5 °C – beware of ice patches.

•The display may not recommend any gear-change while you are acceler-
ating.•If desired, you can have the gear-change display deactivated by an
Authorised Service Centre.Distance to empty
The distance to empty display can help you to plan your trip.The estimated distance to empty is displayed in km. It shows how far the
vehicle can be driven with the amount of fuel left in the tank, assuming the
same style of driving. The distance to empty is displayed in increments of 10
km.
The distance to empty is calculated on the basis of the fuel consumption over
the last 30 kilometres. The distance to empty will increase if you drive in a
more economical manner.

74Door and tailgate warningThe door and tailgate warning symbol lights up if one or more of the doors, or
the bonnet or tailgate are not properly closed when the ignition is on. The
symbol also indicates which of these is not properly closed. The display in the
illustration ⇒fig. 51 shows that the driver door is open.
The corresponding part of the pictogram will flash if either the bonnet or tail-
gate are open. The warning symbol goes out when the bonnet, tailgate and
all the doors are closed.

This display reminds the driver when the next routine service
is due.Displaying distance to next service
When you press the service button briefly with the ignition switched on,
the display will show how far the vehicle can be driven before the next service
is due. This check can be carried out with the engine stopped or running up
to 5 km/h. Before the first 500 km and after the ignition cycle, the kilometres
and days before the service inspection are not displayed.
If the service button is pressed before the first 500 km the following indi-
cation appears on screen:
Service in ----- km --- days
This is also valid for vehicles with “LongLife Service Intervals”*.

Service reminder
The instrument panel controls the distance travelled every day. It calculates
the average of these distances travelled and activates the service reminder
sufficiently in advance.
The display reverts back to the standard display after about 5 seconds. The
remaining distance to the next service is updated every time the ignition is
switched on, until the service becomes due.
Service due
When a service is due,
SERVICE! will appear in the display immediately after
you switch on the ignition. The display reverts back to the standard display
after about 5 seconds.
Resetting the display
The display is reset by the workshop after the service has been carried out.
The service interval will be set to a LongLife Service (flexible service interval)
or Inspection Service (fixed service interval), depending on which engine oil
is used. It is only possible to reset the display via the instrument panel when
a n o i l cha n ge i s p e r f o r m e d ; i n t h is cas e t h e d is p l a y ca n o n l y b e r e s e t t o a f i xe d
service interval of 15,000 km. Proceed as follows:
•Switch the ignition off.•Press the service button ⇒page 74, fig. 52 and hold while switching
on the ignition. The display will show one of these messages:
Service in ----- km or Service!•Now press and hold the reset button until the display shows
Service in ----- km --- days or Service!
The display switches out of the reset mode if you do not press the reset button
within 5 seconds.Caution
The system cannot calculate the figures for the service interval display if the
battery is disconnected from the vehicle, so no service reminder can be displayed during this time. Please remember that it is essential to service the
vehicle within the established time limits to prevent its deterioration and to
extend its useful life (particularly that of the engine). The period between two
services must never be longer than the time specified in the Maintenance
Programme, even if you only cover a low mileage during this time.
Note
•Do not reset the service indicator between services, otherwise the display
will be incorrect.•The information in the service indicator remains intact if the battery is
disconnected.•The distance to the next service cannot be called up if the system has
detected a Priority 1 fault (red symbol).Auto-check systemIntroductionThe auto-check system checks important components and vehicle systems.
These background checks are run constantly, as long as the ignition is
switched on.
A message is displayed on the instrument panel if a fault should occur or if
any maintenance or repairs are urgently required. This is accompanied by an
audible warning signal. Depending on the priority of the fault, a red or yellow
warning symbol lights up on the display.
The red symbol indicates danger, whereas the yellow one represents a
warning . Additional messages for the driver may be shown with the red or
yellow symbols.
