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 inju- ries or major vehicle damage.
The engine compartment of your car is
a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire wh
en working in the engine compartment,
e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and
other fluids. It is also essential to
observe all warnings
page 166, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Note
Arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model and model version.
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 -
danger) or yellow symbol
s (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.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 52.
Main beam
The indicator light
comes on when the main beam is selected or also when the
headlight flasher is operated. Further information about the main beam
page 52.
Low beam
The warning light
comes on when low beam is selected

WARNING
Pay attention to the following instruct
ions before checking the brake fluid
level and opening the bonnet
page 166, “Working in the engine compart-
ment”.
If the brake system warning light
does not go out a few seconds after
switching on the ignition or comes on when driving, stop immediately and check the brake fluid in the reservoir
page 171, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level
has dropped below the MIN marking, do no
t drive any further - risk of accident!
Obtain professional assistance.Cruise control system*
The warning light
lights up, when operating the speed regulating system.
Airbag system
Monitoring the airbag system The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
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 following situation applies if the fr
ont, side and head airbags or belt
tensioner have been switched off
using the vehicle system tester:
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 following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Airbag/belt tensioner deactivated!
If the passenger front airbag has 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 4 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 yellow indicator light in display
page 129.
WARNING
Have the airbag system checked immediat
ely by a specialist
garage if a fault
exists. Otherwise, there is a
risk of the airbag not bein
g activated in the event of
an accident.
Note
Further information about switching off airbags
page 128, “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 at least 15 minutes or until
the warning light goes out with the 4th or
5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: posi-
tion S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. 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 in
formation display* appears
Diesel-particle
filter! Owner's manual
. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the
emergency mode, which only has a reduced po
wer output. After switching the ignition
off and on again the warning light
comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without
delay by your specialist garage.

94your vehicle. It is possible that the audi
ble warning does not function correctly (an
obstacle behind the vehicle ma
y not be detected - take extra care). Have the fault recti-
fied by a specialist workshop.
If the audible warning sounds for 3 seconds after switching the ignition on and
engaging the reverse gear, a fault has occured in the system. It is possible that the audible warning does not function correctl
y (an obstacle behind the vehicle may not
be detected - take extra care). Have the
fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate
properly.
If the parking aid is activated and the sele
ctor lever of the automatic gearbox is in
the position , warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer move).Cruise control system (CCS)*IntroductionThe cruise control system (CCS) maintains
a constant speed, more than 30 km/h (20
mph), once it has been set, without you havi
ng to depress the accelerator pedal. This
is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and braking power of the engine. The cruise control system
makes it possible - particularly on long
journeys - for you to rest your “accelerator foot”.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces
(such as icy roads, slippery roads, loose
gravel) - risk of accident!
In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always
switch off the system after use.
Note
Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always
depress the clutch pedal if you switch
on the cruise control system when the gearbo
x is in Neutral! Otherwise the engine can
rev up unintentionally.
The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving on
steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which it travels. One should shift down in good time
to a lower gear or slow the vehicle down
by applying the foot brake.
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with
an automatic gearbox to switch on the
cruise control system if the sele
ctor lever is in the position
P, N or R.
Storing a speedThe cruise control system is operated by means of the switch and the rocker button in the left lever of the multi-functional switch. – Press the switch
fig. 98
into the position
ON
.
– After the desired speed has been reached, press the rocker button into the
SET-
position - the current speed is stored.
After you have released the rocker button out of the position
SET-
, the speed you
have just stored is maintained at a consta
nt speed without having to depress the accel-
erator. You can
increase
the speed by depressing the acce
lerator. Releasing the accelerator
will cause the speed to
drop
again to the set speed.
This does not apply, however, if you drive at
a speed which is more than 10 km/h higher
than the set speed for a period of longer
than 5 minutes. The stored speed will be
cancelled in the memory. You then have to re-store the desired speed. One can
reduce
the speed in the usual manner. The system is switched off temporarily
by actuating the brake or clutch pedal

the vehicle to reduce continuously. On
ce the vehicle has reached the desired
speed, release the rocker button. The set speed is then stored in the memory.
– If you release the rocker button when the vehicle is travelling at a speed of less than
30 km/h, the speed is not stored, the memory is erased. It is then necessary to again store the speed with the rocker button in the position
SET-
after an increase in
speed of the vehicle to more than 30 km/hour.
Switching off the cruise control system temporarily–You can
switch off
the cruise control system
temporarily
by depressing the brake
pedal or clutch pedal, on vehicles fitted
with an automatic gearbox only with the
brake pedal.
– You can switch off temporarily the cruise control system, if you press the switch
in the middle position.

“START-STOP”*The “START-STOP” system helps you to save
fuel while at the same time reducing
exhaust pollutants and CO
2 emissions.
The system is automatically activated ea
ch time the ignition
is switched on.
The system switches the engine off automa
tically when the vehicle comes to a stand-
still, such as while wa
iting at a traffic light.
