Bulb failure

The warning light
 comes on if a bulb is faulty:

up to 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on;

when switching on the defective light bulb.
The following text e.g will be disp layed in the information display*:
Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate li ghting require several light bulbs. The indi-
cator light
 only lights up if all light bulbs of the licence plate lighting or the parking light (in one rear light unit) are defective.
Check regularly the function of the light
bulbs.
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 information 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.
WARNING

If you do not pay attention to the warning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or major
vehicle damage.

Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warnin g light must not tempt you to disregard
the national regulations for road traffic.Caution
As long as the warning light

li ghts up, o ne must take into account an incre as ed f uel
consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the engine.

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 being activated in the event of
an accident.
Control system for exhaust

The warning light
 comes on after the ignition has been switched on.
If the warning light does not go out after starting the engine or it lights up when driving,
a fault exists in an exhaust relevant co mponent. The engine management system
selects an emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist
garage by adopting a ge ntle style of driving.
Electromechanical power steering
 
The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up continu-
ously, a fault exists in the electromechanical power steering.

If the warning light
 lights up, this indicates a partial failure of the power steering
and the steering assist can be less.

If the warning light
 lights up, this indicates a complete failure of the power
steering and thus the steering assist.
Further information page 168.
WARNING
Contact your specialist garage if the power steering is defective.
Note

If the yellow warning light
 goes out after starting the engine again and a short
drive, it is not necessary to visit a specialist garage.
