Further information about the turn signal system page 59.Fog lights*
The warning light
comes on when the fog lights are operating page 56.
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 59.
Low beam
The warning light
comes on when low beam is selected page 53.
Rear fog light
The warning light
comes on when the rear fog lights are operating page 57.
Cruise control system*
The warning light
lights up, when operating the speed regulating system.
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.

driving during the day into a tunnel, the lo w beam and the side lights as well as the
licence plate light come on automatically. If the light intensity increases again, the
lights switch off automatically.
