Bulb monitor 
The bulb monitor checks whether the lights on the vehicle
are working.
If a defective bulb is detected, or if one of the lights has failed for any rea-
son, the bulb monitor symbol  will appear in the display together with an
additional message (which goes out after 5 seconds). For instance, if the
rear left turn signal is not working, the display in the instrument panel will
show the following message:
Left rear turn signal
The message disappears after 5 seconds. Press the CHECK button briefly if
you wish to call up the message again.
If the display indicates that one of the lights is not working, this can have a
number of causes:
● Bulb failure ⇒ page 264.
● A blown fuse ⇒ page 262, Changing fuses.
● Faulty electrical wiring.
It is not necessary to have lamps replaced in a specialised workshop, how-
ever the use of Xenon lamps is recommended.
LED lamps
If any of the LED (Light Emitting Diode) functions fail, the complete lamp
should be replaced.
The failure of the lamp is only shown when the LED function goes out com-
pletely. Sometimes, a LED will stop working, without displaying the warning
as the function continues to operate.WARNING
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
● The high voltage element of gas discharge bulbs* (xenon light) must
be handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.

Speed warning*  Introduction
The speed warning function can help prevent you exceeding
a particular pre-set maximum speed.

The speed warning function will warn the driver if a pre-set maximum speed
is exceeded. The system gives a warning buzzer signal if the set speed is 

Fuses
Changing fuses
If a fuse has blown, it must be replaced.

dash panel: Fuse box cov-
er
Fig. 189 Schematic
drawing of fuse box at
the left-hand end of dash
panel: Fuses (without
fuse cover) –
Switch off the ignition and its failed electrical component.
– Remove the fuse cover using a screwdriver ⇒ Fig. 188.
– Identify the fuse corresponding to the damaged electric con-
sumer ⇒ page 263, Fuse assignment.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto the
blown fuse, and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip)
with a new fuse of the same amp rating.
– Fit the fuse cover back on.
The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are loca-
ted behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are provided on the in-
side of the fuse cover. There is also a crank handle for operating the sun-
roof* by hand (if the electrical system fails).
CAUTION
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. It could also cause dam-
age to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system
must be checked by a specialised workshop as soon as possible. 
