lead to injury, scalding, burns and fires. Therefore the corresponding
warnings must always be observed ⇒ page 173, Engine compartment.
Handbrake
If the

driving the vehicle at speeds exceeding 6 km/h (4 mph) for at least 3 sec-
onds produces an audible warning.

If the vehicle has to be stopped for technical reasons, park it a safe dis-
tance away from moving traffic, switch off the engine and turn on the
hazard warning lights ⇒ page 98.
Coolant level and temperature
If the warning lamp (blue) is lit up, the engine has not yet reached its op-
erating temperature 1)
. Avoid high engine speeds, hard acceleration and
submitting the engine to high loads.
If the warning lamp (red) is lit up or flashing, the coolant temperature is
too high or its level is too low.
The informative display indicates:
Check coolant! Instruction Manual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, check the coolant level ⇒ page 179
and refill if necessary ⇒ page 180.
If the coolant is situated in the prescribed area, the high temperature may
be due to a fault in the cooling system fan. Check the radiator fan fuse and
replace it if necessary ⇒ page 214, Changing fuses in the engine compart-
ment.
If the warning lamp (red) remains lit up, despite both the coolant level
and the radiator fan fuse being in correct condition, stop the vehicle!
Seek professional help.

Controls and displays
If the warning lamp starts to flash while driving, there is a fault in the
engine power control electronic system. The engine control unit allows driv-
ing to continue in an emergency program.
Seek professional help.
Engine management (diesel engines)
If the warning lamp is lit up, there is a fault in the engine management
system. The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency
program.
Seek professional help.
Particulate filter (diesel engines)
The particulate filter eliminates soot from emissions. The particles accumu-
late in the filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp is lit up, the filter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traffic conditions ⇒
so permit) it
is essential to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the warning lamp
switches off) with 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S)
at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) with the engine speed between
1800-2500 1/min.
The warning lamp switches off once the filter has been successfully
cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the warning lamp does not
switch off and the warning lamp starts to flash.
The informative display indicates: Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to continue in an emergency program.
When switching the ignition off and on again, the warning lamp also
lights up.
Seek professional help.
WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high temperatures. Therefore, do
not park the vehicle in places where the exhaust pipe could come into
contact with dry grass or with highly-flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● Always adjust your speed to suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic
conditions. Never be encouraged, by the recommendations shown in the
warning lamps, to fail to respect traffic legislation.
CAUTION
While the warning lamp is lit up, the fuel consumption is high, and in
certain conditions, the engine power is reduced.
Note
● In order for the particulate filter to burn off soot in a correct manner,
avoid carrying out frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count can considerably reduce the
useful life of the particulate filter. The specialised service provides informa-
tion about the countries where fuel with a high sulphur content is used.
Fuel reserve
The warning lamp lights up when approximately only 7 litres of fuel re-
main in the tank.
