Fuel gauge
The gauge @ only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, the LED at the bottom of the dial will
light up in red and the indicator lamp tD will ap
pear c:::>page 16. The LED at the bottom of the
dial will flash in red if the fuel level is very low.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section c:::> page 258.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter.

You need to apply much more force to operate
the brakes if the brake servo fails. Obtain profes
sional assistance.
• Brakes: fault. Safely stop vehicle
If the ABS indicator lamp Ii] and ESC indicator
lamp DJ light up together with the brake warn
ing lamp .
and this driver message appears,
the ABS, ESC and brake force distribution sys
tems have failed ¢ A. •

- If the warning lamp and the message appear
after you switch on the ignition when the ve
hicle is stationary, please check whether you
can release the parking brake. If the parking
brake cannot be released you should obtain
professional assistance. If the parking brake
can be released but the warning lamp/message
still appears, drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the fault rectified.
- If the warning lamp and the message appear
while driving, there may be a malfunction in
the parking brake auto release or the emergen
cy brake functions. You may not be able to ap
ply or release the parking brake. Do not park

tance.
A WARNING
- Before opening the bonnet and checking the
brake fluid level, observe the warning infor
mation on ¢ page 220, Working on compo
nents in the engine compartment.
- If the brake warning lamp does not go out,
or if it lights up when driving, the brake flu
id level in the reservoir is too low -this may
cause an increased accident risk. Stop the
vehicle and do not drive on. Obtain profes
sional assistance.
- If the brake warning lamp lights up togeth
er with the ABS indicator lamp and the ESC
indicator lamp, this can mean that the con
trol function of the ESC/ABS is not working.
Input from the functions that stabilise the
vehicle is no longer available. This could
cause the tail of the vehicle to skid side
ways. Drive carefully to the nearest qualified
works hop and have the fault rectified.

lay and have the fault rectified.
,. Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicles: with diesel engine and diesel particulate
filter
C Particulate filter: fault. See owner's manual
The diesel particulate filter requires regenera
tion. You can assist the self-cleaning function of
the filter by driving as follows:
Drive at a speed of at least 60 km/h for about
15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear, or with the selec
tor lever in position S on vehicles with automatic
"' gearbox. Keep the engine speed at about
� 2000
rpm. As a result of the increase in tempera-
....

ess has been completed successfully.
If the indicator lamp does not go out, drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.
A WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your speed to
suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic con
ditions. The recommended driving speed
must never lead to the driver disregarding the
traffic regulations.
For more information about the diesel partic
ulate filter, refer to¢ page 220.
!?\ Engine speed governing
Applies to vehicles: with engine speed governing
la Max. engine speed XXXX rpm

gine temperature is no longer within the critical
range and you have taken your foot off the accel
erator.
If the rev limiter has been activated because of a
fault in the engine management system, the indi
cator lamp� will also light up. Make sure that
the engine speed does not exceed the speed dis
played in the driver information system, for ex
ample when shifting down a gear. Drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.
