ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
In normal operation the LEDs will settle some
where in the centre of the dis play once the en
gine has reached operating temperature. The
LEDs may also extend further into the right-hand
range of the display when the engine is working

at high outside temperatures. This is no
cause for concern provided the warning lamp.

the red LEDs reach the right-hand part of the dis
play and the warning lamp.
appears in the dis
play, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 12.
CD CAUTION
- Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assistance.
� Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.

and warning/indicator lamps
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.
Warning and indicator
lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn
ing/indicator lamps and messages c:::> page 18.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.
Overview
When you switch on the ignition, some of the
warning and indicator lamps light up briefly to

brake fluid level, observe the warning infor
mation on ¢ page 220, Working on compo
nents in the engine compartment.

run with vehicle stationary
Let the engine cool down by running it at idling
speed for a few minutes.
A WARNING
