Engine management*  This warning lamp monitors the engine man-
agement system for petrol engines.
The warning lamp  (Electronic Power Con-
trol) lights up when the ignition is switched
on while system operation is being verified. It
should go out once the engine is started.
If there is a fault in the electronic engine
management system while you are driving,
this warning lamp will light up. Stop the vehi-
cle and seek technical assistance.
Glow plug system/Engine fault*  The warning lamp lights up to show that the
glow plugs are preheating the diesel engine.
The control lamp
 lights up
If the control lamp  lights up when the en-
gine is started it means that the glow plugs
are preheating. When the warning lamp goes
off, the engine should be started straight
away.

Dash panel
Control lamp  flashes
If a f
ault develops in the engine management
system while you are driving, the glow plug
system lamp will flash 
. Take the vehicle to
a specialised workshop as soon as possible
and have the engine checked.
Soot accumulation in the diesel
engine particulate filter*  If the control lamp
 lights up you should
help the filter clean itself by driving in the ap-
propriate manner.
To do this, drive about 15 minutes in fourth
or fifth gear (automatic gearbox: S gear
range) at a minimum speed of 60 km/h
(37 mph), with the engine running at approxi-
mately 2,000 rpm. In this way, the soot build
up in the filter is burned. When cleaning is
successful, the control lamp turns off.
If the lamp  does not turn off, or the three
lamps turn on (particulate filter , fault in
the emission control system  and glow
plugs ), drive the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired at the
earliest opportunity. WARNING
● Always drive according to the road weather
conditions, the terrain and traffic. Driving rec- ommendations should never lead to illegal
manoeuvres in surrounding traffic.
●
The diesel engine particulate filter may
reach extremely high temperatures; in this
case the vehicle should be parked so that it
does not enter into contact with highly flam-
mable materials underneath the vehicle. Oth-
erwise there is a risk of fire. Engine oil pressure
 If this warning lamp
 is red it indicates
that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is
accompanied by three audible warnings,
switch off the engine and check the oil level.
If necessary, add more oil ››› page 170.
If the warning lamp flashes although the oil
level is correct, stop driving. Do not even run
the en gine at

idle speed! Obtain technical as-
sistance.
Checking the oil level 
If the warning lamp is yellow  the engine
oil level should be checked as soon as possi-
ble. Top up the oil ››› page 170 at the next
opportunity.
Oil level sensor faulty* 
If the  yellow warning lamp flashes, take
the vehicle to a specialised workshop to have the oil level sensor checked. Until then it is
advisable to check the oil level every time
you refuel.
Bulb defect*  The 
warning lamp lights up when there is
a f

ault on the turn signals, headlights, side
lights and fog lights.
Washer fluid*  This warning lamp lights up to indicate that
the windscreen washer level is very low.
This serves as a reminder to fill up the reser-
voir at the earliest opportunity

Operation
Tyre pressure adjustment
On adjusting tyre pressure or changing one
or more wheels, the ››› Fig. 71 button must be
k ept
pressed down, with the ignition on, until
an acoustic signal is heard.
If the wheels are under excessive load (for ex-
ample, driving with a trailer or heavy load),
the tyre pressure must be increased to the
recommended value for a full load (see the
sticker on the inside of the fuel flap). If the
tyre monitor system button is pressed down,
the new tyre pressures are confirmed.
The tyre pressure control lamp  lights up
If the tyre pressure of a wheel is much lower
than the value set by the driver, then the tyre
pressure control lamp ››› will light up.
WARNING
● When the tyre pressure control lamp lights
up, reduce speed immediately and avoid any
sudden turning or braking manoeuvre. Stop
when possible, and check the tyre pressure
and status.
● The driver is responsible for maintaining
correct tyre pressures. For this reason, tyre
pressure must be regularly checked.
● Under certain circumstances (e.g. when
driving in a sporty manner, in winter condi-
tions or on a dirt track) the tyre control lamp
may light up belatedly or may function incor-
rectly. Note
If the battery is disconnected, the yellow
warning lamp  lights up after turning the
ignition on.
This should turn off after a brief
journey. Speed selector lever lock* 
The brake pedal must be depressed when
this warning lamp lights up. This is necessary

Electro-hydraulic steering*  The level of steering assistance depends on
the vehicle speed and on the steering wheel
turning speed.
The warning lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on. It
should go out once the engine is started.
There is a fault in the electro-hydraulic steer-
ing system if the lamp does not go out or
lights up whilst the vehicle is in motion. Take
the vehicle to technical services as soon as
possible.

be added to the existing trip recorder memo-
ry. The memory will automatically be deleted
if the journey is interrupted for more than 2
hours.
The total memory 2
c
o
llects the trip data for
any number of individual journeys (even if
the ignition is switched off for longer than
two hours) up to a total of 19 hours and 59

 Km (miles) - Fuel range The fuel range is calculated using the figures
for tank content and current fuel consump-
tion. This shows how far the vehicle can trav-
el using the same conditions as a reference.
Ø l/100 km - Average fuel consumptionAfter turning on the ignition, average fuel
consumption will be shown after travelling
approximately 100 metres. Until then dashes
will appear in the display. The display will be
updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is
in motion. The amount of fuel used will not
be shown.
l/100 km o l/h - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel con-
sumption in ltr/km whilst the vehicle is in
motion or in ltr/hour when the vehicle is at a
standstill with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driv-
ing style affects fuel consumption

Outside temperature display
The measurement margin ranges from -45 °C
(-49 °F) to +58 °C (+136 °F). At temperatures
lower than +4°C (+39 °F), an “ice crystal sym-
bol” is displayed and a “warning” is sounded
if the vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h
(6 mph) (ice warning). This symbol will flash
for about 10 seconds and remains lit until
the outside temperature rises above +4°C
(+39°F), or if you are driving, the temperature
does not rise above +6°C (+43°F) if it was al-
ready lit.
The lighting of the ice crystal symbol is in-
tended to warn the driver of the risk of ice,
so that he/she proceeds with due care. WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface
even if the “snowflake symbol” is not shown.
For this reason you should not rely exclusive-
ly on this display - Risk of accident! Note
When the vehicle is at a standstill or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature as a result of the heat
produced by the engine. Selector lever position display*
