Top Tether* securing ring. Child seats with the “ISOFIX” or Top Tether*
system can be secured quickly, easily and
safely on the rear outer seats.
When removing or fitting the child seat,
please be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
– Move the rear seat as far to the rear as it
will go.
– Press the child seat onto the “ISOFIX” re-
taining rings until the child seat can be
heard to engage. If the child seat is equip-
ped with Top Tether* anchor points, secure
it to the correspondent ring. Observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
– Pull on both sides of the child seat to en-
sure that it is secure.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on
e ac
h rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings
are secured to the seat frame and, in others,
they are secured to the rear floor. Access to the “ISOFIX” rings is between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning. The Top
Tether* rings are located at the rear of the
backrests of the rear seats (behind the seat
backrest or in the boot).
Child seats with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether*
attachment system are available from Techni-
cal Services.
WARNING
● The retaining rings are designed only for
use with “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system
child seats.
● Never secure other child seats that do not
have the “ISOFIX” or Top Tether* system, or
retaining belts or objects to the fastening
rings - this can result in potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child.
● Ensure that the child seat is secured cor-
rectly using the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* se-
curing rings. 27

38 WARNING
● Failure to observe control lamps and warn-
ing messages can result in serious personal
injuries or damage to your vehicle.
● The engine compartment is a dangerous
area. Carrying out work in the engine com- partment, i.e. checking and filling service liq-
uids, can lead to injury, scalding, burns and
fires. Therefore the corresponding warnings
must always be observed

gine compartment. Handbrake 
If the
 warning lamp lights up, the hand-
br ak

e is applied. Additionally, driving the ve-
hicle at speeds exceeding 6 km/h (4 mph) for
at least 3 seconds produces an audible warn-
ing.
The informative display indicates:
Release the handbrake!
Brake system  The warning lamp 
illuminates if the brake
fluid level is too low or if there is a fault in the
ABS system.
The informative display indicates:

Instruments and warning lamps
Coolant level and temperature If the warning lamp
 (blue) is lit up, the en-
gine h a
s not yet reached its operating tem-
perature 1)
. Avoid high engine speeds, hard
acceleration and subjecting the engine to
high loads.
If the warning lamp  (red) is lit up or flash-
ing, the c

oolant 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 138 and refill if
nec e

ssary ››› page 138.
If the c
oolant is situated in the prescribed
area, the high temperature may be due to a
fault in the cooling system fan. Check the ra-
diator fan fuse and replace it if necessary
››› page 165, Changing fuses in the engine
compartment
.
If the warning lamp  (red) remains lit up,
despite both the coolant level and the radia-
tor fan fuse being in correct condition, 
stop the vehicle!
Go to a technical service. WARNING
● Take care when opening the coolant reser-
voir. When the engine is warm or hot, the
system is pressurised – Danger of burns!
Wait for the engine to cool before opening
the cover.
● Do not touch the fan. The fan can switch on
automatically regardless of whether the igni-
tion is switched on. Power steering 

 flashes, the ESC is
working.
If the  warning lamp illuminates on igni-
tion, the ESC system may have switched off

ent journey memory (memory 1)
The current journey memory collects data
from the moment the ignition is switched on
until it is switched off. If the journey is contin-
ued
within two hours of switching off the ig-
nition, the new values will be added to the
existing trip recorder memory. The memory
will automatically be deleted if the journey is
interrupted for
more than 2 hours.
Total distance travelled memory (memory 2)
The total distance travelled memory collects
journey data from any number of individual
journeys up to a maximum of 19 hours and
59 minutes and 1999 km or until 99 hours
and 59 minutes and 9999 km in cars with an
informative display. The memory will auto-
matically be deleted if one of the named val-
ues is reached, resetting the data collected.
Unlike the current journey memory, this
memory is not deleted, even when the igni-
tion is switched off for more than 2 hours. Note
After disconnecting the battery, all the values
stored in memories 1 and 2 are deleted. 39
