Instruments and warning lamps
Go to a technical service.
Particulate filter  (diesel engines)The particulate filter eliminates soot from
emissions. The particles accumulate in the
filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp
 is illuminated, the fil-
ter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traf-
fic 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
1,800-2,500 rpm.
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 con-
tinue in an emergency program. When
switching the ignition off and on again, the
 warning lamp also illuminates.
Go to a technical service. WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high tem-
peratures. 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! CAUTION
While the warning lamp  is lit up, the fuel
c
onsumption is high, and in certain condi-
tions, 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 pro-
vides information about the countries where
fuel with a high sulphur content is used. Fuel reserve
 The  warning lamp illuminates when ap-
proximately only 7 litres of fuel remain in the
tank
The informative display indicates:
Refuel! Fuel range…km...(miles) Note
The message on the display switches off only
after refuelling and carrying out a short jour-
ney. Airbag system 
If the warning lamp
 is lit up, there is a
f au
lt in the airbag system.
The informative display indicates: Airbag fault!
The airbag system availability is controlled
electronically, regardless of whether an air-
bag is disabled.
If the front airbag, side airbag, head protec-
tion airbag or the belt tensioner are disabled
using the diagnostics system:
● After switching on the ignition, the  warn-
ing lamp illuminates for about 4 seconds and
flashes for another 12 seconds.

windscreen washers
Introduction The windscreen wipers and windscreen
washers only work when the ignition is
switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid
››› page 139. WARNING
● Make sure the blades ››› page 162 are in
perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/wipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● During winter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on
the ignition. If you switch on the windscreen
wipers when the wiper blades are frozen to
the glass, this could damage both the wiper
blades and the wiper motor.
● If the ignition is switched off when the
windscreen wipers are on, they will start op-
erating in the same mode when the ignition
is switched back on. The wiper blades may be
frozen to the glass at low temperatures when
the ignition is switched off.
● Carefully separate the frozen wipers from
the windscreen or rear window. 68

Operation
Switching off the wipers – Move the lever to position 0
››› Fig. 56 . WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain
to switch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the windscreen obstructs visi-
bility. Note
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in front
of the rain sensor*. This may cause sensor
disruption or faults. Headlight washer system*
The headlight washers operate briefly if the
dipped headlights or headlights are on and
the lever is moved to position

The he a
dlight washer system also operates
every 10 windscreen wash cycles.
Clean off stubborn dirt (insects, etc.) from the
headlights at regular intervals, for instance
when filling the fuel tank. Please observe the
following indications ›››
page 126, Head-
lights.
To en

sure the system works properly in win-
ter, keep the nozzle holders free of snow and
remove any ice with a de-icer spray. CAUTION
Never pull on the nozzle holders. Risk of
damage to the system! Rear vision mirrors

● Convex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects appear smaller and further away than
they really are. For this reason, you should
not rely on these rear vision mirrors for judg-
ing the distance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to estimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Exterior mirrors are only heated when the
engine is running. 70

Operation
Note
● Only connect the heated seats when the
engine is running. This provides considerable
savings on the battery capacity.
● In the event of a drop in voltage in the on-
board systems, the heated seats switch off

trol the engine ››› page 143, Automatic dis-
