CAUTIONIf in addition to the symbol  the symbol  » page 35 illuminates while driv-
ing,  stop driving - risk of engine damage! Switch off the engine and seek as-
sistance from a specialist garage.
 Engine oil
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
When the warning light  is
illuminated or is flashing , the engine oil pressure
is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
›
Stop the vehicle and switch the engine off if the warning light does not ex-
tinguish or if it begins to flash while you are driving.
›
Check the oil level and top up with engine oil if necessary
» page 110, Check-
ing the oil level .
If the oil level is within the specified range and the warning light illuminates
or blinks again after the engine is started,  do not continue driving! Switch
off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
CAUTION
■ The red oil pressure light  is not an oil level indicator! One should there-
fore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably after every refuelling
stop.■
 Stop driving if for some reason it is not possible to top up the engine oil
under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
 Coolant
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light 
illuminates or flashes , either the coolant temperature is
too high or the coolant level is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning tone.
›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the coolant lev-
el » page 112 , Checking the coolant level .
›
If the coolant level is too low, add coolant to the reservoir » page 112.
Do not continue if for some reason it is not possible to fill with coolant under
the current circumstances! This can cause serious engine damage. Therefore,
switch the engine off and seek help from a specialist garage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan.›
Switch off the ignition.
›
Check the fuse for the radiator fan, replace if necessary » page 137, Fuses in
the engine compartment .
If the coolant level and fan fuse are OK and the warning light 
illuminates
again after switching on the ignition, 
stop driving!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING■ Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cool-
ing system is pressurized – risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the
engine to cool down before removing the cap.■
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
matically even if the ignition is off - a danger of injury is present!
CAUTION
■ Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

Warning light 
If the warning light 
illuminates and a beep sounds, then there is a fault to
the automated transmission. 
Do not drive the vehicle! Switch off the engine
and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
Warning light 
If the warning light 

be technical reasons for why the functionality of the automatic transmission is
limited.
