CAUTION
If in addition to the symbol  the symbol  » page 36 lights up while driving,
 stop driving - risk of engine damage! Switch off the engine and seek assis-
tance from a specialist garage.
 Door open

 Coolant
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
If the warning light 
lights up or flashes , either the coolant temperature is
too high or the coolant level is too low.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Check engine coolant! Owner's manual!
›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the coolant lev-
el » page 185 .
›
If the coolant level is too low, add coolant to the reservoir » page 186.
If the indicator light 
does not illuminate after adding coolant and switching
on the ignition, you may continue your journey.
If the coolant is within the specified range and the warning icon is still
lit
after switching on the ignition, then there may be a malfunction of the cooling
fan.
›
Switch off the ignition.
› Check the fuse for the radiator fan, replace if necessary

the engine compartment .
If the coolant level and fan fuse are OK and the warning icon 
lights up 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 - risk of injury!
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.
