90Instruments and controlsPreheating and diesel
particle filter ! illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates Preheating activated. Only activates
when outside temperature is low.
Flashes Control indicator ! flashes if the
diesel particle filter requires cleaning
and previous driving conditions did
not permit automatic cleaning.
Continue driving and if possible do
not allow engine speed to drop below
2000 rpm.
The control indicator ! goes off as
soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete.
Diesel particle filter 3 127.
Deflation detection system
and tyre pressure
monitoring system
w illuminates or flashes red or yellow.Control indicator illuminates red
Tyre pressure loss. Stop immediately
and check tyre pressure. A maximum speed of 50 mph is permitted for run-
flat tyres 3 172.
Control indicator illuminates
yellow
Fault in system or tyre without
pressure sensor mounted (e.g. spare
wheel). Consult a workshop.
Flashes
Flashes three times to indicate system initialisation.
Deflation detection system 3 175,
tyre pressure monitoring system
3 174.
Interactive driving system, continuous damping
control, sport mode IDS+ illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for approximately
10 seconds after the driver's door is
opened. Illumination whilst drivingindicates a fault in the system. The
system switches to the harder chassis setting for reasons of safety. Have the
cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
IDS Plus

control 3 141, Sport mode 3 140.
Engine oil pressure I illuminates red.
Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and goes out shortly after
the engine starts.
Illuminates when the engine isrunningCaution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.

Control of the vehicleNever coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others.
Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Diesel particle filter 3 127.
