when the ignition is switched on. This warn-
ing lamp must switch off after covering a
short distance. Traction control system (ASR)* 

If the  warning lamp illuminates on igni-
tion, the TCS system may have switched off
due to technical reasons. Turn off the ignition
and turn it on again. Upon switching on the
ignition again, if the warning lamp has
switched off, this means the TCS is function-
ing correctly again.
If the  warning lamp remains illuminated,
there is a fault in the TCS.

fault in a bulb:
● for several seconds after switching on the
ignition,
● When connecting a faulty bulb
This i
s indicated on the informative display,
e.g.:
Check the front right dipped
beam headlight! Note
The rear side lights and number plate light
cont ain sev

eral bulbs. The control lamp 
lights up only when there is a fault in all the
number plate bulbs or side light bulbs (of a
combined tail light). Therefore it is advisable
to regularly check the bulb operation. Emission control system
 If the warning lamp
 is
lit
up, there is a
fault in the emission system. The engine con-
trol unit allows driving to continue in an
emergency program.

Operation
Preheating  (die sel
en gines)When you switch on the ignition, the warning
lamp


lights up. The engine can be started
straight away when the lamp switches off.
If the  warning lamp does not illuminate or
if it does not switch off , there is a fault in the
glow plug system.
If the warning lamp  starts to flash while
driving, there is a fault in the engine power
control electronic system. The engine control
unit allows driving to continue in an emer-
gency program.
Go to a technical service.
Engine management  (petr
ol en-
gines) If the
 warning lamp is illuminated, there is
a f au

lt in the engine management system.
The engine control unit allows driving to con-
tinue in an emergency program.
Go to a technical service.
Particulate filter  (diesel en
gines)The diesel engine particulate filter eliminates
mo
st

of the soot from the exhaust gas sys-
tem. Under normal driving conditions, the fil-
ter cleans itself. The diesel particulate filter is cleaned automatically without need for indi-
cation by

the warning lamp . This may be
noticed because the engine idle speed in-
creases and an odour may be detected.
If automatic filter purification cannot be car-
ried out (because only short trips are taken,
for example), soot will accumulate on the fil-
ter and the Diesel particulate filter warning
lamp will  switch on.
Facilitate the automatic filter cleaning proc-
ess by driving in the following manner: drive
for approximately 15 minutes at a minimum
speed of 60 km/h in 4th or 5th gear (auto-
matic gearbox: gear S). Maintain the engine
speed at approximately 2,000 rpm. The rise
in temperature causes the soot on the filter
to burn. On completion of the cleaning the
warning lamp will switch off.
If the lamp  does not turn off, or the three
lamps turn on (particulate filter , fault in
the emission control system  and glow
plugs ), drive the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired at the
earliest opportunity. WARNING
● Alw a

ys drive according to the road weather
conditions, the terrain and traffic.
● The particulate filter attains very high tem-
peratur
es. Therefore, do not park the vehicle
in places where the exhaust pipe could come into contact with dry grass or with highly-
flamm
ab

le materials. Risk of fire! CAUTION
While the warning lamp  i s lit
up, the fuel
consumption is high, and in certain condi-
tions, the engine power is reduced. Note
● In order f or the p

articulate filter to burn off
soot in a correct manner, avoid carrying out
frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count
can con
siderably 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  w
arning lamp illuminates when ap-
pr o

ximately 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
aft er r

efuelling and carrying out a short jour-
ney. 102

Instruments and warning lamps
Airbag system  If the warning lamp
 is lit up, there is a
fault in the airbag system.
The informative display indicates:

When there is a fault in the airbag system,
hav e an in

spection carried out by an Author-
ised Service. Otherwise the airbags may fail
to trigger in an accident. Tyre pressure control* 
If the
 warning lamp illuminates, the pres-
s ur

e in one of the tyres has decreased signifi-
cantly. Check and adjust the pressure of all
the tyres ›››
page 215.
If the  warning lamp flashes, there is a fault
in the system.

If the battery is disconnected the warning
lamp 

lights up when the ignition is switch-
ed on. This warning lamp must switch off af-
ter covering a short distance. Level of windscreen washer fluid
