The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine. 
31Instruments and Indicator Lights

If the warning light  flashes after starting the engine again, there is a system
error.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Disconnecting the vehicle battery
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the indicator
light 
comes on after switching on the ignition.
The warning light should go out after driving a short distance.
If, after a short drive, the indicator light does not go out, there is a system er-
ror.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Other incidents
The illumination of the warning light  can have the following reasons.
▶ The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶ The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
▶ Snow chains are mounted.
▶ A wheel has been changed.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light  in the instrument cluster may be delayed or not
light up at all.

 flashes – the left turn signal is turned on.
 flashes – the right turn signal is turned on.
If there is a fault in the turn signal system, the warning light flashes at twice
its normal rate. This does not apply when towing a trailer.
When the hazard warning light system is switched on, this will cause all of the
turn signal lights as well as both warning lights to flash.
 Trailer turn signal lights

on page 32 first.
 flashes – the trailer lights are switched on.
If a trailer is hitched and the warning light  is not flashing, one of the trailer
turn signal lights has failed.

Displaying an error
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
also indicated by the symbol 
flashing in the button. Seek help from a spe-
cialist garage.
Note
The system can only be activated with the symbol key  at a speed of below
approx. 15 km / hr.
Automatic system activation when moving forward

Infotainment display: Display
with automatic activation
Read and observe and on page 108 first.
The automatic system activation occurs when moving forward at a speed be-
low 10 km / h when the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
After activation, the following is shown in the left pane of the Infotainment
display » Fig. 119 .
Acoustic signals are sounded as of a distance from the obstacle of around
50 cm.
The automatic display can be enabled or disabled in the Infotainment » Owner

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Functioning
110
Operating Description
111The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal.
The state where the CCS maintains the speed is referred to hereinafter as the
control .WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 105, in section Introduction .■
After pressing the clutch pedal, no interrupted control occurs! For exam-
ple, if a different gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is released, control is
continued.

Speed set, but control is inactive.
Control is active.
No speed set.
System fault - seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Basic requirements for starting the control The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the second gear or higher is en-
gaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than approx. 20 km/h.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.
WARNINGIf the engine power and engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain
the set speed, vehicle operation must be taken over!Operating DescriptionFig. 122

If no speed is set the current speed is adopted.
At the start of the regulation the CCS regulates the vehicle to the current
speed, and this speed is shown on the instrument cluster display. The warning
light  illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Automatic control interruption
Automatic control interruption occurs if any of the following conditions are
met. ▶ The brake pedal is operated.
▶ When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶ Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions. 
