The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 288.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter.
Warning and indicator
Lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn
ing/indicator lamps and messages ¢ page 20.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.
Overview
When you switch on the ignition, some of the
warning and indicator lamps light up briefly to
show that the associated systems are working
properly. These systems are marked with a../ in
the following tables. If one of these warning/in
dicator lamps does not light up, there is a fault in
the associated system.

Pedestrian protection system
If the indicator Lamp El Lights up or flashes and
the bonnet is in a raised position, the pedestrian
protection system has been triggered. Please re
fer to¢ page 228, Pedestrian protection sys
tem.
.&_ WARNING
Have the safety systems examined without
delay; otherwise they may fail to trigger in an
accident -this could result in serious or possi
bly fatal injury.
� Engine management
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
If the indicator Lamp II Lights up, there is a fault
in the engine management system.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop without de
lay and have the engine checked.
W Engine management (diesel engine)
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
If the indicator Lamp II Lights up when the igni
tion is switched on, the glow plugs are preheat
ing.
If the indicator lamp flashes while the vehicle is
moving, there is a fault in the engine manage
ment system.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop without de
lay and have the fault rectified.
G Emission control system
If the indicator Lamp II Lights up or flashes, a
fault has occurred which can reduce the quality of
the exhaust gas and damage the catalytic con
verter.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop without de
lay and have the fault rectified.
@.> Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine and diesel particulate
filter
C Particulate filter: fault. See owner's manual The
diesel particulate filter requires regenera
tion. You can assist the self-cleaning function of
the filter by driving as follows:
Drive at a speed of at Least 60 km/h for about
15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear, or with the selec
tor lever in position Son vehicles with automatic
gearbox. Keep the engine speed at about
2000 rpm. As a result of the increase in tempera
ture, the soot in the filter will be burned off. The
indicator lamp will go out once the cleaning proc
ess has been completed successfully.
If the indicator Lamp does not go out, drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.
.&_ WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your speed to
suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic con
ditions. The recommended driving speed
must never Lead to the driver disregarding the
traffic reg u Lations.
@ Note
For more information about the diesel partic
ulate filter, refer to ¢page 244.
!?') Engine speed governing
Applies to: vehicles with engine speed governing
(m Max. engine speed: XXXX rpm
The engine speed will automatically be governed
to the speed displayed in the driver information
system. This protects the engine from overheat
ing.
The rev Limiter is deactivated as soon as the en
gine temperature is no Longer within the critical
range and you have taken your foot off the accel
erator.
If the rev Limiter has been activated because of a
fault in the engine management system, the in
dicator Lamp II will also Light up. Make sure that
the engine speed does not exceed the speed dis
played in the driver information system, for ex
ample when shifting down a gear. Drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.

The locking function may be affected if you grasp
the door handle while the vehicle is being locked.
Once the doors have been locked, they cannot be
opened again immediately. This will enable you
to check that the doors are properly closed.
The system will unlock either all the doors or only
one of the doors, depending on the settings you
have chosen on the infotainment system

{Q)) Note
Please note the following points if the vehicle
is left parked for long periods:
- To save electrical power, the proximity sen
sors are switched off after a few days. You
will then need to pull the door handle once
to unlock the vehicle, and a second time to
open it.
- To prevent the vehicle battery from becom
ing discharged and thus maintain the vehi
cle's starting ability for as long as possible,
the power management system will gradu
ally switch off convenience functions that
are not required. In this case you may not
be able to unlock the vehicle with this con
venience function.

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed -do not use full throt
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri
od you should continue driving at moderate en
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
CD CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*
¢ page 71 before driving through water.
i Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa
ter.
