Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauger=> page 10,
Fig. 3@ only works when the ignition is switched
on. In order to avoid possible damage to the en
gine, please read the following notes for the dif
ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
The LEDs will settle somewhere in the centre of
the display once the engine has reached operat
ing temperature. If the warning lamp. lights
up on the infotainment display, the coolant tem
perature is too high r=> page 14.
10 CD
CAUTION
-Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assista nee.
i Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.
Fuel gauge
The gauge @only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, a red LED will light up and the indicator
lamp I]] will appear r=> page 18. The LED will
flash in red if the fuel level is very low.

Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys

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

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.
