Have the cause of the fault
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Antilock brake system
(ABS) u illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on. The system is
ready for operation when the control
indicator extinguishes.
If the control indicator does not
extinguish after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is a
fault in the ABS. The brake system
remains operational but without ABS
regulation.
Antilock brake system 3 171.
Upshift [ illuminates green as a control
indicator, or is shown as a symbol in
the Driver Information Centre with
Uplevel-Combi-Display, when
upshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
On some versions, gearshift
indication is popped-up as a full page in the Driver Information Centre.

210Driving and operating
Pressing Y switches between petrol
and natural gas operation. Switching
is not possible at high loads (e.g.
strong acceleration, running at full
throttle). The LED status shows the
current operating mode.1 off=natural gas
operation1 illumi‐
nates=petrol operation1 flashes=no switching is
possible, one type of
fuel is empty
As soon as the natural gas tank is empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged until the
ignition is switched off.
If the natural gas tank is not refuelled, the system must be manually
switched to petrol operation before
the engine is started-up again. This
will prevent damage to the catalytic
converter (overheating caused by
irregular fuel supply).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover block is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The block remains
active until the ignition is switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving
style (e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres) and vehicle loads (e.g.
towing loads) accordingly.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates, then refuel. This is
necessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. Switch off
any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
