An audible signal sounds as a warning.
WARNINGIn order for the vehicle systems to function properly and thus to make driv-
ing safe, there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drive until the fuel
tank is completely empty - there is a risk of accidents!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! Irregular supply of fuel can
cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and the ex-
haust system.

The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate the status of certain
functions or the presence of faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster if required.
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 extin-
guishes for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the
engine.
WARNING■ Ignoring light-up indicator lamps in the instrument cluster and the control
symbols in the display may cause serious injury or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard
warning light system » page 52. Place the warning triangle at the prescri-
bed distance.

123Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey if the en-
gine has been working at high revs over a prolonged period, but leave it to run
at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off.
Note
After switching off the ignition, the radiator fan may (also intermittently) con-
tinue to operate for approx. 10 minutes.
START-STOPsystem
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
97
Manually deactivating/activating the system
97
The START-STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as: the system) reduces CO 2emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
(e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it again when mov-
ing off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, the others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
Therefore the system may react differently in situations which seem identi-
cal from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even where this has previously been manually deactivated with the button
 ).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains on.96Driving
