WARNINGFor the vehicle systems to function correctly, and thus for safe driving,
there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drain the fuel tank com-
pletely – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and the
exhaust system.
Note
■ After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous
curves, braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indi-
cates a fraction less.■
The arrow
next to the symbol
within the fuel gauge displays the installa-
tion location of the fuel filler on the right side of the vehicle.

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.
The warning lights are located at the following positions in the instrument
cluster » Fig. 20 on page 32 .

Warning lights in the display
Depending on the importance the warning light
(danger) or
(warning) illu-
minate along with some of the warning lights in the list with the warning
lights.
Depending on vehicle equipment some warning lights can be displayed in col-
our on the display. For example. the coolant warning lamp may be represented
as follows.
▶ - Segment display / monochromatic (“black and white”) MAXI DOT display
▶ - Coloured MAXI DOT display
WARNING■
Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal 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 switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 70. Place the warning triangle at the prescribed dis-
tance.

▶ Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake fluid
» page 282 .
WARNING■
If the warning light lights up at the same time as warning light
» page 36 , Anti-lock braking system (ABS) , do not continue your
journey! Seek help from a specialist garage.■
A fault to the ABS system or the braking system can increase the vehi-
cle's braking distance – risk of accident!
Front seat belt warning light
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
lights up - the driver or front passenger has not fastened their seat belt.
At a speed of more than approximately 30 km/h, the warning light flashes
and an audible warning sounds at the same time.
If the seat belt is not fastened by the driver or front passenger during the next
approx. 2 minutes, the warning signal is deactivated and the warning light
illuminates permanently.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
illuminates - the ACC delay is not sufficient.
▶ Apply the brake.
For more information about the ACC system » page 243.
Power steering / steering lock (KESSY system)
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
Fault in the power steering
lights up – this indicates a complete failure of the power steering and the
steering assist is no longer working (significantly higher steering forces).
lights up – this indicates a partial failure of the power steering and the
steering forces can be greater.
▶ Seek help from a specialist garage.
Steering lock defect (KESSY system)
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
flashes
Steering column lock faulty. Stop!STOP VEHICLE STEERING FAULTY
▶ Park the vehicle,
stop driving ! After switching off the ignition, it is no lon-
ger possible to lock the steering, to activate the electrical components (e.g.
Infotainment ), to switch on the ignition again and to start the engine. Seek
help from a specialist garage.
flashes

▶ You can drive on, exercising appropriate caution. Seek assistance from a spe-
cialist garage immediately.
Steering column lock not unlocked (System KESSY)
flashes
Move the steering wheel!MOVE STEERING WHEEL
▶ Move the steering wheel slightly back and forth, thereby facilitating unlock-
ing the steering lock.
▶ If the steering does also not unlock then, the help of a specialist garage is
required.
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 the motor is restarted and a short drive, the indicator light does not go
out, there is a system error.
35Instruments and warning lights

Other incidents
The illumination of the warning light can have the following reasons.
▶ The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute the load evenly.
▶ 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 can be delayed or does not light up at all.
Brake linings
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
illuminates - the brake pads are worn.
▶ You can drive on, exercising appropriate caution. Seek assistance from a spe-
cialist garage immediately.
