Instruments and controls73Caution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
Service display
Service display is available in
vehicles with Multifunction version of the Driver Information Centre (DIC)3 85.
When the ignition is switched on, the remaining distance before the next
service is due is shown briefly. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1,250 miles, Serv. appears in the DIC.
The service reminder is repeated
after every additional 125 miles and becomes more frequent when the
remaining distance is below
125 miles.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
The remaining distance to the next
service may also be viewed in the DIC by selecting SERVICE from the
settings menu options 3 85.
Resetting the service display After a service, the service display
must be reset by a workshop.

Control indicators The control indicators described are
not present in all vehicles. The
description applies to all instrument
versions. Depending on the
equipment, the position of the control
indicators may vary.
Instruments and controls83Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly after the engine starts.
The engine oil life monitor lets you know when to change the oil. Control
indicator I will flash to indicate that
engine oil life has been diminished
and the oil needs changing.
Depending on version, a warning
message may also be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Based on driving conditions, the
interval at which an oil change will be
indicated can vary considerably.
Depending on model variant, I may
flash in the following ways:
● for 1 minute every 2 hours, or
● for 3 minute cycles with I off for
intervals of 5 seconds
The warning will be repeated every
time the engine is started, until the
engine oil is changed and the service
display is reset. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
Service display 3 73.Low engine oil level
S illuminates red.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched on.
If the control indicator does not
extinguish after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, the engine
oil level is insufficient.
Depending on version, a warning
message may also be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC)
3 85.
Check oil level before seeking the assistance of a workshop 3 135.
Low fuel $ illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched on.
Illuminates
Level in fuel tank is too low. Refuel
immediately 3 127.
Never run the tank dry.
Catalytic converter 3 114.Flashes
Fault in fuel system. Have the cause
of the fault remedied by a workshop.
The needle in the fuel gauge will point to 0. Fuel gauge 3 71.
Drain fuel filter U illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched on.
Illuminates when the engine is
running
Indicates the presence of water in the
diesel. Depending on version, a
warning message may also be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 85. Seek the
assistance of a workshop
immediately.
Immobiliser d illuminates yellow.
Fault in the immobiliser system. The
engine cannot be started.
Vehicle care153Relearn function
After changing wheels, TPMS needs
to recalculate. The relearn process
takes up to 20 minutes of driving with
a minimum speed of 15 mph.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, control indicator w flashes
for several seconds then illuminates
continuously and (depending on
version) a warning message is
displayed in the DIC.

General information The use of tyre chains or
commercially available liquid tyre
repair kits can impair the function of
the system. Factory-approved tyre
repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 154, Tyre chains
3 154.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
Each time the tyres are replaced,
TPMS sensors must be dismounted
and serviced by a workshop.Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons, it is
recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary
by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
is the same as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.

Service information In order to ensure economical and
safe vehicle operation and to
maintain the value of your vehicle, it
is of vital importance that all
maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified.
The detailed, up-to-date service
schedule for your vehicle is available
at the workshop.
Service display 3 73.
Service intervals - petrol and CNG
engines
Maintenance of your vehicle is
required every 18,000 miles or
2 years, whichever occurs first.
Service intervals - diesel enginesMaintenance of your vehicle is
required every 21,000 miles or
2 years, whichever occurs first,
unless otherwise indicated in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.A shorter service interval can be valid
for severe driving behaviour, e.g. for
taxis and police vehicles.
Service display 3 73.
Confirmations Confirmation of service is recorded inthe Service and Warranty Booklet.
The date and mileage is completed
with the stamp and signature of the
servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
Warranty Booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty or
goodwill claims are to be met, and is
also a benefit when selling the
vehicle.
Service interval with remaining
engine oil life duration
The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
Service and maintenance169Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information on the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade 3 171.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only antifreeze approved for the
vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C. This concentration
should be maintained all year round.
The use of additional coolant
additives that intend to give additional
corrosion protection or seal against
minor leaks can cause function
problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional
coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
