Instruments and controls109ResetOn Midlevel display press SET/CLR
on turn signal lever for several
seconds to reset. The ignition must be
switched on but engine not running.
On Uplevel display press > on
steering wheel to open the subfolder. Select Reset and confirm by pressing
9 for several seconds. The ignition
must be switched on but engine not
running.
The system must be reset every time
the engine oil is changed to allow
proper functionality. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Next service When the system has calculated that
engine oil life has been diminished,
Change Engine Oil Soon appears in
the Driver Information Centre. Have
engine oil and filter changed by a
workshop within one week or
500 km (whichever occurs first).
Service information 3 277.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. When the
ignition is switched on, most control
indicators will illuminate briefly as a
functionality test.
The control indicator colours mean:red:danger, important reminderyellow:warning, information, faultgreen:confirmation of activationblue:confirmation of activationwhite:confirmation of activation
See all control indicators on different
instrument clusters 3 101.
Turn signal O illuminates or flashes green.
Illuminates briefly The parking lights are switched on.
Flashes
A turn signal or the hazard warning flashers are activated.
Rapid flashing: failure of a turn signal
light or associated fuse, failure of turn signal light on trailer.
Bulb replacement 3 235, Fuses

or flashes red in the roof console,
when seat is occupied.

112Instruments and controlsIlluminates
Electric parking brake is operating
with degraded performance 3 177.
Flashes
Electric parking brake is in service mode. Stop vehicle, apply and
release the electric parking brake to
reset.9 Warning
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 go out 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 3 176.
Gear shifting R or S with the number of a higher or
lower gear is indicated, when up- or
downshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Following distance
E indicates the following distance
setting of the alert timing sensitivity
for the forward collision alert using
filled distance bars.
Forward collision alert 3 193.
Lane keep assist
a illuminates green or yellow, or
flashes yellow.
Illuminates green
The system is switched on and ready
to operate.Illuminates yellow
The system approaches a detected
lane marking without using the turn
signal in that direction.
Flashes yellow The system recognizes that the lane
is departed significantly.
Lane keep assist 3 215
Electronic Stability Control off
n illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Electronic Stability Controland Traction Control system
b illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates
A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deterioratedepending on road surface
conditions.

168Driving and operatingDiesel particle filterAutomatic cleaning process
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may
take up to 25 minutes. Typically it
needs between seven and twelve
minutes. Autostop is not available
and fuel consumption may be higher
during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process is normal.
System requires cleaning
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will beindicated by % and a warning
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
% with a warning message
illuminates when diesel particle filter
is full. Start cleaning process as soon
as possible.
% with a warning message flashes
when diesel particle filter has reached the maximum filling level. Start
cleaning process immediately to
avoid damage to the engine.
Activate self-cleaning process
To activate cleaning process,
continue driving, keep engine speed
above 2000 revolutions per minute.
Shift down if necessary. Diesel
particle filter cleaning is then started.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high
engine speeds and loads.
The control indicator % extinguishes
as soon as the self-cleaning
operation is complete. Keep on
driving until self-cleaning operation is
complete.Caution
When possible, do not interrupt
cleaning process. Drive until
cleaning is completed to avoid
service or repair by a workshop.
Cleaning process not possible
If cleaning is not possible for any
reasons, Z illuminates and a warning
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre. Engine power
may be reduced. Seek the assistance
of a workshop immediately.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.

Vehicle care257Select the Tyre pressure page under
the Info Menu in the Driver
Information Centre 3 115.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message
indicating the corresponding tyre in
the Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.
Temperature dependency 3 255.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 113.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 293.
If w flashes for 60-90 seconds then
illuminates continuously, there is a
fault in the system. Consult a
workshop.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after driving, this
could be an indicator for approaching a low tyre pressure condition. Check
tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 123.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these tyres. Control indicator w
illuminates. For the further three
tyres, the system remains
operational.The use of commercially-available liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being
close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced.
For the screwed sensor, replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor, replace complete
valve stem.
Vehicle loading status
Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according to the tyre information label
or tyre pressure chart 3 293, and
select the appropriate setting in the
menu Tyre Load in the Driver
Information Centre, Vehicle
Information Menu 3 115. This setting
is the reference for the tyre pressure
warnings.

Collision damage repair Paint thickness
Due to production techniques, the
thickness of the paint can vary
between 50 and 400 µm.
Therefore, different paint thickness is
no indicator for a collision damage
repair.Software acknowledgement
