If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
For physical reasons, the coolant temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.
Engine oil level monitor
The engine oil level monitor is correct
only if the vehicle is parked on a level
surface with a cold engine.
If the engine oil level is correct when
the ignition is switched on OIL LEVEL
CORRECT appears briefly in the
Driver Information Centre.
If the engine oil is above the minimum level, press the trip computer button
on the end of the wiper lever within
30 seconds of switching on the
ignition. The message OIL LEVEL is
displayed in combination with the
squares that correspond to the oil
level.
As the oil level diminishes, the
squares in the display are replaced
with dashes.▢▢▢▢▢▢:maximum level▢▢▢- - -:intermediate level- - - - - -:minimum level
If the minimum engine oil level is
reached TOP-UP OIL LEVEL is
displayed in combination with control

Driving and operating141Caution
Ensure there is adequate
clearance and that there are no
obstructions when adjusting the
suspension height.
The remote control unit is magnetic
and may be fixed to any metal part of the vehicle or stored in its holder.
With the engine running, press the appropriate button for two seconds to
adjust the suspension height.
Indicator light will flash intermittently
while height adjustment is in progress
and illuminates when complete.
If the ignition is switched on with
engine not running, the suspension
height can only be lowered.
Note
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Pre-programmed settings
Adjusts the suspension height to one
of three pre-programmed positions.
l:lowered positionk:normal positionj:raised positionCaution
If an obstacle is detected while
raising or lowering, the
suspension height is returned to the normal position after a delay.
This does not guarantee damage- free operation. Ensuring sufficient
clearance and freedom from
obstacles is the responsibility of the driver.
Manual settings
Manual adjustment can only be
performed when the vehicle is
stationary.
Select by pressing h for
two seconds , then R to raise, or S to
lower.
To exit, press any of the pre-
programmed buttons.
Note
Obstacle detection is not available
during manual adjustment.
When a certain low speed is
exceeded or when the ignition is
switched off, height adjustment is deactivated automatically and the
suspension height is returned to the
normal position.
Service modeWhen the vehicle is stationary, press
i for five seconds to put the vehicle
into service mode. The indicator light
will illuminate.
When service mode has been
activated, the air suspension master
switch must be turned off.
To exit service mode, press i again
for five seconds.
Fault
If a fault is detected, i will flash
intermittently. If service mode has been activated and there is a fault, h,
S and R will flash simultaneously.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Vehicle care203After a puncture has been repaired
and the driver has inflated the tyres to
the correct tyre pressure, the tyre
pressure monitoring system needs to
recalculate.
Tyre pressure 3 246, Tyre repair kit
3 204.
During driving, select the tyre
pressure menu in the Driver
Information Centre by pressing button on end of wiper lever. Press and holdbutton for approx. five seconds to
initialise recalculation. A
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Several minutes of driving at a speed
above 40 km/h may be required to
complete the relearn process. The system can only provide limited
information during this time.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, control indicator w remains
illuminated and a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 102.
Vehicle messages 3 103.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 3 204, Tyre chains
3 204.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, the
tyre pressure monitoring system
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 two-
three mm (four 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 two 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.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every six years.
Changing tyre and wheelsize
If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
