t illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Electronic Stability Control
and Traction Control system
b illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deteriorate
depending on road surface
conditions.

100Instruments and controlsHave the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Flashes
The system is actively engaged.
Engine output may be reduced and
the vehicle may be braked
automatically to a small degree.
Electronic Stability Control 3 173,
Traction Control system 3 172.
Traction Control system off
k illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Engine coolant temperature
W illuminates red.
Illuminates when the engine is
running
Stop, switch off engine.Caution
Coolant temperature too high.
Check coolant level immediately
3 232.
If there is sufficient coolant, consult a workshop.
Preheating
! illuminates yellow.
Preheating of Diesel engine is
activated. Only activates when
outside temperature is low. Start the
engine when control indicator
extinguishes.
AdBlue
Y flashes yellow.
AdBlue level is low. Refill AdBlue
soon to avoid prevention of the
engine start.
AdBlue 3 161.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
w illuminates or flashes yellow.Illuminates
Tyre pressure loss. Stop immediately and check tyre pressure.
Flashes
Fault in system or tyre without
pressure sensor mounted (e.g. spare
wheel). After 60 to 90 seconds the
control indicator illuminates
continuously. Consult a workshop.
Engine oil pressure
I illuminates red.
Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly after the engine starts.
Illuminates when the engine is
runningCaution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.

172Driving and operatingOperation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the brake pedal and a greater resistancewhen depressing the brake pedal.
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain
on for further two seconds. The
brakes release automatically as soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC).
TC improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
TC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When TC operates b flashes.
9 Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking risks
when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Control indicator b 3 99.
Deactivation
TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required: press t
briefly.

Driving and operating173
Control indicator k illuminates.
A status message appears in the
Driver Information Centre when TC is
deactivated.
When TC is deactivated, ESC
remains active but with higher control threshold.
TC is reactivated by pressing t again.
A status message pops up in the Driver Information Centre when TC is reactivated.
TC is also reactivated the next time
the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system the
control indicator b illuminates
continuously and a message appears
in the Driver Information Centre. The
system is not operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually.
ESC operates in combination with the
Traction Control system (TC). It
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
Torque distribution is a special
feature that allocates the torque to the drive wheels before the ESC
intervenes. When cornering, the
wheels on the inner curve are braked
individually. Additionally, engine
torque will be delivered to the drive wheel on the outer curve. This
reduces the tendency of
understeering and improves traction
when cornering fast.
ESC is operational after each engine
start as soon as the control indicator
b extinguishes.
When ESC operates b flashes.

feature tempt you into taking risks
