•The coolant is too hot and the engine is no
longer being cooled sufficiently.
Observe the additional display messages in the
vehicle information display.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying attention
to road and traffic conditions, and switch off the
engine.
Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
Leave the vehicle and keep a safe distance from
the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
Check the coolant level and top up the coolant,
observing the warning notes (see If your ve-
hicle overheats in the6. In case of emergency
section).
If you have to top up the coolant frequently,
have the engine cooling system checked.
Make sure that the air supply to the engine
radiator is not blocked, e. g. by frozen slush.
Do not start the engine again until the coolant
temperature is below 250
oF (120oC). The
engine may otherwise be damaged.
Low fuel warning light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is conve-
nient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
There will be a small reserve of fuel in the
tank when the fuel gauge reaches 0 (Empty).
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
warning light
The VDC warning light blinks when the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system is operating,
thus alerting the driver to the fact that the road
surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its
traction limits.
You may feel or hear the system working, this is
normal.
The light will continue to blink for a few seconds
after the VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
Cruise control or Intelligent Cruise Control is
deactivated.
For additional information see Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light in the
2. Instruments and controls section andVe-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system in the

Control (VDC) has been disabled. This indicates
that the VDC system is not operating.
Disabling the VDC system causes the Forward
Emergency Braking system to become unavail-
able. See Forward emergency braking (FEB)
system (if equipped) in the5. Starting and
driving section for more details.
This light also comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position. The
light will turn off after approximately 1 second if
the VDC system is operational.
When the VDC OFF indicator light and VDC
warning light (see Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) warning light later in this section) come
on with the VDC system turned on, it alerts the
driver to the fact that the system’s fail-safe
mode is operating. This means that the system
may not be functioning properly. Have the
