extinguish 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.
If u illuminates together with R,
there is a fault in the braking system. Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. ABS unavailable , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 89. Seek the assistance of
a workshop immediately.

filter
I flashes red.
Illuminates 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

Centre 3 89.
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 one minute every two hours, or
● for three minute cycles with I off
for intervals of five 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.

Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 114.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Steering If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.

118Driving and operatingControl indicator % illuminates when
diesel particle filter is full. Start cleaning process as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine.
Cleaning process
To activate cleaning process,
continue driving, keep engine speed
above 2000 rpm. Shift down if
necessary. Diesel particle filter
cleaning is then started.Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted, there is a risk of
provoking severe engine damage.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.
Control indicator % extinguishes as
soon as the self-cleaning operation is
complete.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 131, 3 178 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.
Manual transmission
To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary, wait three seconds after
depressing the clutch pedal, pull up
the collar on the selector lever and
engage the gear.
If the gear does not engage, set the
lever to neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then repeat
gear selection.
Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch
pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
