Instruments and controls87AdBlue gauge
In versions without AdBlue level
warnings in the Driver Information
Centre, an AdBlue gauge is present,
which shows the current AdBlue fluid
level remaining in the tank.
Control indicator Y 3 95 illuminates
if the level in the tank is low. Refill AdBlue as soon as possible to avoid
prevention of engine starts.
AdBlue 3 138.
Engine coolant temperature

Control indicator W illuminates if the
temperature is too high 3 94,
3 95.
Caution
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.

Lighting105When the automatic light control
function is switched on and the
engine is running, the system
switches between daytime running
lights (where fitted) and headlights,
depending on the lighting conditions.
For reasons of safety, the light switch
should always remain in the AUTO
position.
Daytime running lights 3 106.
Automatic headlight activation During poor lighting conditions the
headlights are switched on.
High beamTo change between low and high
beam, pull lever until a click is felt.
High beam assist This feature allows high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night and when vehicle speed is
faster than 45 km/h.
It switches to low beam when: ● The camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.Activation
Turn the outer light switch to AUTO
then pull the turn signal lever to activate high beam assist.
The control indicator í illuminates
continuously in the instrument cluster when the assist is activated, while the
blue control indicator 7 3 97
illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator í 3 97.
Note
Use of the system does not relieve
the driver from full responsibility for
vehicle operation.
