100Instruments and controls9Warning
Have the cause of the fault
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Service display
Control indicator  o also illuminates in
the Driver Information Centre when
the remaining distance before the
next service reaches 0 miles or the
service date is due.
The message  SERVICE DUE  also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
Service display  3 94.
Stop engine
C  illuminates red.
Illuminates briefly when the ignition is
switched on.
If  C  illuminates (possibly in
combination with  W and / or  R ), stop
vehicle and switch off engine as soon
as possible.
9 Warning
Have the cause of the fault
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Depending on the type of fault, a
warning message may also appear in the Driver Information Centre  3 104.
Brake system
R  illuminates red.
Control indicator  R remains
illuminated after the ignition is
switched on if the parking brake is
applied and extinguishes when the
parking brake is released  3 157.
When the parking brake is released, R  illuminates (possibly in
combination with  C) if the brake fluid
level is too low  3 185.
9 Warning
Stop. Do not continue your
journey. Consult a workshop.

operation when  u extinguishes.
If control indicators  u and  A
illuminate with the messages  CHECK
ABS  and  CHECK ESP  in the Driver
Information Centre  3 104, there is a
fault in the ABS. The brake system
remains operational but without ABS
regulation.
If control indicators  u, A , R  and
C  illuminate, the ABS and ESP are
deactivated and the message
BRAKING FAULT  is displayed. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Antilock brake system  3 156.
Upshift
k  or  j illuminates yellow.
Illuminates when gearshifting is
recommended for fuel saving
reasons.
ECO mode  3 135. 

156Driving and operatingDeactivation
The Laden mode is switched off by:
● pressing  kg again
● turning off the ignition
Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed. Full
engine power is available for
acceleration.
If engine speed is too high the
transmission switches to a higher
gear, even in manual mode. Without
kickdown this automatic shift is not
effected in manual mode.
Fault
In the event of a fault, control indicator
W  is shown in the transmission
display. Continued driving is possible
provided the vehicle is driven with
care and anticipation.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.Interruption of power supply
The clutch is not disengaged if there
is an interruption of the power supply
when a gear is engaged. The vehicle
cannot move.
If the vehicle battery is discharged,
start the vehicle using jump leads
3  217.
If the cause of the fault is not a
discharged vehicle battery, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If neutral cannot be selected, the
vehicle must only be towed with the
drive wheels raised off the ground
3  219.
Towing the vehicle  3 219.Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when you depress the
brake pedal firmly. You need to use considerably more force for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator  R 3  100.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking. 

Driving and operating157ABS starts to regulate brake pressure
as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
Control indicator  u 3  100.
Fault
If control indicators  u and  j
illuminate with the messages  CHECK
ABS  and  CHECK ESP  in the Driver
Information Centre, there is a fault in
the ABS. The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
If control indicators  u, j , R  and
C  illuminate, the ABS and ESP are
deactivated and the message
BRAKING FAULT  is shown in the
Driver Information Centre. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal at the same time. 

Vehicle care199It is advisable to carry a full set of
fuses. Consult a workshop.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.
Notice
Not all fuse box descriptions in this
manual may apply to your vehicle.
When inspecting the fuse box, refer to the fuse box label.
Fuse extractor
To help in replacing fuses, a fuse
extractor is located in the instrument
panel fuse box.
Place the fuse extractor on the
various types of fuse from the top or
side, and withdraw fuse.
Engine compartment fusebox
Located below the coolant expansion tank.
Some circuits may be protected by
several fuses.
Due to restricted accessibility, have
fuses replaced by a workshop.SymbolCircuitSRight side lightsTLeft side lightsWRight low beamaLeft low beam>Front fog lightLLeft high beamNRight high beamuABS

Vehicle care221Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
Appearance care
Exterior care Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a
degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using a de-icing agent,
have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
WashingThe paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing. Restrictions for
filmed or matt painted body parts or
decor tapes, see "Polishing and
waxing".
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned
off immediately, as they contain
aggressive constituents which can
cause paint damage.If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. The windscreen wipers
must be switched off and the exterior
mirrors must be folded in. Remove
antenna and external accessories
such as roof racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with a
cleaning solution approved for
aluminium to avoid damages.Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with
a pH value of four to nine.
Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
