Instruments and controls87Fuel gauge
Displays the fuel level in the tank.
Control indicator o illuminates if the
level in the tank is low.
Never run the fuel tank dry.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified fuel tank capacity.
Fuel selector
Liquid gas operation, LPG
Pressing LPG switches between
petrol and liquid gas operation as
soon as the required parameters (coolant temperature, gas
temperature and minimum engine
speed) have been reached. The
requirements are usually fulfilled after
approximately 60 seconds
(depending on exterior temperature)
and the first firm press on the
accelerator. The status LED shows
the current operating mode.
LED off:petrol operationLED
flashes:checking conditions for
fuel transition to liquid

flashes 5
times
and
extin‐
guishes:liquid gas tank is empty
or failure in liquid gas
system. A message is
displayed in the Driver
Information Centre.
If the fuel tank is empty, the engine
will not start.
The selected fuel mode is stored and reactivated at the next ignition cycle if
conditions allow.
As soon as the liquid gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged until the
ignition is switched off.
When switching automatically
between petrol or gas operation, a
brief delay of engine tractive power
may be noticeable.
88Instruments and controlsEvery six months, run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates, then refuel. This helps
maintain fuel quality and system
function for petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.
Faults and remedies
If gas mode is not possible, check the following:
● Is there enough liquid gas present?
● Is there enough petrol present for
starting?
Due to extreme temperatures in
combination with the gas
composition, it may take slightly
longer before the system switches
from petrol to gas mode.
In extreme situations, the system may
also switch back to petrol mode if the
minimum requirements are not
fulfilled. If conditions allow, it may be
possible to manually switch back to
liquid gas operation.Seek the assistance of a workshop in
the event of all other faults.Caution
Repairs and adjustments may only be made by trained specialists in
order to maintain the safety and
warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be
detected easily.
9 Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in
the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No
smoking. No naked flames or
ignition sources.
If the gas odour persists, do not start
the engine. Have the cause of the
fault remedied by a workshop.
When using underground car parks,
follow the instructions of the operator
and local laws.
Note
In the event of an accident, switch off
the ignition and lights.

Control indicator o illuminates if
engine coolant temperature is too
high.
Instruments and controls89Caution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
Engine oil level monitor
The state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre for a few seconds following
the service information after switching
on the ignition.
A proper state of oil level is indicated
by the message Oil level correct.
If oil level is low, I flashes and Oil
level incorrect is indicated,
accompanied by the H indicator.
Confirm oil level by using the oil
dipstick and top up engine oil
respectively. Engine oil 3 188.
A fault of measurment is indicated by
the message Oil level measurment
invalid . Check oil level manually by
using the dipstick.
Service display
The service system informs when to
change the engine oil and filter or a
vehicle service is required. Based on
driving conditions, the interval at
which an engine oil and filter change
is required can vary considerably.
Service information 3 224
A required service due is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre forseven seconds after switching on the
ignition.
If no service is required for the next
3000 km or more, no service
information appears in the display.
If service due is required within the
next 3000 km, the remaining distance or time duration is indicated for
several seconds. Simultaneously
symbol F lights up permamently as
reminder.
If service due is less than 1000 km,
F flashes and then lights up
permanently. Remaining distance or
time duration is indicated for several
seconds.
Overdued service is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre which indicates the overdued
distance. F flashes and then lights up
permanently until service is executed.
Reset of service interval After each service, the service
indicator must be reset to ensure
proper functionality. It is
recommended to seek the assistance
of a workshop.
If service is executed by yourself,
operate as following:
● switch off ignition
● press and hold button M or
