@) Tips
Some the equipment listed here is only instal-
led in certain models or is available as an op-
tion.
Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions. Some warning and indicator lights
turn on when you switch the ignition on and must
turn off when the drive system is switched on or
while driving.
With some indicator lights, messages may ap-
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica-
tor lights and messages may be covered by other
displays. To show them again, select the second
tab for messages with the multifunction steering
wheel > page 72.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.
OMe ile Lins
If the A or A indicator light turns on, check the
message in the instrument cluster.
COAT
The following indicator lights may be available,
depending on the vehicle equipment:
Instrument cluster
At temperatures below 41 °F (+5 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis-
play > A.
ZA WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F (+5 °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.
Fuel level
The display @ > page 10, fig. 3 only works when
the ignition is switched on. When the display has
reached the reserve mark, a red LED turns on and
the iy indicator light turns on > page 198.
For the tank capacity in your vehicle, refer to the
Technical Data > page 264.
@) Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp-
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires. Uncom-
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys-
tem. This can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.

Stopping the engine
> Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
> Press the [START ENGINE STOP] button.
Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To stop the engine, press the
START ENGINE STOP] button twice in a row or
press and hold it one time.
Z\ WARNING
— Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. Switching it
off before the vehicle has stopped may im-
pair the function of the brake booster and
power steering. You may need to use more
force when braking or steering. Because you
cannot brake and steer as you usually would,
this could lead to accidents and serious inju-
ries.
— If you leave the vehicle, switch the ignition
off and take the vehicle key with you. If you
do not do this, the engine could be started
and electrical equipment such as the power
windows could be activated. This can lead to
serious injuries.
— For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll unintentionally.
@) Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for an
extended period of time, heat builds up in the
engine compartment after the engine is
switched off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine. For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it off.
@) Tips
For up to 10 minutes after stopping the en-
gine, the radiator fan may turn on again auto-
matically or it may continue to run, even if the
ignition is switched off.
