CCaauuttiioonn
Additional lights in front of the cooling air intake interfere with the flow of
cooling air. At high ambient temperatures and full throttle there isa danger
that the engine will then overheat.
Fuel gauge
The gauge starts to work when the ignition is switched on. The
warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional check
when the ignition is switched on.
The tank holds about 45 litres.
When the needle moves to the red reserve zone, warning light
d
lights up at the same time that an acoustic warning signal is
produced; this means that approximately 7 litres of fuel remain.
Speedometer
The speedometer is fitted with a digital mileage clock and a trip
mileage clock, as well as a service interval indicator*.
During the running in period you must note the instructions in the
chapter "The first 1,500 km and afterwards".
DDiiggiittaall ddiissppllaayy iinn tthhee iinnssttrruummeenntt ppaanneell
Digital clock*
The digital clock is set by turning a knob that is on the bottom right
next to the speedometer.
• The hours are set by turning the button anti-clockwise until it
stops. By turning the knob once, you move forward one hour. By
turning and holding the knob, the hours move forward
continuously.
• The minutes are set by turning the button clockwise until it stops.
By turning the knob once, you move forward one minute. By
turning and holding the knob, the minutes move forward
continuously.
The knob can be used to set the clock to the exact second.
• Turn the knob to the right until the time is set to exactly one
minute before the required time.
• Turn the button to the right just as the seconds indicator of an
accurately set clock shows one full minute.
Turning the button to the left sets the clock to the required arrow.

– the coolant pump is no
longer being driven. The belt must be checked/ renewed.
If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not
broken or loose, you can generally wait to have this checked at the
next scheduled service.
As the battery will continue to discharge, all electrical consumers
which are not absolutely necessary should be switched off.
Parking light/dipped beam
Dipped beam, parking or side light pilot light (green). Works with
the ignition off.
Power steering*
The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional

NNoottee
When towing the car with the engine shut down or in case of a breakdown
in the servo-steering mechanism, the power steering remains out of order.
Nonetheless, the vehicle continues to be steerable even though the effort to
handle the steering wheel is bigger.
Accelerator pedal faults (EPC)*
If there is a fault in the accelerator pedal working, a warning lamp
will go on. Have the fault repaired at a Technical Service Centre.
Glowplugs
(Diesel engines only)
When the engine is
ccoolldd
the warning lamp comes on when key is
turned to Drive position (ignition on).
If the warning lamp does not come on, there is a defect in the glow
plug system – call in expert assistance.
When the lamp goes out, start the engine immediately
⇒
"Starting
the engine" chapter.
When the engine is
wwaarrmm
the glow plug lamp does not come on –
the engine can be started straight away.
NNoottee
If a fault occurs in the diesel engine management system, it will indicated
by a flashing warning lamp. In this case, have the engine checked
immediately by a Technical Service Centre.
Indicators
The pilot light flashes at the same time as the indicator. If a turn
signal fails, the warning lamp flashes twice as fast. (Not when
towing a trailer).
For more information
⇒
"Flashers and high beam lever" chapter.
Coolant temperature/level*
The warning lamp* lights up for a few seconds as a functional
check when ignition is switched on.
If the lamp does not go out afterwards or lights up or flashes when
driving, either the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant
level too low. An acoustic signal will sound 3 times as an
additional warning:
SSttoopp,, sswwiittcchh eennggiinnee ooffff
and check level. Add coolant if necessary.

Main beam
The warning lamp comes on when main beam is on or when the
headlight flasher is used.
Fuel level*
The warning lamp comes on when there are about 7 litres left in
the tank. The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a
functional check when the ignition is switched on.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)*
A warning lamp system monitors the ABS.
The warning lamp should light up for a few seconds when the
ignition is switched on. It goes out again after the system has run
through an automatic test sequence.
There is a fault in the ABS if:
•
The ABS warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is
switched on.
•
The warning lamp does not go out again after a few seconds.
•
The warning lamp lights up when the vehicle is moving.
The vehicle can still be braked in the normal way (except that the
ABS control function is out of action). Take the vehicle to the
Authorised Technical Service as soon as possible. For more
information
⇒
pages 133 to 136.
If a fault occurs in the ABS, the ESP warning lamp will also light
up*.
Brakes
The warning lamp comes on when the brake fluid level is too low.
The ignition must be switched on.
In vehicles with the Anti-locking Brake System (ABS), the warning
lamp will light up for a few seconds after switching the ignition on
or starting the engine. If the ABS system fails, the brake system
warning lamp may light up together with the ABS warning lamp.

taken off.
Air Bag system*
When the ignition is turned on, the warning light will remain lit for
a few seconds.
If the warning light flashes for about 12 seconds following
engagement of the ignition, this means that at least one Air Bag
has been disconnected in a Technical Service

Seat belt warning lamp*
The warning lamp lights up (only for certain countries) for about 6
seconds after ignition as a reminder to fasten your safety belt.
If the seat belt is not fastened, in some countries an acoustic
signal will sound after switching on the ignition which will stop
after approximately 6 seconds or when the seat belt is fastened.
NNoottee
Please refer to chapter “Seat belts”.
Engine diagnosis*
This pilot light comes on when the ignition is switched on as a test
and switches off after a few seconds.
In case of a failure in the engine’s electrical system, the warning
lamp will light up again. If this occurs, go to the nearest Technical
Service Centre.
Traction Control System (TCS)*
The traction control system prevents the drive wheels from
spinning when the car is accelerating.
The warning lamp lights up when the ignition is switched on and
should turn off after a few seconds.
When the TCS is operating while driving, the warning lamp flashes.
If the system is deactivated or if there is any fault in the same, the
warning lamp will remain lit.

It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
TCS operates in conjunction with the ABS. For more information
⇒
“Brakes”.
Electronic stabilisation program (ESP)*
This program includes the ABS, EDL and TCS.
The warning light provides information on the electronic
stabilisation programme and has the following functions:
• It lights up when the ignition is switched on and should go out
again after a few seconds.
• It flashes when the ESP is activated when driving.
• It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
• It will light up continuously if the ESP is switched off.
• It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the
ESP operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the ESP warning lamp lights up and stays on immediately after
the engine is started, this may mean that the control system has
temporarily switched off the ESP. In this case the ESP can be
reactivated by switching the ignition off and then on again. If the
warning lamp goes out, this means the system is fully functional.
EElleeccttrroonniicc ddiiffffeerreennttiiaall lloocckk ((EEDDLL)) ffaauulltt
EDL operates along with the ABS in vehicles equipped with an Electronic
Stabilisation Program (ESP*).
A malfunction in the EDL is indicated by the ABS warning lamp. Take the
vehicle to the Technical Service as soon as possible. For more information
on the EDL
⇒
page 135.
Electronic immobiliser*
When switching the ignition on, the data from the vehicle key is
automatically processed. This procedure is confirmed by the
warning lamp lighting up briefly.
If a non-authorised key is used, the warning lamp will flash
permanently. The ignition will not work
⇒
"Keys with remote
control" chapter.
Engine oil pressure/level*
The warning lamp lights up for a few seconds as a functional check
when ignition is switched on.
If the warning lamp is red or yellow or flashes it indicates that the
engine oil pressure or level is too low. This warning lamp will also
light up if there is a defect in the oil level indicator.

If the warning lamp lights up or flashes red while driving an acoustic signal
will sound three times at engine speeds above 1500 rpm. Stop and switch
engine off: check oil level and add oil, if necessary

If the oil level indicator is defective an acoustic signal will sound and the
warning lamp will flash several times.
From the moment of the defect to the check-up of the engine the oil level
needs to be checked regularly, preferably when filling the tank.
Trailer indicators*
The warning lamp* flashes when turn signals are switched on
when towing a trailer.
If a turn signal fails on the trailer or vehicle, the warning lamp does
not flash.
