16 Instruments and warning lights
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the con-
ditions prevailing to top up with oil. Keep the engine switched off and obtain pro-
fessional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe en-
gine damage.
Do not drive any further if the warning light flashes even if the oil is at the correct
level. Do not run the engine not at idling speed either. Contact a specialist garage
to obtain assistance.
WARNING
If you must stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe distance
from traffic, switch off the engine, and switch on the hazard warning light sys-
tem ⇒ p age 31, Switches for the hazard warning light system .
CAUTION
The red oil pressure light is not an oil level indicator! One should therefore

check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably after every refuelling stop.
EPC fault light

The (Electronic Power Control) warning light comes on for a few seconds when

the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light does not go out or lights up after starting the engine, a

fault exists in the engine control. The engine management system selects an
emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist ga-
rage by adopting a gentle style of driving.
Coolant temperature/coolant level
The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.

The coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too low if the warning
light does not go out or flashes while driving.

An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
In this case stop and switch the engine off and check the coolant level; top up
the coolant as necessary.

Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the con-
ditions prevailing to top up with coolant. Keep the engine switched off and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe
engine damage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan. Check the fuse for the radia-
tor fan, replace it if necessary ⇒ p age 137.
Do not continue driving if the warning light does not go off although the fluid is
at the correct level and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order. Contact a spe-
cialist garage to obtain assistance.
Please refer to the following guidelines ⇒ p age 111.
WARNING
● If you must stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
tance from traffic, switch off the engine, and switch on the hazard warning
light system ⇒ p age 31.

● Take care when opening the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot,
the cooling system is pressurized - risk of scalding! It is best to allow the en-
gine to cool down before removing the cap.
● Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
matically even if the ignition is off.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.


When the ESP helps to stabilise the vehicle, the warning light
strument cluster.
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the ESP system.
The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP

system can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESP system can
be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light
goes out, the ESP system is fully functional again.
