cates which brake light has failed (left or right).

the speed displayed in the driver information system. Please ensure that
the engine speed does not exceed the speed shown (for example, when

 level every time you fill up with fuel ⇒ p age 224.

in 4th or 5th gear (automatic gearbox: S gear range) at a speed of 60 km/h,
with the engine running at approximately 2000 rpm. The increase in temper-
ature will burn off any soot in the filter. When cleaning is successful, the
symbol switches off.

filter , emission control system fault  and heaters ), take the vehicle
to a qualified workshop to repair the fault.
