Information message
WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and
serious injury.
Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.
A broken-down vehicle poses a high accident risk, for you, your passengers and for other road users. If the situation requires, switch on the
hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle as a warning to other road users.
Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any
inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.
NOTICE
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle being damaged.
Different instrument clusters are available, which means that the versions and displays may vary. In displays without warning or
information texts, faults are indicated exclusively by indicator lamps.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some settings and displays may also appear in the infotainment system.
If several warnings are present, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The symbols will continue to appear until
the faults are rectified.
If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not be possible to adjust some settings as
described, or the information display may appear differently. If this is the case, take the vehicle to a qualified workshop to have the malfunctions
rectified.
