Troubleshooting
Fuel tank almost empty
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The reserve volume( red marking) is being consumed .
- Refuel at the next opportunity . Depending on equipment: when the indicator lamp lights up, the auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered supplementary heater switch off automatically
WARNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic, potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
- When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when driving up or down hills and inclines.
- The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if the engine “sputters” or
stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply. - Refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full in order to avoid breaking down due to lack of fuel.
NOTICE
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. Irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust system.
Fuel tank almost empty
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The natural gas fuel tank is almost empty
- Refuel with natural gas at the next opportunity
Vehicle in natural gas mode
The indicator lamp lights up green. The vehicle is operating in natural gas mode. The green indicator lamp will go out when the natural gas supply has been used up.
- Refuel with natural gas at the next opportunity.
Things to note for vehicles with natural gas engine
If the vehicle is left parked for an extended period directly after refuelling, it is possible that the needle of the natural gas fuel gauge will not show exactly the same fuel level as immediately after refuelling when the vehicle is started again. This does not indicate a leak in the system, but is a technically related reduction in pressure in the natural gas fuel tanks after a cooling phase directly after refuelling.
On vehicles with natural gas engine, the fuel gauge of the petrol fuel tank may display the correct filling quantity only after a delay, depending on the amount of fuel that has been filled into the tank.
Digital coolant temperature display
Depending on equipment, the coolant temperature can be displayed in the secondary displays in the digital instrument cluster .
If the indicator lamp flashes, the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low .
Analogue coolant temperature display
Fig. 1 Coolant temperature display in the analogue instrument cluster (schematic diagram).
- Cold range. The engine has not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high engine revs and heavy engine loads until the engine is warm.
- Normal range.
- Warning range. The temperature may also rise to the hot area when the engine is working hard, especially at high ambient temperatures.
If the flashes, the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low .
Driving data display
The multifunction display shows travel and fuel consumption data. There are several options available for showing driving data in the secondary display area (→ Digital instrument cluster) . Different driving data can be selected depending on the vehicle equipment level. The displayed driving data depends on the current driving behaviour, the vehicle condition, e.g. particulate filter regeneration, and the current driving situation, e.g. urban traffic. The driving data is calculated as an average value over stretches of varying length. Consequently, the value currently displayed may differ from the actual average value.

The service takes place at predefined intervals for vehicles with a fixed oil change service interval. The service intervals are calculated on an individual basis for vehicles with flexible oil change service interval. An oil change service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the vehicle
is used and the driver’s personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If an oil change service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched on. The mileage or time shown corresponds to the maximum mileage or time that can still be driven before the next service.
Service event
