Display messages
Introduction

Display messages with graphic symbols are simplified in the Operator's Manual and may differ

from the symbols in the display. The display shows high-priority messages in red. For certain

display messages a warning tone also sounds.

Please respond in accordance with the display messages and follow the additional notes in this

Operator's Manual.

You can use the a button on the multifunction steering wheel to hide low-priority mes-

sages. The display messages are stored in the message memory and can be called up as for as

long as the ignition remains switched on (

Y

page 113). When the ignition is turned off, the

message memory is deleted and no display messages are stored. The cause of a display message

should be remedied as soon as possible.

High-priority display messages cannot be hidden. The multifunction display shows these

messages continuously until the causes for the messages have been remedied.

Engine

The coolant temperature has exceeded 230 ‡ (110 †). The airflow to

the engine radiator may be blocked or the coolant level may be too

low.

G

WARNING

The engine is not being cooled sufficiently and may be damaged.

Do not drive when your engine is overheated. This can cause some

fluids which may have leaked into the engine compartment to catch

fire.

Steam from an overheated engine can cause serious burns, which

can occur just by opening the engine compartment cover.

There is a risk of injury.

X

Secure the vehicle against rolling away (

X

Leave the vehicle and keep a safe distance from the vehicle until

the engine has cooled down.

X

Check the coolant level and top up the coolant. Observe the notes

as you do so (

Y

page 210).

X

If you need to add coolant more often than usual, have the engine

coolant system checked.

X

Make sure that the air supply to the engine radiator is not

blocked, e.g. by snow, slush or ice.

X

Do not start the engine again until the coolant temperature is

below 230 ‡ (110 †). Otherwise, the engine could be damaged.
Avoid subjecting the engine to heavy loads, e.g. driving in
