Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights34
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up
continuously, a fault exists in the electromechanical power steering.
• If the yellow warning light lights up, this indicates a partial failure of the
power steering and the steering forces can be greater.
• If the red warning light lights up, this indicates a complete failure of the
power steering and the steering assist has failed (significantly higher
steering forces).
If the red warning light lights up, three peeps sound as an additional
warning signal.
Further information ⇒ page 219, “Electromechanical power steering”.
WARNING
Contact your specialist garage if the power steering is defective.
Note
• If the yellow warning light goes out after starting the engine again
and a short drive, it is not necessary to visit a specialist garage.
• If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the yellow
warning light comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light
must go out after driving a short distance.
Control system for exhaust gases
The warning light comes on after the ignition has been switched on.
If the warning light does not go out after starting the engine or it lights up
or flashes when driving, a fault exists in an exhaust relevant component.
The engine management system selects an emergency programme
which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a
gentle style of driving.

EPC fault light (petrol engine)
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 garage by adopting a gentle style of driving.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Engine fault Workshop! (Engine fault workshop!)
Glow plug system (diesel engine)
The indicator light lights up for a cold engine when switching on the
igntion (pre-heat position) 2 ⇒ page 139. Start the engine just as soon as
the indicator light goes out.
The glow plug indicator light will come on for about 1 second if the engine
is at a normal operating temperature or if the outside temperature is
above +5°C. This means that you can start the engine right away.
There is a fault in the glow plug system if the indicator light does not
come on at all or lights up continuously. Contact a specialist garage as
soon as possible to obtain assistance.
