Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights38
Engine oil level*
Warning light lights up
If the warning light lights up, the quantity of oil in the engine is probably
too low. Check as soon as possible the oil level or top up page 251 with
engine oil.
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Check oil level!
The warning light will go out if the bonnet is left open for more than 30
seconds. If no engine oil has been replenished, the warning light will come
on again after driving about 100 km.
Warning light flashes
A fault on the engine oil level sensor is indicated additionally by an audible
signal and the warning light coming on several times after the ignition has
been switched on.
In this case have the engine inspected without delay by a specialist
garage.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Oil sensor workshop!
Tyre inflation pressure*
The warning light lights up, if there is a substantial drop in inflation
pressure in one of the tyres. Reduce the speed and check or correct as
soon as possible the inflation pressure in the tyres page 264.
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
If the warning light flashes, there is a system fault. Visit the nearest
specialist garage and have the fault rectified.
Further information about tyre pressure-control system page 220.
WARNING
When the warning light lights up, immediately reduce the
speed and avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres. Please
stop the vehicle without delay at the nearest possible stop and
inspect the tyres and their inflation pressures.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry
or unpaved roads) the warning light can be delayed or does not
light up at all.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected, the warning light comes on after
switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a
short distance.

If the warning light lights up, operate the brake pedal. This is neces-
sary, in order to be able to move the selector lever out of the position P or
N.
