In the displayed character corresponding to the selected mode of the transfer case ("N?�, ?�L?� or ?�N?�).

Warning lights and indicator lights

The assembly dash car built a whole complex of warning lights and indicators, with which the driver receives important information about serviceability / malfunction of the main components and systems of the car. Arrangement of warning lights on the instrument panel shows the illustration The design of the instrument cluster. Another indicator lamp (settler filter supply system) is placed on the center console ahead of the gear lever AT.

Location settler filter warning lamp power supply system

The following offer information about the principle of operation of each of the available LEDs individually.

The list of members of the dash warning lights and indicator lights

Warning lights and indicator lights mounted in the instrument cluster dials meters (design of the instrument cluster).

- (Green) Indicator lights direction indicators / alarms

- (Yellow) The indicator lamp failure of anti-lock brakes (ABS)

- (Red) control lamp brake fluid level / failure brake / parking brake indicator cocking

- (Yellow) warning lamp traction control (4-ETS) / protivozanosnoy (ESP) / anti-lock braking (ABS) systems ("Adapt driving style to the road conditions!")

- (Yellow) Control lamp of refusals MIL / ?�Check up the engine"

- (Yellow) The indicator light activation system Speedtronic

- (Blue) Indicator light activation beam headlights

- (Yellow) The control lamp of preheat of the diesel engine

- (Red) indicator light 'Fasten seat belt'

- (Red) The indicator lamp of additional safety (SRS)

Indicator lights indicator / alarm

Decorated in the form of arrows lights are green and are used to control the proper functioning of the direction indicators. Direction indicator arrows coincides with the selected direction of the exchange rate of the vehicle. Indicators work in flashing mode with a frequency corresponding to the frequency of flashing turn indicators. Rapid blinking an indicator usually indicates a blown bulb of one of the pointers corresponding rotation - as soon as possible, replace burnt-out bulbs so as not to accidents on the roads.

Simultaneous flashing signs both turns usually accompanied by the inclusion of an alarm.

Control lamp ABS anti-lock braking system

This indicator light is used to monitor the correct functioning of the ABS, briefly activated when the ignition switch and extinguished after a few seconds after the engine starts. Refusal of a lamp of the trip, as well as its activation during movement testifies to infringement of serviceability of functioning of anti-lock brakes - the car should immediately drive away in the workshop of the company Mercedes-Benz for the diagnosis and perform the necessary regenerative repair.

Simultaneously with ABS disabled and the system 4-ETS and ESP), which should be supported by appropriate actuation of a control lamp (See below.).

Control lamp of brake fluid level / failure brake / parking brake indicator cocking

The warning lamp illuminates at raising the parking brake, reminding the driver to release it before the move. Movement with the cocked lay brake leads to rapid overheating and failure of the brakes on the rear wheels, as well as premature wear of the tire tread of the rear wheels, and in addition, may be an infringement of serviceability of functioning of the anti-lock braking (ABS).

If the warning light stays on after releasing the parking brake is activated or while driving, it usually indicates an excessive fall in the level of brake fluid, - one of the possible causes of the gradual decrease in the brake fluid level is normal wear and tear of the friction brake linings.

Short-term operation of a control lamp occurs also when the ignition (even when the parking brake is released).

Warning traction control lamp (4-ETS) / protivozanosnoy (ESP) / anti-lock braking (ABS) systems

The system 4-ETS is activated at speeds between 40 and 80 km / h when it reaches any of the wheels limit tire grip (eg, single-sided black ice). Proper wheel is braked at the same time to ensure reliable traction.

This warning lamp is activated briefly when the ignition and should go out immediately after the engine starts. Actuation of the warning lamp is accompanied by the forced shutdown protivozanosnoy (ESP) system (see. Sections Traction Control System (the ETS 4-), Electronic protivozanosnaya system (ESP)). Refusal of a lamp of the trip, as well as its activation during movement testifies to infringement of serviceability of functioning of system 4-ETS / ESP / ABS, - the car should immediately drive away in the workshop of the company Mercedes-Benz for the diagnosis and perform the necessary regenerative repair. Activation lamps in flashing mode while driving the car warns the driver that the wheels of the car are at the limit of adhesion to the road surface and the speed should be reduced to a safe level.

At high load on the brakes automatically short-term shutdown of the system 4-ETS in order to prevent overheating of the brakes - this trip is accompanied by the activation of a control lamp.

When towing the car with torn from the ground the rear wheels, as well as checking of serviceability of functioning of brakes on the stand the motor must be stopped, because otherwise the active inhibitory effect of the ESP system can result in failure of the rear brakes!

The control lamp of refusals MIL (?�Check up the engine?�)

This indicator will light briefly when the ignition is activated and extinguished after a few seconds after the engine starts. Refusal of a lamp of the trip, as well as its activation during movement testifies to infringement of serviceability of functioning of the engine management / emission control, - car must be immediately driven away on STO company Mercedes-Benz for the diagnosis and perform the necessary regenerative repair.

To turn off the warning lamp, activated after refilling the fuel tank is completely exhausted should be three or four times to repeat the procedure starting.

The indicator light activation system Speedtronic

This indicator is used to confirm activating the variable speed limit Tempostat (Speedtronic) (see. Section speed control (Tempostat / Speedtronic)).

The indicator light activation beam

This indicator is used to confirm the activation of main beam.

The control lamp of preheat of the diesel engine

The control lamp of preheat lights up when the ignition is switched and indicates the activation of system of preheat. Starting must take place no earlier than the control lamp turns off.

Indicator light "Fasten seat belt"

This indicator is an amber glow and a short (about 6 seconds) the ignition is activated, reminding the driver and passengers to fasten the seat belts.

The control lamp of additional safety (SRS)

This indicator lamp for about 4 seconds lights up when the ignition switch and extinguished immediately after the engine starts. When Lama stays on with the engine running (constant or flashing mode), this indicates a malfunction of components SRS. At a corresponding complete control of the operation of the lamp may be an indication of a fault in the contours of the side and head airbags or automatic emergency devices pretensioners.

The indicator lamp drier supply system

The indicator lamp is placed in front of the top cover of the center console of the car (see. Illustration Location settler filter warning lamp power supply system), briefly operate when the ignition and is intended to alert the driver to perform the procedure to remove moisture from the fuel. In case of refusal from the lamp off after the engine is started or triggered it while driving should be as soon as possible address on HUNDRED Mercedes-Benz.

Continuous operation of the car with a lighted lamp control dehumidifier can cause serious internal damage to the engine, paired with whom refurbishment under warranty do not apply!
