Instruments and warning/indicator lamps18
Turn signals
Depending on which turn signal is operated, either the left or
right indicator lamp flashes. Both indicator lamps will flash when
the hazard warning lights are switched on.
If one turn signal should fail, the indicator lamp will start flashing
twice as fast.
This does not apply when towing a caravan or trailer. The indicator
lamp will stop flashing if one of the turn signals on the vehicle or the
caravan/trailer should fail. For further information on the turn
signals ⇒ page 62.
Applies to vehicles: with towing bracket
Trailer turn signals
The indicator lamp flashes when the turn signals are
operated while towing a caravan or trailer.
The indicator lamp flashes when the turn signals are operated,
provided a caravan or trailer is correctly attached and connected to
the vehicle.
The indicator lamp will not flash if one of the turn signals on the
trailer fails.
Seat belt warning lamp
The warning lamp acts as a reminder to fasten the seat
belts.
After switching on the ignition, the warning lamp will remain lit
until the driver and front passenger (if applicable) have fastened
their seat belts. When the vehicle has gathered speed you will also
hear a warning chime.

converter.
