Troubleshooting
Steering fault
The warning lamp lights up red.
There is a fault in the power steering.
●
Stop driving! Seek specialist assistance.
●
Do not allow the vehicle to be towed on its
own wheels.
Steering fault
The control lamp lights up or ashes yellow.
The steering is stier or reacts more sensitively
than usual.
The control lamp lights up and remains lit:
●
Restart the engine and drive slowly for a
short distance. Contact a specialist workshop
if the control lamp remains on.
●
OR: the 12-volt battery was disconnected
and reconnected. Drive slowly for a short dis-
tance.
The control lamp ashes:
●
Turn the steering wheel slightly from one
side to the other.
●
Turn o the ignition and turn it on again.
●
Consider the warnings shown on the instru-
ment cluster display.
●
If the control lamp continues ashing after
the ignition has been switched on, do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance.
Drive Proles
Introduction
The driver can use the drive proles to adapt
various features of the vehicle's systems to the
current driving situation, the desired driving
comfort and an economical driving style. Some
of the systems that can be adapted are the
suspension, steering, engine and air condition-
ing.
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, vari-
ous drive proles can be selected. The degree
of inuence of the vehicle's systems on the dif-
ferent drive proles depends on the vehicle’s
equipment.
Engine
Depending on the prole selected, the engine
responds more quickly or smoothly to the ac-
celerator being pressed.
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
behaviour of the transmission is modied,
whenever a gear is changed up and down, and
at other times. The idle speed and gear posi-
tion can also be changed according to the se-
lected prole.
The Inertia Mode function can also be
switched on by selecting the Comfort prole,
or from the Individual prole by putting the
engine into ECO mode. This allows fuel con-
sumption to be reduced. Other factors can
cause it to switch on ›››page181.
With manual transmission, the
ECO prole
changes the gear change recommendations to
facilitate more eicient driving.
Engine sound
Depending on the equipment and the selec-
ted prole, it modies the acoustic sensation
in the vehicle's interior and the outside sound
levels. It acts on several components of the
vehicle to strengthen or weaken the engine
and intake noise, as well as the noise from the
exhaust system. The conguration is preset for
each prole and can be modied in the Indi-
vidual prole.
Adaptive chassis control (DCC)
The DCC continuously adapts the damping of
the suspension system to the characteristics
of the road surface and the driving situation
(speed, acceleration and steering wheel angle)
according to the selected driving prole. The
vehicle's dynamic behaviour is also adapted to
improve grip on curves and turning capacity.
Within the Individual prole you can also ad-
just the DCC level in a customised manner. In
the event of a fault in the DCC, the following
message is displayed on the instrument cluster
display> Fault: damping adjustment.
