Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions

The engine is not

running smoothly and

is misfiring.

There is a malfunction in the engine electronics or a mechanical

component of the engine management system.

Only depress the accelerator pedal slightly.

Have the cause rectified immediately at a qualified specialist

workshop.

Otherwise, non-combusted fuel may get into the catalytic

converter and damage it.

The coolant

temperature gauge

shows a value above

248 ‡(120 †).

The coolant level is too low. The coolant is too hot and the engine

is no longer being cooled sufficiently.

Stop as soon as possible and allow the engine and the coolant

to cool down.

Check the coolant level (Y page 450). Observe the warning

notes as you do so and add coolant if necessary.

Important safety notes

Warning

It is dangerous to shift AUTOTRONIC out of

parking position P or neutral position N if the

engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your

foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the

vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in

reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle

and hit someone or something. Only shift into

gear when the engine is idling normally and

when your right foot is firmly on the brake

pedal.

Warning!

Keep in mind that turning off the engine alone

only will shift AUTOTRONIC into neutral

position N automatically.

Always shift AUTOTRONIC into park position

P before turning off the engine.

Otherwise the vehicle could roll away which

could result in an accident and/or serious

personal injury.

Warning!

HYBRID vehicles: It is imperative that you read

the HYBRID Supplemental Operating

Instructions included in your vehicle literature

portfolio. You may otherwise not receive all

necessary safety information and warning for

the operation of your vehicle.
