The Active Distance Assist may fail sporadically in the above-mentioned vehicle type. This fault pattern mainly occurs in wet conditions. The entries C163AFA and C163AFB, radar sensor dirty or defective, can be stored in the error memory.

On the vehicle mentioned above, buzzing noises can be heard from the engine compartment when the air-conditioning system is switched off. These occur especially when the engine is idling.

LEDs are currently in the process of replacing classic bulbs in modern vehicles. They not only provide high luminous efficiency and increased safety, but also more design freedom and a great level of savings potential. On this page, those interested in technology can quench their thirst for knowledge regarding the basics of LED technology in vehicles.

We recommend the following procedure when replacing bulbs:

• Switch off the lighting and ignition.
• Remove the key and keep it in a safe place.
• Secure vehicle against rolling away. Apply the handbrake

On vehicles with Emergency Brake Assist, the error message mentioned above may suddenly appear in the instrument panel in German or English (automatic braking system fault). The message then usually appears at low speed or when the vehicle is stopped.

Starting the engine requires several attempts or is not possible at all. Furthermore, the engine may not run smoothly, there may be a lack of engine power or the engine may switch off during operation.

The lambda sensor determines the remaining oxygen content in the exhaust emission, and provides the engine control with an electric signal to control the air-fuel ratio. Scroll through this page and find out about the variants, how they work, test methods, and important information on the correct replacement of lambda sensors.

The noise may occur when manoeuvring the vehicle. The cause was diagnosed as unwanted friction between the front suspension strut and the shock absorber bump stop.

If the engine-check lamp lights up on the vehicles mentioned above and the error code P0603 is stored in the error memory, there are various possible cause. As a first measure, all system-relevant electrical components, including the power supply, electrical connections and ground points should be checked.

In order to remedy the problem, the error memory of the air-conditioning/heating control unit should be read out. If the error code refers to a mechanical error (e.g. B10BE07), a defect of the blower motor could well be the cause.

The pump generates the hydraulic pressure required by the power steering system to make the vehicle easier and more comfortable to steer during driving. When the engine is running and the steering wheel is in the "straight ahead" position, the pump constantly conveys the hydraulic oil through the steering and back again into the expansion tank.
