Engine revolutions counterThe start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run
in and operating at a normal temperature. Shift into the next higher gear or change
into the selector lever position D of the automatic gearbox before reaching this
zone.
One should shift to a lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”.

Technical Data During the driving time and always before the engine has reached its operating
temperature, generally avoid high engine speeds ⇒page 163.
Caution
The needle of the revolutions counter must on no account move into the red zone
of the scale - risk of engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to reduce the fuel consumption, mini-
mises operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer
life and reliability of the engine.Coolant temperature gauge*The coolant temperature gauge ⇒page 18, fig. 18 operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following
notes regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale* it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer has
reached the mid-range of the scale*. The pointer may also move further to the right
at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol
in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol
in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Observe the guidelines
⇒page 32, “Coolant temperature/coolant level ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 185, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gauge*The fuel gauge ⇒page 18, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer drops to the reserve marking
. There are now
about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you, that
you must refuel.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can result in
poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and
damage the catalytic converter.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 20Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
The kilometer counter for distance driven is shown in the display when the ignition
is switched off. The trip counter for distance driven is shown on the display after
switching on the ignition. You can then switch over to the counter display with the
reset button.
Reset button
By briefly pressing the reset button ⇒page 18, fig. 18 you can switch over from
the trip counter to the kilometer counter. In order to recognise which counter for
the distance driven is shown on the display at that moment, trip appears on the trip
counter above the information of the driven route ⇒fig. 19.
If you hold the reset button pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter is set
back to zero.
If you hold the reset button pressed for longer than 3 seconds, a display
regarding the kilometers still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval (for this the trip counter is not set back) appears.
Fa ult di spl ay
dEF appears permanently in the display field of the counter for distance driven if
there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible
by a specialist workshop.Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome-
tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
This function is only valid for some countries.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons.
Note
On vehicles with information display both counters are shown simultaneously in
the display.Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ slightly on
the display.

Technical Data Service Interval Display
A key symbol
appears in the counter display for distance driven about 30 days
before reaching the due date for the service ⇒page 20, fig. 20. The remaining
distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key symbol and
then the remaining number of days to the due date for the service inspection.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE IN ... KM OR ... DAYS
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km. or days
until the service due date is reached.
The following text appears as a flashing key symbol
and a text as soon as the
due date for the service is reached.
INSP
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds after switching on the ignition. The trip
counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button for the trip counter (for
more than 1 second).
Display regarding the distance and days until the following service interval
You can have the distance still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval displayed at any time as follows:
•
Press reset button for more than 3 seconds.
A key symbol
is displayed on the display of the counter for the distance driven.
The remaining distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key
symbol and then the remaining number of days to the due date for the service
inspection.
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least
a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
•
resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;
•
makes an entry in the Service schedule;
•
affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
The Service Interval Display can also be reset with the reset button as follows:
•
Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.
•
Switch the ignition on, release the reset button and turn the reset button to the
right. The service interval display is reset.Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•
Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.
•
information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.
•
it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instrument cluster
is installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.
•
The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by a specialist garage which is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.
•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.

Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 23, fig. 22.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other
hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.

Technical Data Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of indvidual jour-
neys up to a total of 100 hours driving or 10 000 kilometres driven. The memory is
deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.Using the systemThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 22.
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows to select the
desired memory.Selecting the functions
– P re s s t h e ro c ke r s w it c h u p o r do w n . I n t h i s w a y, c a l l u p i n s e q u e n c e
the individual functions of the multi-functional indicator.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.
The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by button :•
average fuel consumption;
•
distance driven;
•
average speed;
•
Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature indicator ⇒page 24,
fig. 23 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds. The snoke flake symbol draws
the attention of the driver to possible black ice formation. The display swicthes back
after 10 seconds to the last selected function.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 24Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
The correct value will be indicated with a delay of 5 minutes. If the vehicle is
stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the temperature indicated may be slightly
higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4°C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature indicator ⇒fig. 23 and a
warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at temperatures around +4°C - warning,
drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data (guidance
to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for vehicles which
have a navigation and information display).
RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance
you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the tank for
the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery) before
a new readout for the range is displayed.Current fuel consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed.Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒page 22. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.

you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
button ⇒page 23, fig. 22. A zero appears in the display for the first 300 m you
drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.

Information display*IntroductionThe information display provides you with information in a convenient way
concerning the current operating state of your vehicle. The information system
also provides you with data (depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle)
relating to the radio, multi-functional indicator and navigation system.
Certain functions and operating conditions are always being checked on the
vehicle when the ignition is switched on and also while driving.
Functional faults, if required repair work and other information are indicated by red
symbols ⇒page 27 and yellow symbols ⇒page 28.
Lighting up of these symbols is combined with an acoustic warning signal.
