When the lights are switched on, the instrument cluster is illuminated.
Engine revolutions counterThe start of the red zone in the revolutions counter fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all ge ars for an engine which has been run in and operating at a normal temperature. Before
reaching this zone shift up into the next
higher gear.
One should shift to a lower gear at the late st when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”.
Avoid high engine speeds wh en running-in the vehicle page 128.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge fig. 18 operates only when the ignition is
switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges:

Technical Data
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 temper
ature as soon as the pointer moves into
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 28, “Coolant temperature/coolant level ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes page 148, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co mponents 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 temper atures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge page 16, 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 reaches 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.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres
per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle speed goes
below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Counter 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”.

Bottom (trip) counter for distance driven
The bottom counter indicates the distance which you have driven since it was last reset
- in steps of 100 m or 1/10 of a mile. The bo ttom counter can be reset by pressing the
reset button of the trip counter page 17, fig. 19 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter indicates the total distance driven in kilometres or miles which the
vehicle has been driven.
Fa u l t d i s p l a y
dEF appears permanently in the trip counter display 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
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for safety
reasons!Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ slightly on the
display. Service Interval Display
If the due date for the service is reached, it is displayed
1):
in the display of the trip counter: Service 1 500 km
in the information display: SERVICE in 1500 km
The kilometre readout decreases in steps of 100°km.
If the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears as a flashing
display:
in the display of the trip counter:
Service
in the information display: SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds af ter switching on the ignition. The trip
counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button for the trip counter (for more
than 0.5 second).
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 disp lay 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
 page 16, fig. 18 :

Technical Data

Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.

Switch the ignition on, release the reset button. The text Service or SERVICE NOW
appears in the display.

Turn the button for setting the clock to the right - as a result of this the display is
reset.Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise
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 inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service In terval 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.
Digital clockA clock-set button is installed on the bottom left beside the speedometer for
adjusting the clock page 16, fig. 18.Set hours– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes– Turn the reset button to the right.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons but only when
the vehicle is stationary!Multi-functional indica tor (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in th e display of the revolutions counter or in
the information display depending on th e equipment fitted to your vehicle page 22,
fig. 22 .
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays a ppear in the Imperial system of measures.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories.
