cle in front and the stored speed light up. Rev counter

engine when the red band is reached. Outside temperature display
You should pay special attention to road condi-
tions when temperatures are around freezing
point.
Bear in mind that the outside temperature dis-
play indicates the measured air temperature
and not the road surface temperature.
The outside temperature display is in the multi-
function display (Y page 222).
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay. Coolant temperature gauge

WARNING
If you open the bonnet while the engine is
overheating or while there is a fire in the
engine compartment, you could come into
contact with hot gases or other leaking ser-
vice products. There is a danger of injury.
Allow an overheating engine to cool down
before opening the bonnet. If there is a fire in the engine compartment, leave the bonnet
closed and notify the fire brigade.
The coolant temperature display is shown in the lower section of the rev counter (Y page 35).
At high outside temperatures and when driving
in mountainous terrain, the coolant temperature
may rise to the end of the scale.
Under normal operating conditions and with the specified coolant level, the display may rise to
120 †. Operating the on-board computer

General notes The Head-up Display projects information from
the navigation system and the driver assistance
systems above the dashboard into the driver's
field of vision. This way, the Head-up Display
enables drivers to see information without hav-
ing to take their eyes off the road.
A requirement for the display of the content is
that the following functions are available in the
vehicle and are switched on:
R Cruise control
R SPEEDTRONIC
R DISTRONIC PLUS
R Traffic Sign Assist
R Navigation
Important safety notes The head-up display is only an aid and is not a
substitute for attentive driving.
Speed limits and overtaking restrictions are not
always correctly displayed. Traffic signs always
have priority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
The visibility of the head-up display is influenced by the following conditions:
R the driver's seat position
R the positioning of the display image
R the general light conditions R
sunglasses with polarisation filters
R wet road surfaces
R blocking of sunlight by objects on the display
cover
In the event of extreme sunlight, sections of the
display may fade. This can be reversed by
switching the head-up display off and on again.
i Vehicles with the head-up display are equip-
ped with a special windscreen. Should repairs
be necessary, have the windscreen replaced
at a qualified specialist workshop.
