lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
The center and side air vents are adjustable.
The air vents can also be adjusted on vehicles
with rear-compartment air conditioning.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
Rkeep the air inlet between the windshield and
the hood free of blockages, such as ice, snow
or leaves.
Rnever cover the vents or the ventilation grilles

On vehicles with steering wheel buttons, the
light sensor in the instrument cluster automati-
cally controls the brightness of the displaylight-
ing.
While the lights are on, the brightness is depend-
ent upon the brightness of the ambient light.
You can also adjust the brightness of the instru-
ment lighting and the displayl ighting
Rby pressing thefand gbuttons on the
instrument cluster on vehicles without steer-
ing wheel buttons (not in the Settings
menu)
Rby turning control:on vehicles with steer-
ing wheel buttons.
Speedometer
If you change the wheel size on your vehicle,
make sure it is assigned to the correct wheel
size category (
Ypage 267). If you change wheel
size category without recoding the control unit,
the speedometer indication will be inaccurate.
The current vehicle speed may then be higher
than the speed displayed in the speedometer.
The speed can also be shown in the displayi n
the form of adigital speedometer:
Ron vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(Ypage 172)

(Ypage 178)
iIn some countries, awarning sounds and/or

cle reaches the maximum legally permissible
speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph (120 km/h).
Tachometer
!
Do not drive in the overrevving range, as this
could damage the engine.
HEnvironmental note
Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and harms the environment as
ar esult of increased emissions.
The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted when the red band is reached.
Outside temperatured isplay
You should pay special attention to road condi-
tions when temperatures are around freezing
point.
Please bear in mind that the outside tempera-
ture displayshows the air temperature meas-
ured and not the road temperature.
The displays hows the outside temperature in
the header:

(Ypage 176).
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after ashort delay.
Coolant temperatureg auge
GWARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is afire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is arisk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is afire in the
engine compartment,k eep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
On vehicles without steering wheel buttons, you
can have the coolant temperature shown in the
display(
Ypage 172).
On vehicles with steering wheel buttons, an ana-
log coolant temperature gage is located in the
tachometer in the instrument cluster
(
Ypage 37).
Under normal operating conditions and with the
specified coolant level, the gage may rise to
248 ‡(120† ).
