92Instruments and controlsTachometer
Displays the engine speed.
Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.
Caution
If the needle is in the yellow
warning zone, the maximum
permitted engine speed is
exceeded. Engine at risk.
Fuel gauge
Displays fuel level in the tank.
The arrow indicates the vehicle side
where the fuel filler flap is located.
Control indicator Y also illuminates in
instrument cluster 3 94 when fuel
level is low (range of approx. 50 km):
refuel immediately 3 160.
Never run the tank dry.
Diesel fuel system, bleeding 3 173.
Note
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
five litres) to ensure accurate
readings.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
AdBlue level indicator
The current AdBlue percentage
remaining can be shown in the Driver
Information Centre 3 102.

Instruments and controls93
Press button on end of wiper lever
repeatedly until the 'AdBlue
percentage remaining' menu is
displayed.
Level warnings
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning will be displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 102. Additionally, control
indicator Y 3 100 illuminates
continuously together with a warning
chime.
Refill the AdBlue tank as soon as
possible.
AdBlue 3 141.
Fuel economy gauge
Depending on version, the fuel
economy gauge (or 'driving style
indicator') provides an instantaneous
calculation of fuel efficiency based on
current driving style.
The gauge uses colours to indicate
current fuel efficiency:
Green:best fuel economy is being achievedYellow:driving style too
aggressiveOrange:least efficient fuel
economyThe fuel economy gauge is enabled
by default.
Depending on version, the fuel
economy gauge (or 'driving style
indicator') can be disabled via the
Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment manual for further
information.
Service display When the ignition is switched on, theremaining distance before the next
service is due may be shown briefly in the Driver Information Centre. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
The 'distance before service' display
can also be shown by pressing button on end of wiper lever for approx.
five seconds.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1500 km or one month, a message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.

Depending on vehicle, the following
functions can be selected by pressing button repeatedly on end of wiper
lever:
● fuel used
● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● range
● distance travelled
● average speed
● AdBlue percentage remaining 3 141
● distance before service 3 93
● clock 3 88
● outside temperature 3 87
● cruise control and speed limiter stored speed 3 152
● fuel economy rating (ecoScoring)
● fault and information messages
● odometer 3 91
● trip odometer 3 91
Fuel used Displays the amount of fuel
consumed since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time by pressing and holding the
button.
Average consumption The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 400 metres.Average consumption is displayed,
taking into consideration the distance
travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 30 km/h.
Range The value is displayed after driving adistance of 400 metres.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.

indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 101.
Distance travelled
Displays the distance driven since the
last reset.

Driving economically
ECO mode ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects
engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. Control indicator ECO
illuminates in the instrument cluster when activated.

Driving and operating141If control indicator Z flashes, the
permitted emission limits may be
exceeded. Lift your foot off the
accelerator until Z stops flashing and
is steadily illuminated. Contact a
workshop immediately.
Malfunction indicator light 3 98.
AdBlue
General information The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
AdBlue level indicator
The current AdBlue percentage
remaining can be shown in the Driver
Information Centre 3 102.

142Driving and operatingPress button on end of wiper lever
repeatedly until the 'AdBlue
percentage remaining' menu is
displayed.
Level warnings
The AdBlue consumption is approx.
3.0 litres per 1000 km and depends on the driving behaviour.
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 102. Additionally, control
indicator Y illuminates continuously
together with a warning chime.
Refill the AdBlue tank as soon as
possible. Refer to "Refilling AdBlue"
below.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre depending on the current
AdBlue level.
Engine restarts prevented
Subsequent requests to refill AdBlue
and finally the announcement that an
engine restart will be prevented are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Note
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.
Before the prevention of an engine restart, a warning message with
0 km is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre, indicating that
after switching off the ignition an
engine restart will be prohibited.
After the prevention of an engine
start, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre
reminding the driver that AdBlue level is insufficient.To allow the engine to be restarted,
the tank should be refilled completely
or with a volume of at least ten litres
of AdBlue, depending on AdBlue
consumption.
Warning stages: level warnings,
engine restarts prevented
1. Y illuminates after ignition is
switched on with warning
message LEVEL ADBLUE LOW :
Driving is possible without any
restrictions.
Refill the AdBlue tank as soon as
possible.
