Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒ fig. 38 only works when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine damage, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Cold temperature
If the needle is still on the left of the dial, this indicates that the engine has
not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs and heavy accelera-
tion and do not make the engine work hard. Normal temperature
In normal operations, the needle will settle somewhere in the centre of the
dial once the engine has reached running temperature. The temperature may
also rise when the engine is working hard, especially at high outside temper-
atures. This is no cause for concern, provided the warning lamp
does not
light up in the instrument panel.
Warning temperature
If the symbol
flashes in the display, this means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒page 78.
WARNING
•Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level, observe the
warning information ⇒page 221.•Never open the bonnet when steam or coolant is being released from it.
This could lead to burns. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.Caution
Accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At
high outside temperatures and high e ngine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.

Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of engine revolutions
per minute.You should select a lower gear if the engine speed drops below 1500 rpm.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed
w hich may b e us ed wh en the e ngin e is war m a nd af te r it has b e e n r un i n p rop -
erly. However, it is advisable to change up a gear or lift your foot off the accel-
erator before the needle reaches the red zone.
Caution
The rev. counter needle ⇒fig. 39 must only reach the red zone for a short
period, otherwise the engine could be damaged. The start of the red zone on
the dial is different for some engine versions.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save fuel and minimise engine
noise.Digital clock and date
Your vehicle is equipped with a quartz clock.The time and date are set using the and buttons.
Setting the hour
– Press the button. The hour display will start to flash.
– Use the and buttons to set the hour.

Technical Data
Speedometer with distance display
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models,
however, the mileage recorder will show “miles”.
Lower distance display
The lower distance display records the vehicle's total mileage.
Upper distance display (trip recorder)
The upper distance display shows the distance that has been travelled since
the trip recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short journeys. The last
digit of the trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
The upper distance display can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button
⇒fig. 42 . Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters
DEF will appear perma-
nently in the trip recorder display. Please have the fault rectified as soon as
possible.
Electronic immobiliser
The vehicle key data is consulted when the ignition is switched on.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display. The vehicle can no longer be started if that happens.
Fuel reserveThe display only works when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol
lights up in the
instrument cluster display ⇒page 80. At this point there are still about 8 to
10 litres of fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
You can consult the tank capacity of your vehicle in the ⇒page 298, “Dimen-
sions and capacities” section.
Caution

can occur. This means that fuel could reach the exhaust system without
burning. This may lead to the catalytic converter reheating and being
damaged.

Starting check procedure (auto-check control)
The auto-check control ⇒page 75 checks important components and vehicle
systems. These background checks are run constantly, as long as the ignition
is switched on.
You can start the “check procedure” manually by pressing the button
with the ignition switched on. This function check can be started with the
engine either stationary or running, but not at road speeds above 5 km/h. Calling up driver messages
If a Priority 1 symbol flashes in the display
⇒page 75, or if the bulb monitor
detects a failure of one of the lights ⇒page 81, the relevant driver informa-
tion can be called up again by briefly pressing the button. For
example:
Switch off engine, check oil level
The message will disappear from the display after about 5 seconds.

66Exhaust emission control system
If the warning lamp lights up continuously you should take your vehicle to a
specialist garage as soon as possible in order to have the fault rectified.
If the warning lamp flashes drive on at reduced speed and seek professional
help in order to avoid damage to the catalytic converter.
For further information on the catalytic converter ⇒page 190.Airbag system
This warning lamp monitors the airbag and belt tension
device system.The warning lamp
should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up, flashes or flickers when
the vehicle is moving, this indicates a malfunction in the system.
WARNING
If a malfunction should occur, have the system checked immediately by a
specialist garage. Otherwise there is a risk that the airbag system and/or
belt tensioners may not be triggered in an accident.
Tyre pressure monitoring display*
The tyre pressure should be corrected as soon as possible if
