minute.The start of the red zone ⇒ page 49, fig. 30 indicates the maximum
engine speed operating at service temperature. However, it is advisable to
change up a into a higher gear, move the selector lever to D or lift your foot
off the accelerator before the needle reaches the red zone.
Caution
The rev counter needle must never enter the red zone on the scale. Risk of
engine damage.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up into higher gears early will help you to save fuel and minimise
engine noise.SpeedometerThe speedometer is equipped with a digital odometer and a trip counter, in
addition to a service intervals display.
During the running-in period, the instructions shown on ⇒page 152 should
be followed.

– To set the minutes, press button again and select the minute
option. Set from button “set”.Once the operation has been carried out, the system memorises the time.Ambient temperature display
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is
switched on.In addition to the outside temperature display, an ice crystal is displayed and,
if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h, a warning tone is heard at temperatures
dropping from between +4°C and -7°C and at temperatures rising from -5°C
up to +6°C.
The illumination of the crystal symbol aims to warn the driver of the risk of
ice, so that he/she proceeds with due care.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as
a result of heat coming from the engine.
Recommended gear display*
This display helps save fuel.Use the gear display to save fuel. If you are not in the correct gear, a triangle
will appear next to the gear display indicating whether you should change up

52Display with multi-function display (MFD)*
The multi-function display (MFD) shows you information on
the journey and fuel consumption.The multi-function system uses two automatic memories: 1 - Actual
memory and 2 - Total memory . The selected memory will be shown
in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
Selecting a memory
– With the ignition switched on, briefly press button ⇒fig. 33
on the windscreen wiper lever to move from one memory to
another.
Resetting a memory
– Select the memory that you would like to reset.
– Press and hold button on the windscreen wiper lever for at least 2 seconds.
The trip memory 1 collects the travel and consumption rates from the
moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
continued within two hours of switching off the ignition, the new values will
be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
The total memory 2 collects the trip data for any number of individual jour-
neys (even if the ignition is switched off for longer than two hours) up to a
total of 19 hours and 59 minutes travel time or 1999 km distance travelled.
The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the named values is
reached.Displays in the multi-function display (MFD)* You can switch between the following displays in the multi-function display
(MFD) by operating rocker switch ⇒fig. 34 on the windscreen wiper lever.

•Journey duration•Average speed•Distance•Distance to empty (the distance you can travel with the remaining fuel)•Average fuel consumption•Current fuel consumption•Ambient temperature display•Speed warning
Km/h - Driving speed
Driving speed is digitally shown in the display.
min - Journey duration
The display shows the amount of time which has elapsed since the ignition
was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes.
The memory will automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Økm/h - Average speed
The average speed will be shown after running a distance of approximately
100 metres. Dashes will appear in the display until that time. The display will
be updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
km - Distance travelled
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 1,999 km. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached. Km - Fuel range
The fuel range is calculated using the figures for tank content and current fuel
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference. Ø litre/100 km - Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption will be shown after having travelled approxi-
mately 100 metres. Dashes will appear in the display until that time. The
display will be updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in motion. The
amount of fuel used will not be shown.
l/100 km or litre/hr - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the
vehicle is in motion or in litre/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position
with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion
⇒page 154.
Ambient temperature display
The measurement range extends from -45°C to +58°C. At temperatures below
+4°C, an “ice crystal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” sounds if the
vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h (ice warning). This symbol will flash
for about 10 seconds and remain lit until the outside temperature rises above
+4°C or does not rise above 6°C when on the move if it was already lit.
Set speed indicator
When the required speed has been reached, enter the “Speed warning”
mode menu and press button -RESET-. The set speed is memorised. If the
indicated speed is exceeded at any time, a warning text is displayed on the
screen and a warning signal sounds.
3)
This may be deactivated by pressing the button. The speed may be
altered using the rocker switch in steps of 5 km/h within 5 seconds of the
initial memory value.3)Depending on the model version, the message on the screen may vary and may be
represented by flashing of the speed indication or by a speed message.

There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol”
is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!
Note
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature as
a result of the heat radiated from the engine.Display field for selector lever position*The position of the automatic gearbox selector lever is shown on the display

58•The engine compartment is a dangerous area! Before you open the
bonnet to work on the engine or in the engine compartment, you must
switch the engine off and allow it to cool to reduce the risk of scalding or
other kind of injuries. Read and observe the relevant warnings
⇒ page 176.Note
•The appropriate warning lamp for a fault will light up in vehicles without
warning or information texts in the display.•In vehicles with warning or information texts on the screen, the appro-
priate warning lamp for a fault will light up and a warning or information text
will also appear on the screen.Engine management


This warning lamp monitors the engine management system
for petrol engines.
The warning lamp
 (Electronic Power Control) lights up when the ignition
is switched on to show that the lamp is working properly. It should go out
once the engine is started.
If there is a fault in the electronic engine management system while you are
driving, this warning lamp will light up. Stop the vehicle and seek technical
assistance.
Glow plug system / Engine fault*

The warning lamp lights up to show that the glow plugs are
preheating. It flashes if there is an engine fault.
Warning lamp
 is lit
The warning lamp  lights up while the glow plugs are preheating. When the
warning lamp goes off, the engine should be started straight away.
Warning lamp
 flashes
If a fault develops in the engine management system while you are driving,
the glow plug lamp will flash
. Take the vehicle to an Authorised Service
Centre as soon as possible and have the engine checked.
Soot accumulation in the diesel engine particulate filter *

If the indicator lights
 you may help the filter clear itself by driving in the
appropriate manner.
To do this, drive about 15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear (automatic gearbox: S
gear range) at a speed of 60 km/h, with the engine running at approximately
2000 rpm. In this way, the pollen build up in the filter is burned. When
cleaning is successful, the indicator turns off.
If the indicator
 is not deactivated, bring the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to repair the fault.
WARNING
•Always drive according to the road weather conditions, the terrain and
traffic. Driving recommendations should never lead to illegal manoeuvres
in surrounding traffic.
