Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the risk of

injury.
● Do not operate the instrument panel con-
trol
s when driving. CAUTION
● To pr ev

● When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy ac
celeration and do not make the
engine work hard. 2

Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noi se. Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine rev
o

lutions per minute ››› Fig. 120 1 .
Tog ether w
ith the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al.
We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in ›››
 page 32, Gear-change
indicator. CAUTION
Never allow the rev counter needle 1 ›››
Fig. 120 to g o int
o the red zone on the scale for more than a very brief period, other-
wi
se ther

e is a risk of engine damage. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
f uel and minimi

se emissions and engine
noise. Indications on the display

Dist
ance travelled
The odometer registers the total distance
travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip ) shows the distance
travelled since the last odometer reset. The
last digit of the trip recorder indicates distan-
ces of 100 metres or one tenths of a mile.

Compass
With the ignition on and the navigation sys-
tem on, the cardinal point corresponding to
the direction of travel of the vehicle is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Selector lever position
The selected gear is displayed on the side of
the selector lever and on the instrument pan-
el display. In positions D and S, and with the
Tiptronic, the corresponding gear is also dis-
played.
Recommended gear (manual gearbox)
The recommended gear in order to save fuel
is displayed on the instrument panel while
you are driving ›››
 page 32.
Second speed display (mph or km/h)
In addition to the speedometer, the speed
can also be displayed in a different unit of
measurement (in miles or in km per hour). This option cannot be deactivated in models
destined f

or countries in which the second
speed must always be visible.
The second speed display can be adjusted in
the Easy Connect system via the  button
and the S

Speed warning
When the speed setting is exceeded, this will
be indicated on the instrument panel display.
This is very useful, for example when using
winter tyres that are not designed for driving
at the maximum speed of the vehicle

Observe the safety warnings ›››
in Warning
and contr o

Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in

g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Differ ent

versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings
and instructions can also be carried out
in the Easy Connect system. ●
When sever a

l warnings are active at the
same time, the symbols are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
the fault is rectified. Odometer

“km”/miles “m”) in the radio/Easy Connect*.
Please refer to the Easy Connect* Instructions
Manual for more details.
Odometer/trip recorder
The odometer shows the total distance cov-
ered by the vehicle.
The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of
the trip recor

der indicates distances of 100
metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by press-

age, please read the following notes for the
different temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If only the diodes in the lower part of the
scale light up, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached operating temperature.
Avoid high revs and heavy acceleration and
do not make the engine work hard. »

Safety

Operation
Normal temperature
If in norm
al
operations, the diodes light up
until the central zone, it means that the en-
gine has reached operating temperature. At
high outside temperatures and when making
the engine work hard, the diodes may contin-
ue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This
is no cause for concern, provided the control
lamp  does not light up on the instrument
panel digital display.
Heat range
When the diodes light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp appears 
on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperature is excessive ››› page 266. CAUTION
● To en s

ure a long useful life for the engine,
avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm al-
so depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature*
›››  page 35 as a guide.
● Additional lights and other accessories in
front of
the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the c
ooling air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the c
oo

ling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Fuel - Gas level

only work
when the ignition is switched on. When the
display reaches the reserve mark, the lower
diode lights up in red and the control lamp 
appears ››› page 104. When the fuel level is
very low, the lower diode flashes in red.
The yellow control lamp  lights up when the
reserve level has been reached.
The green warning lamp  lights up when the
vehicle is running in natural gas operating
mode. The green warning lamp  switc

hes off when
the natural gas is exhausted. The engine
changes to operate with petrol.
Problem: If the vehicle is left parked for a
long time immediately after refuelling, the
natural gas level indicator may not accurately
indicate the same level shown after refuelling
when the vehicle is started up again. This is
not due to a leak in the system, but to a drop
in pressure in the gas tank for technical rea-
sons after a cooling phase just after refuel-
ling.
