Engine revolutions counter
Read and observe
on page 26 first.
The red scale of the rev counter
1
» Fig. 19 on page 26 indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine
control unit restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolu- tion counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is
fitted with an automatic gearbox.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 28 .
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up in good time has the following benefits.■It helps to reduce fuel consumption.■
It reduces engine noise.
■
It protects the environment.
■
It benefits the service life and reliability of the engine.

Warning against speeding
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/

the ignition is switched on.
In vehicles with a segment display, the coolant temperature is indicated only
by one of the warning lights » page 37, 

Coolant coming on or going off.
Cold range
The pointer in the left of the scale indicates that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or un-
der heavy engine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
The coolant temperature is too high if the pointer reaches the red area of the
scale. Further information » page 37.
CAUTION
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

30Using the system

The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Range
The estimated range is displayed in kilometres. It indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the level of fuel in the tank and the
same style of driving.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. The value is displayed in steps of 5 km
after the 
warning light has come on.
The fuel consumption over the preceding 50 km is used to calculate the infor-
mation. The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after the battery has been disconnected), a fuel
consumption of 10 l/100 km is used initially, then the value is adapted accord-
ing to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed. Reset
the memory to zero if you want to measure the distance travelled from a par-
ticular moment » page 30, Operation .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1999 km or 9999 km on
vehicles with a MAXI DOT display. The indicator is reset to zero when this val-
ue is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is displayed in km/hour .
Set the memory to zero at the start of measurement to determine the average
speed over a certain period » page 30, Operation .
No value will appear in the display until you have driven approximately 300 m after this information has been deleted.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.

A message concerning the kilometres and days remaining until the next
service is due is shown for about 10 seconds after the ignition is switched on
until the end of the service interval is reached.
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km or

Resetting the oil change service indicator in a specialist dealer's
For vehicles with variable service intervals, after resetting the screen displays,
the values of a new service interval is displayed, which are based on the previ-
ous operating conditions of the vehicle.
These values are then further continuously matched according to the actual
operating conditions of the vehicle.
Note
■ Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle
battery is disconnected.■
If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must
be entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work will be
done by a specialist garage.

The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed above 25 km/h,
once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.
The  warning light in the instrument cluster lights up when the cruise con-
trol system is switched on.
WARNING■ For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) – there is a risk of an accident.■
The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
traffic conditions.
■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being enabled unintentionally.
CAUTION
■ The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when
driving in areas with steeper gradients. The weight of the vehicle increases the
speed at which it travels. Therefore, shift to a lower gear in good time or slow
the vehicle down by applying the foot brake.■
It is not possible to switch on the cruise control system on vehicles fitted
with a manual gearbox if first gear or reverse gear is engaged.
■ It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on
the cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or R.■
The cruise control system may automatically switch off when some brake as-
sist systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the speed exceeds maximum permissi-
ble engine speed, or a similar event takes place.

Release the accelerator to reduce the speed back down to the preset speed.
However, if the saved speed is exceeded by more than 10 km/h for a period of more than 5 minutes by depressing the accelerator, the stored speed is de-
leted from the memory. The speed must then be saved again.
