Engine revolutions counterThe start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run in and operating at a normal temperature.
Before reaching this area shift up into
the next higher gear.
One should shift to the next lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer
running “smoothly”.
Avoid high engine speeds du ring the running-in period ⇒page 139.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps yo u save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒fig. 18 operates only when the ignition is
switched on.

Technical Data
In order to avoid any damage to the engine
, please pay attention to the following
notes regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temp erature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe r may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temperat ures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol
in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol
in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Observe the guidelines
⇒ page 30, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 162, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co mponents in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge ⇒page 16, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol
in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that
you must refuel .
The following will be displayed in the information display*: PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can result in
poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and
damage the catalytic converter.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome-
tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.

Technical Data
The display disappears within 20 seconds after switching on the ignition. The trip
counter is also displayed af
ter pressing the reset button for the trip counter (for
more than 0,5 second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least
a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
•
resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,
•
makes an entry in the Service schedule,
•
affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
Reset the service interval displays as follows by using the reset button
⇒ page 16, fig. 18 on the trip counter:
•
Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.
•
Switch the ignition on, release the reset button. The text Service or SERVICE
NOW appears in the display.
•
Turn the button for setting the clock to the right - as a result of this the display
is reset.Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•
Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.
•
information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.
•
it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instrument cluster
is installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.
•
The data displayed is the same after rese tting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as th at for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by a specialist garage which is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.
•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
Digital clockA clock-set button is installed on the bottom left beside the speedom-
eter for adjusting the clock ⇒page 16, fig. 18 .
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes
– Turn the reset button to the right.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons but only
when the vehicle is stationary!Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display of the revolutions counter or
in the information display depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle
⇒ page 23, fig. 23 .

20The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is eq uipped with two automatic memories.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that da ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒fig. 21 .
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other
hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours. Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers
data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.Using the systemThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 21 .

You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the fu nction displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the outside temperature indicator
with a snow flake symbol appears. The symbol warns the driver of the possible
danger of ice on the road. After the rock er switch is pressed, the function
displays the one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the disp lay when the ignition is switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5 minutes. If the
vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the temperature indicated may
be slightly higher than the actual outsid e temperature because of heat radiated by
the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4°C , a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears be hind the temperature indicator ⇒fig. 22 and a
warning signal sounds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at te mperatures around +4 °C - warning,
drive with care!Current consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your styl e of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.

Auto Check ControlCar stateThe Auto Check Control carries out a check of certain functions and vehicle compo-
nents. The check is performed constantly when the ignition is switched on, both
when the vehicle is stationary, as well as when driving.
Operational faults, urgent repairs, service work or other information appear in the
display of the instrument cluster. The disp lays are shown with a red or yellow light
symbol depending on the priority of the message.
The red symbols indicate danger (priority 1) while the yellow symbols indicate a
warning (priortity 2). Information for the driver may also appear in addition to the
symbols ⇒page 27.
Investigate the displayed faults as soon as possible. If several operational faults
exist at the same time, the symbols will appear one after the other and are each
visible for about 2 seconds.
The error messages are faded out after 10 seconds or by actuating the rocker switch ⇒ page 24, fig. 26 and are stored under the information CAR STATUS.
There is at least one error message to be read when the term CAR STATUS is
flashing in the menu. The display will show STATUS 1/2 (for example) if a number
of error messages are present. This display indicates that the first of a total of two
error messages should be displayed.
Actuate the rocker switch , to call up the individual error messages.
If a fault occurs, a warning signal will also sound in addition to the symbol and text
in the display:•
Priority 1 - three warning signals
•
