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.

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 .

Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the individual
functions of the multi-f unctional indicator to appear in the display
one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.The following readouts of the selected me mory will be set to zero by button :•
average fuel consumption,
•
distance driven,
•
average speed,
•
Driving time.
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.

Information display*IntroductionThe information display provides you with information in a convenient way
concerning the current operating state of your vehicle . The information system
also provides you with data (depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle)
relating to the radio, multi-function al indicator and navigation system.
Certain functions and oper ating conditions are always being checked on the
vehicle when the ignition is switched on and also while driving.
Functional faults, if required repair work and other information are indicated by red
symbols and yellow symbols. Lighting up of these symbols is combined with an acoustic warning signal.
Information and texts giving warnings
are also shown in the display ⇒page 27.
The display of text is possible in the following languages: Czech, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese.
The desired language can be set by a specialist garage.
