⇒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 zone shift up into
the next higher gear. One should shift to a lower gear at the late
st when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”. Avoid high engine speeds
when running-in the vehicle
⇒page 137.

Shifting up early helps yo
u save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge

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. The service interval display can also be reset with the reset button as follows ⇒ page 16, fig. 18
:
•
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 Disp
lay 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

The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low speed.Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in litres/100 km
⇒page 20. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel co
nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel
consumption over a cert
ain period of time
you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the button
⇒page 20, fig. 21
. A zero appears in the display for the first 300 m you
drive after erasing the memory. The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is
taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be increased accordingly. You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery) before a new readout for the range is displayed.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display ⇒ page 20. If you wish to calculate the distance driven from a particular time of day
you must first erase the memory at this mo
ment in time by pressing the button
⇒ page 20, fig. 21
.
The maximum distance indicated in both sw
itch positions is 9 999 km. The indicator
is set back to null if th
is period is exceeded.
Average speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in km/hour
⇒page 20. If you wish to determine
the average speed over a certain
period of time you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measure- ment using the button
⇒page 20, fig. 21
.
A zero appears in the display for the first 300 m you drive after erasing the memory.The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.Driving timeThe driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in the display
⇒page 20. If you wish to calculate th
e driving time from a particular
time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing the button
⇒page 20, fig. 21
.
The maximum distance indi
cated in both memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to null
if this period is exceeded.
Warning 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. This function is only vali
d for some export countries.
