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. Shift into the next higher gear or change
into the selector lever position D of the automatic gearbox before reaching this
zone.
One should shift to a lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 20Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
The kilometer counter for distance driven is shown in the display when the ignition
is switched off. The trip counter for distance driven is shown on the display after
switching on the ignition. You can then switch over to the counter display with the
reset button.
Reset button
By briefly pressing the reset button ⇒page 18, fig. 18 you can switch over from
the trip counter to the kilometer counter. In order to recognise which counter for
the distance driven is shown on the display at that moment, trip appears on the trip
counter above the information of the driven route ⇒fig. 19.
If you hold the reset button pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter is set
back to zero.
If you hold the reset button pressed for longer than 3 seconds, a display
regarding the kilometers still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval (for this the trip counter is not set back) appears.
Fa ult di spl ay
dEF appears permanently in the display field of the counter for distance driven if
there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible
by a specialist workshop.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 valid for some countries.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons.
Note
On vehicles with information display both counters are shown simultaneously in
the display.Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ slightly on
the display.

Technical Data Service Interval Display
A key symbol

appears in the counter display for distance driven about 30 days
before reaching the due date for the service ⇒page 20, fig. 20. The remaining
distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key symbol and
then the remaining number of days to the due date for the service inspection.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE IN ... KM OR ... DAYS
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km. or days
until the service due date is reached.
The following text appears as a flashing key symbol

and a text as soon as the
due date for the service is reached.
INSP
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds after switching on the ignition. The trip
counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button for the trip counter (for
more than 1 second).
Display regarding the distance and days until the following service interval
You can have the distance still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval displayed at any time as follows:
•
Press reset button for more than 3 seconds.
A key symbol

is displayed on the display of the counter for the distance driven.
The remaining distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key
symbol and then the remaining number of days to the due date for the service
inspection.
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:
•
Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.
•
Switch the ignition on, release the reset button and turn the reset button to the
right. The service interval 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 resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that 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.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 22Digital clockA reset button is installed on the left below beside the speedometer for
adjusting the clock ⇒page 18, 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 ⇒fig. 21 or in the information
display ⇒page 25, fig. 24 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The 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 equipped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 21.
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 data relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 23, fig. 22.
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.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 24Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
The correct value 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 outside 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 with the outside temperature indicator ⇒fig. 23 and a
warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
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 temperatures around +4°C - warning,
drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data (guidance
to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for vehicles which
have a navigation and information display).
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.Current fuel consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.
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 22. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.

you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
button ⇒page 23, fig. 22. 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.
