Engine revolutions counter
Read and observe
on page 30 first.
The red scale range of the rev counter
1
» Fig. 20 on page 30 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 32 .
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 life and reliability of the engine.

ignition is switched on.
In vehicles with a segment display, the coolant temperature is indicated only
by one of the warning lights » page 41, 

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 41.
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.

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 

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

Switching off temporarily123Switching off completely123
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed, more than 25 km/h,
without you having to actuate 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 switched on 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 the first gear or reverse gear is engaged.
■
On vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, it is not possible to switch on
the cruise control system if the selector lever is in position P, N or R.
■
The Cruise Control System may automatically switch off when some brake
assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the speed exceeds maximum permis-
sible engine speed, or a similar event takes place.
