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.
Digital clock
You can set the time with the reset button at the bottom right next to the
rev counter.
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!
Speedometer with counter for distance driven
The distance which you have driven with yo ur vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
Bottom counter (trip counter) for distance driven
The bottom counter indicates the distance which you have driven since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metr es or 1/10 of a mile. It can be reset to
zero by pressing the reset button next to the trip counter ⇒fig. 4 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter for distance driven indica tes the total distance in kilometres or
miles which the vehicle has been driven.
Fau lt dis pla y
dEF will appear as a constant text 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!
Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the information appears in
the display of the counter for distance driven or in the information display ⇒fig. 5 .
Service Interval Display
If the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears after switching
on the ignition:
in the display of the trip counter Service 1 500 km
in information display SERVICE in 1500 km
Prior to the due date for the service the kilometre readout decreases in steps of 100
km. As soon as the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears:
in the display of the trip counter Service in information display
SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds after starting the engine. The trip counter
is also displayed after pressing the reset bu tton of the trip counter (for more than 1
second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
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.
It is also possible for you to reset the Se rvice Interval Display with the reset button
⇒ fig. 5 as follows (does not apply to models with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition (if not already of f), press the reset button and hold it
down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button . The text Service or
service now appears in the display.
•Turn the button for resetting the clock to the right - 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.

As an additional warning signal, a 3 time peep sounds if the car is driven at a speed
of more than 6km/hour an d if the door is open.
Radio display
These displays appear in addition to the normal information in the radio display.
Auto Check Control
Car state
The Auto Check Control carries out a check of certain functions and vehicle compo-
nents. The check is performed constantly wh en 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 displays 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 22. 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 19, fig. 11 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 main 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
•Priority 2 - one warning signal
Operational check of the automatic gearbox
When the ignition is switched on, the Auto Check Control automatically carries out
an operational check. The following text will appear first if the selector lever is the
position P or N:
"APPLY FOOT BRAKE WHEN SELECTING GEAR WITH VEHICLE
STATIONARY." (Apply foot brake when selecting a gear while the vehicle is
stationary).
You must depress the brake pedal first and press the Shiftlock button at the same
time in order to move the selector lever out of these positions.
The text will disappear once you select a drive position ( R, D etc.), and the Auto
Check Control function is displayed.
If the Auto Check Control detects faults, these will be displayed about 15 seconds
after starting the engine in place of the text shown above. A warning signal sounds
at the same time.
