RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you
can still drive with your vehi cle 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. After lighting up of the indicator light for the
fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 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.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), th e fuel consumption of
10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accordingly
to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
page 19. If you wish to measure the distance driven of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button page 20,
fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or the handwheel on the multifunction
steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memo ries is 1 999 km or on vehicles with
information display*, it is 9 999 km. The indicator is set back to null if this period is
exceeded.Average speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour page 19. If you wish to determine the average vehicle speed over a certain
period of time, you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using
the button page 20, fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or with the handwheel
on the multifunction steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 .
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Current speed*The current speed which is identical to the display of the speedometer page 15,
fig. 15 is indicated on the display.oil temperature*The oil temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on. If the oil
temperature is lower than 50°C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil tempera-
ture is present, three lines are displayed instead of the oil temperature.Warning against excessive speedsWarning against excessive speeds
This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A text in the
display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you have exceeded the set
speed limit.
You can set the desired speed limit as follows:

WARNING
If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body inju-
ries or major vehicle damage.
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accident s and fire when working in the engine compartment,
e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is also essential to
observe all warnings page 216, “Working in the engine compartment”.Note
The arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model version. The
symbols shown in the following functional description are to be found as indicator
lights in the instrument cluster.
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 -
danger) or yellow symbols (priority 2 - warning).
Turn signal system
Either the left
or right
indicator light flashes depending on the position of the turn
signal lever.
The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a turn signal light fails.
Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the turn
signal lights as well as both indicator lights to flash.
Further information about the turn signal system page 66.
Fog lights
The warning light
comes on when the fog lights are operating page 64.
Main beam
The indicator light
comes on when the main beam is selected or also when the
headlight flasher is operated. Further information about the main beam
page 66.
Low beam
The warning light
comes on when low beam is selected page 60.
Rear fog light
The warning light
comes on when the rear fog lights are operating page 65.

Diesel particle filter*
(diesel engine)
If the warning light
comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the diesel
particle filter because of the frequent short distances.
In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even speed
of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until
the warning light goes out with the 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: posi-
tion S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust temperature and
the soot deposited in the dies el particle filter is burnt.
Always pay attention to the valid speed limits .
The warning light
goes out after the successful cleani ng of the diesel particle filter.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash. In the in formation display* appears Diesel-particle
filter: Owner's manual. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the
emergency mode, which only has a reduced po wer output. After switching the ignition
off and on again the warning light
comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without delay by your specialist garage.
WARNING
If you do not pay attention to the warning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or major
vehicle damage.
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warning light must not tempt you to disregard
the national regulations for road traffic.Caution
