Technical Data
Engine revolutions counterThe red zone of the rev counter scale page 16, fig. 15 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 value.
Shift into the next higher gear or select th e selector lever position D of the automatic
gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale.
Avoid high engine speeds du ring the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature page 173.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you sa ve fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres
per hour. The acoustic warning signal will sw itch off again when the vehicle speed goes
below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge page 16, fig. 15 operates only when the ignition
is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges: Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full throttle
and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into
the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may
also move further to the right at high
engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the warning
symbol
 in the instrument cl uster does not flash.
If the symbol  in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Observe the guidelines
 page 33, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes page 204, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonn et and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge page 16, fig. 15 only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about
10.5 litres of fuel remaining in the ta nk. This symbol is a reminder for you, that you
must refuel .
The following will be displayed in the information display*: Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.


If warning messages are shown in the information display page 25 page 25,
these messages can be confirmed with the bu tton on the windshield wiper lever or
with the button on the multifunction steering wheel in order to call up the main
menu.

If you do not activate the information display at that moment, the menu shifts to
one level higher every 10 seconds.

The operation of the factory-fitted radio* or the navigation system* is described in
separate operating instructions to be found in the on-board literature.
Door, luggage compartment door and bonnet ajar warningThe door, luggage compartment and bonnet ajar warning lights up if at least one door,
the luggage compartment or bonnet are not closed. The symbol indicates which door
is still open or whether the luggage compartment door or bonnet is not closed.The symbol goes out as soon as the doors,
luggage compartment door and bonnet are
completely closed.
A warning signal sounds if the car is driven at a speed of more than 6km/hour and if
the engine or the luggage compartment door is open.
Auto Check Control*Car stateThe Auto Check Control carries out a chec k of certain functions and vehicle compo-
nents. The check is performed constantly when the ignition is switched on, both when
the vehicle is stationary, as well as when driving.
Some operational faults, urgent repairs, se rvice work or other information appear in
the display of the instrument cluster. The di splays 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 28.
There is at least one error message when the term Vehicle status is displayed in the
menu. After selecting this menu the first of the error messages is displayed. Several
error messages are shown on the display under the message e.g. 1/3. This indicates
that the first of a total of three error messages is displayed. Investigate the displayed
faults as soon as possible.
As long as the operational faults are not rectified, the symbols are always indicated
again. After the first display, the symbol s are indicated without information for the
driver.
If a fault occurs, a warning signal will also so und in addition to the symbol and text in
the display:
Priority 1 - three warning signals

Priority 2 - one warning signal

The windscreen and rear window heater on ly operates when the engine is running.
The windscreen and rear window heater switches off automatically after 10 minutes.
For the sake of the environment
As soon as the window is de-iced or free from mist, the heating should be switched off.
The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel economy
 page 177, “Saving electricity”.
Note

If the on-board voltage drops, the rear window heater is switched off automatically,
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.

The position and the shape of the switch can differ depending on equipment
installed in the vehicle.
Sun visorsFig. 49 Sun visor: Swivelling out / double sun visor: Folding outYou can pull the sun visor for the driver or front passenger out of the fixture and swivel
it toward the door in the direction of the arrow fig. 49 .
The vanity mirrors* in the sun visors are provided with covers. Push the cover in direc-
tion of arrow .
On vehicles which are equipped with double sun visor*, you can also unfold the auxil-
iary visor in direction of arrow fig. 49 after swivelling the sun visor.
WARNING
The sun visors must not be swivelled to the side windows into the deployment
area of the head airbags if any objects, su ch as ball-point pens etc. are attached
to them. This might result in injuries to the occupants if the head airbag is
deployed.

The rear window wiper operates only if the boot lid is closed.
If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depending on
speed.
The rain sensor* automatically regulates the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain.
The rear window will be wiped again if the front window wipers are on when reverse
gear is selected.
The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.
Top up with wash liquid page 214.
Winter position
If the windscreen wipers are in rest positi on, they cannot be folded out from the wind-
screen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in winter so
that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily. You can set this rest position as
follows:
