Revolutions counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 10.
The red scale of the revolution counter
1
» Fig. 2 on page 10 indicates the range
in which the system begins to limit the engine speed. The system automatically
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolution
counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
Follow the recommended gear to prevent engine speeds that are too high or too
low » page 24 .
Speedometer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 10.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h 1)
.
The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below
120 km/h.
67Coolant temperature gaugeFig. 3
Coolant temperature gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 10.
The coolant temperature gauge » Fig. 3 only operates when the ignitions is
switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this 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 mid-range of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or heavy en-
gine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too high. Further information » page 16.
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet im-
pair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
1)
This function only applies to certain countries.

DisplayFig. 4
Display types
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings on page 10.
The instrument cluster can have one of the following types of display » Fig. 4.
Segment display
MAXI DOT display
CAUTION
Pull out the ignition key if coming in contact with the display (e.g. when cleaning)
to prevent any possible damage. On vehicles with the KESSY system, switch off
the ignition and open the driver's door.
Fuel gauge
Fig. 5
Fuel gaugeFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 10.
The fuel gauge » Fig. 5 only operates if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres or 60 litres 1)
. If the amount of fuel
reaches the reserve area (the pointer reaches the red scale range), the indicator
symbol is illuminated » page 20 .
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine
and the exhaust system.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.

Problem with the engine oil pressure
If the
symbol is shown in the MAXI DOT display, you must have your vehicle
checked immediately by a specialist garage. The information about the maximum
permissible engine speed is displayed together with this symbol.
Clutches of the automatic gearbox are too hot
A
symbol in the MAXI DOT display indicates that the temperature of the auto-
matic gearbox DSG clutches is too high.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Gearbox overheated. Stop! Owner's manual!
Do not continue to drive! Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and wait until
the
icon goes out – risk of gearbox damage! You can continue your journey as
soon as the symbol disappears.
WARNINGIf you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis- tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard warning
lights » page 52 . The warning triangle must be set up at the prescribed dis-
tance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.Note■ If the MAXI DOT display shows warning messages, these messages must be
confirmed in order to access the main menu » page 23, Using the information

The warning lights indicate certain functions or faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in the
display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights illuminate briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few sec-
onds after switching on the ignition.
WARNING■ Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions in
the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury or
damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard warning lights » page 52 . The warning triangle must be set up at the prescribed dis-
tance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.
