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.

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.
