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.

  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

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.

seconds while the handbrake is applied.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Release parking brake!
 Brake system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings 
 on page 14.
If the warning light   lights up, the brake fluid level in the brake system is too
low.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Brake fluid: Owner's manual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake flu-
id  » page 206 .

tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
light system  » page 52. The warning triangle must be set up at the prescri-
bed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.■
The following guidelines should be observed when opening the bonnet and
checking the brake fluid level  » page 199, Engine compartment .
■
If the warning light  is displayed simultaneously with warning light
  » page 19 ,   Antilock brake system (ABS) ,   do not continue your jour-
ney!  Seek help from a specialist garage.
■
A fault to the braking system can increase the vehicle's braking distance -
risk of accident!
