Instrument cluster
Engine speed limitation
Tips
If the indicator light turns on, the engine will
be automatically limited to the RPM displayed in
the instrument cluster. This will protect the en-
gine components, for example during a cold start
or from overheating.
Distances are displayed in mi (miles) or km
(kilometers).

If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed in
the instrument cluster may be slightly higher
than the actual temperature outside due to heat
radiating from the engine.
Note
At temperatures below 41 °F (+5 °C), a snowflake

The needle in the tachometer may only be in
the red area of the gauge for a short period of
