Cold range  
Engine revolutions counter  
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.  
1
The red zone of the rev counter scale A ⇒ page 17, fig. 18 indicates the range in  
which the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control  
unit restricts the engine speed to the steady limit value.  
The operating range  
Shift into the next higher gear or select the selector lever position D of the auto-  
matic gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale.  
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 cluster does not flash.  
Avoid high engine speeds during the driving time and before the engine has been  
warmed up to operating temperature ⇒ page 201.  
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 36, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.  
For the sake of the environment  
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your  
vehicle.  
WARNING  
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒ page 225, “Working in the engine  
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.  
Speedometer  
Warning against excessive speeds*  
Caution  
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome-  
tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle  
speed goes below this speed limit.  
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!  
Note  
This function is only valid for some countries.  
Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge A ⇒ page 17, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched  
on.

in the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking.  
There are now about 9 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder  
for you, that you must refuel.  
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following  
notes regarding the temperature ranges:

Reset button  
5
If you hold the reset button A ⇒ page 17, fig. 18 pressed for about 1 second, the  
trip counter is set back to zero.  
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.  
Trip counter for distance driven  
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven ⇒ fig. 19 since this  
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.  
Caution  
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! The irregular supply of the fuel system  
can lead to irregular running of the engine. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust  
system and damage the catalytic converter.  
Counter for distance driven  
The counter for distance driven ⇒ fig. 19 indicates the total distance in kilometers  
or miles which the vehicle has driven.  
Note  
Fault display  
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 approx.  
a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the correct fuel  
supply quantity is indicated. This effect is not a fault.  
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster, a constant text will appear in the display  
Error. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop.  
WARNING  
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for  
safety reasons!  
Counter for distance driven  
Note  
If vehicles which are fitted with the information display* the display of the second  
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the  
counter for the total distance driven.

The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.  
The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.  
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.  
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be  
increased accordingly.  
Current consumption  
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consumption  
of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord-  
ingly to the style of driving.  
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This  
information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you  
wish to achieve.

WARNING  
The indicator light comes on when the main beam is selected or also when the  
headlight flasher is operated.  
•
If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre-  
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body  
injuries or major vehicle damage.  
Further information about the main beam ⇒ page 64.  
•
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk  
of injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the engine  
compartment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is also  
essential to observe all warnings ⇒ page 225, “Working in the engine  
compartment”.  
Low beam   
The warning light comes on when low beam is selected ⇒ page 58.  
Note

Diesel particle filter* (diesel engine)  
Note  
Further information about diesel particle filter ⇒ page 200.  
If the warning light comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the  
diesel particle filter because of the frequent short distances.  
In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even  
speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15  
minutes or until the warning light goes out with the 4th or 5th gear engaged (auto-  
matic gearbox: position S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the  
exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt.

professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe  
engine damage.
