also  
appears on the outside temperature display. This symbol remains on until the outside temperature rises above +6 °C  
(approximately +43 °F).  
In the following situations, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature due to heat radiating  
from the engine:  
When the vehicle is stationary  
When the driving speed is very low  
The measurement range is from -50 °C (approximately -58 °F) to +75 °C (approximately +167 °F).  
WARNING  
Roads may be icy when outside temperatures are low, even if they are above the freezing point. There is an increased  
risk of an accident on icy roads. This could result in serious or fatal injuries.  
If the  
symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster display, drive with extra caution.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
Never rely solely on the outside temperature display.

accelerator pedal.  
NOTICE  
To prevent engine damage, the tachometer indicator may only be in the red area of the scale briefly. A heavy engine load,  
especially when the engine is cold, can lead to engine damage.  
Avoid high engine speeds, harsh acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.  
Shifting up early helps save fuel and reduce operating noises.

WARNING  
If the fuel level is too low, this can result in irregular fuel supply and cause the engine to “sputter” or cut out, particularly  
when traveling uphill or downhill. The steering, all driver assistance systems and brake support systems will not work if  
the engine cuts out due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply. This may result in vehicle breakdowns while driving,  
accidents and serious or fatal injuries.  
Check that the fuel tank is always sufficiently filled.  
Always refill the fuel when the fuel tank is only 1/4 full.  
NOTICE  
Irregular fuel supply can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system.  
Never drive with a completely empty fuel tank.  
Engine coolant temperature display  
Digital Engine Coolant Temperature Display  
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the coolant temperature for engine cooling may be displayed in the Operating  
temperatures secondary display.
