Outside temperature display  
In the event of outside temperatures below approximately +4°C(around +39°F), the outside temperature is shown on  
the instrument cluster display, e.g. Attention: outside temperature -2.0 °C. The symbol remains lit up until the  
outside temperature rises above +6°C (+43°F).  
In the following situation, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature as a result  
of the heat radiated from the engine.  
—When the vehicle is stationary.  
—When the auxiliary heater is being used.  
25  
—When travelling at very low speeds.  
The measuring range is between -45°C(-49°F) and +76°C (+169°F).  
WARNING  
Streets and bridges can ice over at outside temperatures above freezing point.  
● The symbol indicates that there is a risk of black ice.  
● There may also be black ice on the road at outside temperatures above +4°C(+39°F) when the symbol is not  
displayed.  
● Never rely only on the outside temperature display.  
Gear-change indicator  
While the vehicle is in motion, the instrument cluster may show which gear should be selected to reduce fuel  
consumption (→ Gear-change indicator).  
Open doors, bonnet and boot lid  
The instrument cluster display indicates if any doors, the bonnet or boot lid are open once the vehicle has been  
unlocked and while the vehicle is in motion. In some cases, an acoustic signal is also given. Different instrument  
cluster designs may have different displays.  
Speed warning for winter tyres  
A display in the instrument cluster indicates when you have exceeded the set maximum speed.  
Speed warning settings can be made in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
Maximum speed limiter  
The customer-specific maximum speed limiter restricts the vehicle speed to a set maximum value that cannot be  
exceeded. This maximum speed can only be set by a suitably qualified workshop.  
If you start the vehicle’s engine when the maximum speed limit has been set, the indicator lamp lights up in the  
instrument cluster display. The set maximum speed is also indicated by a text message.  
WARNING  
The set maximum speed limit can make overtaking difficult. This can result in serious injury and accidents.  
● Always adapt your speed and way of driving to the set maximum speed.  
● The maximum speed limit cannot be overridden by a kick-down.  
Radiator fan after-run  
This appears after the engine has been switched off and the radiator fan continues to run.  
The cause of this can be:  
—Exhaust gas treatment, e.g. as part of particulate filter regeneration.  
—Dissipation of engine heat after a high load, e.g. when towing.  
Mileage displays  
The odometer records the total distance travelled by the vehicle.  
The trip recorder shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset.  
26  
1. Reset the trip recorder via the Infotainment system or via the service menu (→ Service menu).

The instrument cluster display indicates if any doors, the bonnet or boot lid are open once the vehicle has been  
unlocked and while the vehicle is in motion. In some cases, an acoustic signal is also given. Different instrument  
cluster designs may have different displays.  
Speed warning for winter tyres  
A display in the instrument cluster indicates when you have exceeded the set maximum speed.  
Speed warning settings can be made in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
Maximum speed limiter  
The customer-specific maximum speed limiter restricts the vehicle speed to a set maximum value that cannot be  
exceeded. This maximum speed can only be set by a suitably qualified workshop.  
If you start the vehicle’s engine when the maximum speed limit has been set, the indicator lamp lights up in the  
instrument cluster display. The set maximum speed is also indicated by a text message.  
WARNING  
The set maximum speed limit can make overtaking difficult. This can result in serious injury and accidents.  
● Always adapt your speed and way of driving to the set maximum speed.  
● The maximum speed limit cannot be overridden by a kick-down.  
Mileage displays  
The odometer records the total distance travelled by the vehicle.  
The trip recorder shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset.  
1. briefly press the  
button in the instrument cluster to reset the trip recorder to 0.  
Compass  
If the ignition is switched on, depending on the equipment level, the instrument cluster display shows the current  
direction of travel in the form of an abbreviation, e.g. NW for north-west.  
The graphic compass display is also available when the Infotainment system is switched on and route guidance is not  
active.  
Radiator fan after-run  
This appears after the vehicle’s drive system has been deactivated and the radiator fan continues to run.  
The cause of this can be:  
—Exhaust gas treatment, e.g. as part of particulate filter regeneration.  
—Dissipation of engine heat after a high load, e.g. when towing.

Engine code  
1. Switch on ignition, but the engine must not run.  
2. Press and hold the  
button on the instrument cluster for around 15 seconds to display the engine code.  
Telephone information  
The symbol is shown in the instrument cluster display if a mobile telephone is connected via Bluetooth®.  
The symbol also indicates the charge level of the mobile phone battery.  
Economical mode  
When driving, the instrument cluster display shows whether the vehicle is in an economical mode .  
Selector lever position for the automatic gearbox  
The gear selected is displayed on the side of the selector lever and on the display in the instrument cluster. The  
instrument cluster display shows which gear has been selected if the selector lever is in D position or in Tiptronic  
mode (→ Automatic gearbox).  
Different instrument clusters are available, which means that the versions and displays may vary. In displays  
without warning or information texts, faults are indicated exclusively by the indicator lamps.  
Some displays in the instrument cluster may be overridden by sudden alerts, e.g. incoming telephone  
calls.  
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used in each gear when the  
engine is warm and after it has been run in properly.  
You should change up a gear, select selector lever position D/S or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle  
reaches the red zone.  
NOTICE  
● When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the engine.  
● The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may otherwise be  
incurred.  
Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine  
noise.

Troubleshooting  
Fuel tank almost empty  
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The reserve volume(red marking) is being consumed .  
1. Refuel at the next opportunity (→ Fuel types and refuelling).  
Depending on equipment: when the indicator lamp lights up, the auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered  
supplementary heater switch off automatically.  
WARNING  
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic, potentially causing  
accidents and serious injuries.  
● When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when driving up or  
down hills and inclines.  
● The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if the engine “sputters” or  
35  
stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.  
● Refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full in order to avoid breaking down due to lack of fuel.  
NOTICE  
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. Irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the  
exhaust system.

Driving data display (multifunction display)  
The driving data display(multifunction display) shows various travel and fuel consumption data.  
Different driving data can be selected depending on the vehicle equipment level. The driving data displayed depend  
on the current driving behaviour, the vehicle status (e.g. particulate filter regeneration) and the current driving  
situation (e.g. urban traffic, motorway journeys). The driving data are calculated as an average value over sections of  
varying length. Consequently, the value currently displayed may differ from the actual average value.
