Outside temperature display

When outside temperatures are colder than approximately +4 °C (+39 °F), a snowﬂake symbol also appears on the outside

temperature display

. This symbol remains on until the outside temperature rises above +6 °C (+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 -45 °C (-49 °F) to +76 °C (+169 °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.

Gear recommendation

A recommendation to select a fuel-saving gear may be displayed in the analog instrument cluster while driving ⇒ Gear

recommendation.

Open doors, hood and trunk lid

If, after unlocking the vehicle and while driving, any doors and/or the hood or trunk lid are open, this is displayed in the analog

instrument cluster and an audible signal may also sound.

Speed warning for winter tires

If the set maximum speed is exceeded, this will be shown in the analog instrument cluster.

Settings for the speed warning can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system ⇒ Winter tires.

Compass display

When the ignition is switched on, the instrument cluster display shows an abbreviation to indicate the direction the vehicle is

currently traveling, for example “NW” for northwest.

There are different instrument clusters; therefore the versions and appearances of the displays may vary. Malfunctions will

only be indicated by indicator lights if the display does not have warning or information texts.

Some displays in the analog instrument cluster may be hidden due to events that occur suddenly, e.g. incoming phone

calls.

Depending on the equipment, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment system.

Tachometer

The start of the red area on the tachometer indicates the maximum permissible engine speed for all gears when the engine is

run in and at operating temperature.

Before reaching the red area, shift to the next highest gear, select the selector lever position D/S or take your foot off the

accelerator pedal.

NOTICE

A heavy engine load, especially when the engine is cold, can lead to engine damage.

Avoid high engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.

To prevent engine damage, the tachometer indicator may only be in the red area of the scale brieﬂy.

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. This may result in vehicle breakdowns while driving, accidents and serious or fatal

injuries. 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.
