Audio 20*, you can set the time using the on-
board computer.
Vehicles with a 4-button multi-function steer-
ing wheel (Y page 129 )
Vehicles with a 12-button luxury multi-func-
tion steering wheel* (Y page 142 )
i Vehicles with a navigation system*
(Audio 50 APS* or COMAND APS*): your
navigation system *receives the time from
a GPS satellite. You must set the time zone
once on your Audio 50 APS* or COMAND
APS*. Refer to the separate Operating
Instructions for notes on how to do this. Speedometer with segments (vehi-
cles with luxury multi-function steer-
ing wheel*, 12 buttons)
The segments in the speedometer indicate
which speed range is available.
Cruise control* mode:
The segments light up from the stored speed
to the maximum speed.
Variable Speedtronic* mode:
The segments light up from the start of the
scale to the selected limit speed. Rev counter
The red band in the rev counter indicates the
engine's overrevving range. The fuel supply is
interrupted to protect the engine when the
red band is reached.
! Do not drive in the overrevving range.
Doing so will damage the engine. H
Environmental not
e
Avoid driving at high engine speeds, as thi s
increases your vehicle's consumption
unnecessarily and pollutes the environ -
ment through increased emissions. Outside temperature display

Risk of accident
The road surface may be icy, especially in
wooded areas or on bridges, even if tem-
peratures are just above freezing point. The
vehicle could skid if you fail to adapt your
driving style. You should therefore always
adapt your driving style and speed to suit
the weather conditions .
There is a short delay before a change in out-
side temperature is displayed. Controls
