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

interrupted to protect the engine when the
red band is reached.

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
