WARNING
When working in the engine compartment, always bear in mind the safety 
warnings ⇒ page 180.
Caution
Accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At 
high outside temperatures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the 
engine overheating.Fuel gauge 
 and reserve indicator
Instrument panel: fuel gauge
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 45 litres. When the needle reaches the reserve zone 
⇒fig. 34  the warning lamp will 
light and an acoustic signal will sound  reminding the driver to refuel. At this 
point there are still about 7 litres of fuel in the tank.
SpeedometerThe speedometer is equipped with a digital odometer and a trip counter, in 
addition to a service intervals display.
During the running-in period, the instructions shown on  ⇒page 151 should 
be followed.Digital display in the instrument panelDigital clock* – Turn the setting knob  ⇒page 52, fig. 32    anti-clockwise to

Time
The time is also displayed when the ignition is switched off. The clock can be 
set with the right-hand rotating button below the rev counter “digital clock”.
min - Journey duration
The display shows the amount of time which has elapsed since the ignition 
was switched on.
The maximum display value in both me mories is 99 hours and 59 minutes. 
The memory will automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Ø km/h - Average speed
The average speed will be shown after a distance of approximately 100 
metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear in the display until that time. 
The display will be updated every 5 seconds whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Miles - Distance travelled
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 9999 miles. The memory will 
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
 Miles - Fuel range
The fuel range is calculated using the fi gures for tank content and current fuel 
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference.
Ø litre/100km - Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption will be shown  ⇒page 56, fig. 38  after a 
distance of approximately 100 metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear 
in the display until that time. The display will be updated every 5 seconds 
whilst the vehicle is in motion. The amount of fuel used will not be shown.
ltr/100km or ltr/hr - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the 
vehicle is in motion or in litre/hour when  the vehicle is in a stationary position 
with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion  ⇒page 160.
Ambient temperature display
The measurement margin extends from -45°C to +58°C. At temperatures 
lower than +4°C, an “ice crystal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” sounds 
if the vehicle is moving at more than  10 km/h (ice warning). This symbol will 
flash for about 10 seconds and remains lit until the exterior temperature rises 
above +4°C or 6°C if it was already lit.
WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol” 
is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this 
display - Risk of accident!

NoteWhen the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature as 
a result of the heat radiated from the engine.Display field for selector lever position*The position of the automatic gearbox selector lever is shown on the display 
⇒page 137.Mileage display or Service Interval DisplayDistance display
The upper counter in the display registers the total distance covered by the

Service interval display
A  Service pre-warning will appear in the mileage displays if a service is due 
soon. A spanner symbol appears and the display “km” with the distance that 
can be driven until the next service appointment is due. The display will 
change after approximately 10 seconds. A clock symbol appears and the 
number of days until the next service appointment is due.
The following message appears on the instrument panel if a service is due:
INSP- Maintenance service
The service message will disappear approximately 20 seconds after the igni-
tion is switched on or the engine is  running. This may also be turned off 
pressing the short journey counter reset button for more than 0.5 seconds.
2)
The Service Centre who carry out the maintenance service will reset the main-
tenance interval display on completion of the service.
We recommend that the repair and main tenance work only be carried out at 
Authorised Service Centres.
With the ignition switched on, you can  call up the current service message by 
pressing the trip counter reset button for 2 seconds.
The service indicator can also be reset  by pressing the trip counter button. 
Proceed as follows:
- Switch off ignition.
- Keep “Reset” button on distance counter pressed.
- Connect ignition with the “Reset ” button pressed. The fixed mode 
display appears.
- Release the reset button and rotate it to the right. The display will return  to the normal mode. The indication has been reset.
