Engine revolutions counter
The start of the red zone in the revolutions counter
⇒fig. 2 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run
in and operating at a normal temperature. You should shift into the next higher gear
before this red zone is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your
car is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
One should shift to the next lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer
running “smoothly”.
Avoid high engine speeds du ring the running-in period ⇒page 189.

Multi-functional indica tor (onboard computer)*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒fig. 5 or in the information
display ⇒page 18, fig. 10 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equi pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 5 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that da ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 15, fig. 6 .
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched of f. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
