Engine revolutions counter
The start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒page 11, fig. 2 indicates
the maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been
run in and operating at a normal temperatur e. 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 162.
Caution
The needle of the revolutions counter must on no account move into the red zone
of the scale - risk of engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge ⇒ page 11, fig. 2 operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine , please pay attention to the following
notes regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads. The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe
r may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temper atures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol
in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol
in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Please refer to the guide-
lines ⇒page 26, “Coolant temperature, Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 185, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge ⇒page 11, fig. 2 only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of ab out 62 litres. The warning symbol
in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now
about 8 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you, that
you must refuel .
The following will be displayed in the information display*: PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.

WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons!
Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the information appears in
the display of the counter for distance driven or in the information display ⇒fig. 5 .
Service Interval Display
If the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears after switching
on the ignition:
in the display of the trip counter Service 1 500 km
in information display SERVICE in 1500 km
Prior to the due date for the service the kilometre readout decreases in steps of 100
km. As soon as the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears:
in the display of the trip counter Service in information display
SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds after starting the engine. The trip counter
is also displayed after pressing the reset bu tton of the trip counter (for more than 1
second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
•resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,
•makes an entry in the Service schedule,
•affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
It is also possible for you to reset the Se rvice Interval Display with the reset button
⇒ fig. 5 as follows (does not apply to models with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition (if not already of f), press the reset button and hold it
down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button . The text Service or
service now appears in the display.
•Turn the button for resetting the clock to the right - the display is reset.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.
•information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.

be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat radiated by
the engine.
The outside temperature indicator will appear with a snowflake symbol (warning
signal for ice on the road) and a warning
signal sounds* when the outside temper-
ature lies between +5°C and -5°C.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at temperatures around +5°C - warning,
drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data (guidance
to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for vehicles which
have a navigation and information display).
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance
you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the tank for
the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery) before
a new readout for the range is displayed.
Fuel - present consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your styl e of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the me mory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒page 15. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel co nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a cert ain period of time
you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
button ⇒page 16, fig. 8 . A zero appears in the display for the first 300 m you
drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 30 metres while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consum ed will not be indicated.
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display ⇒page 15. If you wish to calculate th e driving time from a particular
time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing the
button ⇒page 16, fig. 8 .
The maximum time indicated in both switch positions is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to nu ll if this period is exceeded.

As an additional warning signal, a 3 time peep sounds if the car is driven at a speed
of more than 6km/hour an d if the door is open.
Radio display
These displays appear in addition to the normal information in the radio display.
Auto Check Control
Car state
The Auto Check Control carries out a check of certain functions and vehicle compo-
nents. The check is performed constantly wh en the ignition is switched on, both
when the vehicle is stationary, as well as when driving.
Operational faults, urgent repairs, service work or other information appear in the
display of the instrument cluster. The displays are shown with a red or yellow light
symbol depending on the priority of the message.
The red symbols indicate danger (priority 1) while the yellow symbols indicate a
warning (priortity 2). Information for the driver may also appear in addition to the
symbols ⇒page 22. Investigate the displayed faults as soon as possible. If several operational faults exist
at the same time, the symbols will appear
one after the other and are each visible
for about 2 seconds.
The error messages are faded out after 10 seconds or by actuating the rocker switch
⇒ page 19, fig. 11 and are stored under the information CAR STATUS.
There is at least one error message to be read when the term CAR STATUS is
flashing in the main menu. The display will show STATUS 1/2 (for example) if a
number of error messages are present. This display indicates that the first of a total
of two error messages should be displayed.
Actuate the rocker switch , to call up the individual error messages.
If a fault occurs, a warning signal will also sound in addition to the symbol and text
in the display:
•Priority 1 - three warning signals
•Priority 2 - one warning signal
Operational check of the automatic gearbox
When the ignition is switched on, the Auto Check Control automatically carries out
an operational check. The following text will appear first if the selector lever is the
position P or N:
"APPLY FOOT BRAKE WHEN SELECTING GEAR WITH VEHICLE
STATIONARY." (Apply foot brake when selecting a gear while the vehicle is
stationary).
You must depress the brake pedal first and press the Shiftlock button at the same
time in order to move the selector lever out of these positions.
The text will disappear once you select a drive position ( R, D etc.), and the Auto
Check Control function is displayed.
If the Auto Check Control detects faults, these will be displayed about 15 seconds
after starting the engine in place of the text shown above. A warning signal sounds
at the same time.
