Distance travelled in km
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.
Average speed in km/h
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 while the vehicle is in motion.
Digital display of speed
The instrument panel display gives the speed in digital format
7).
Speed warning to --- km/h
This function may help you to keep within the speed limits. Press the   
button on the windscreen wiper lever   or the multifunction steering wheel* 
to select the current speed. The instrument panel display gives the selected 
speed, for example,  Speed warning 120 km/h . You have five seconds to reset 
the speed between 30 km/hand 250 km/h using rocker switch   or buttons   or   on the multifunction steering  wheel*. Press the   button or wait 
five seconds until the speed is stored and the warning is activated. If the set 
speed is exceeded, an acoustic signal is heard and a warning message is 
displayed until the speed is reduced to at least 4 km/h below the stored 
speed. The function is switched o ff by pressing the   button again.  Speed 
warning --- km/h is now displayed on  the instrument panel.
Ambient temperature display
The measurement margin ranges from  -40°C (-40°F) to +50°C (+125°F). At 
outside temperatures below +4°C (+39.2°F), “a snowflake symbol” (ice 
warning) appears in addition to the outside temperature display. This symbol 
flashes for a few seconds and remains lit until the outside temperature rises 
above +6°C (+42.8°F).
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!
Note
•
There are different instrument panels ; therefore the multifunction display 
may vary.
•
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the 
temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual ambient 
temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
•
Vehicles with a multifunction steering wheel* do not have buttons on the 
windscreen wiper lever. The multifunctio n display can only be controlled from 
the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*.

If the brake warning lamp 
 lights up together with the ABS warning 
lamp 
, the control function of the ABS could be out of action. This could 
cause the rear wheels to lock quickly when you brake. This could cause the 
rear to break away. Risk of skidding. Stop the vehicle and seek technical 
assistance.
Bulb defect 
The warning lamp lights up when a bulb in the vehicle's exte-
rior lighting is defective.The warning lamp

This warning lamp indicates that the engine oil pressure is 
too low.If this warning symbol starts to flash, and is accompanied by three  audible 
warnings, switch off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is too 
low, add more engine oil  ⇒page 216. The instrument panel displays the following message
15): 
STOP ENGINE OIL 
PRESSURE INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL .
If the symbol flashes although the oil level is correct,  do not drive on. The 
engine must not even run at idle speed. Obtain technical assistance.

The warning lamp should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is 
switched on. It should go out once the engine is started.
If the battery is disconnected, the indicator remains lit, even with the engine 
running. The warning light only goes of
f after a distance of approx. 50 m.
There is a fault in the electromechanica l steering system if the lamp does not 
go out or lights up whilst the vehicle is in motion. The indicator may appear 
in two different colours to indicate faults. If it lights yellow, this indicates a 
minor fault. If it lights red, seek wo rkshop assistance immediately, if no 
assistance is available stop driving. Stop the vehicle and seek technical 
assistance. The power steering does not work if the battery is flat or if the 
engine is off (for example, for towing). You should take into account that you 
will need considerably more power than  normal to steer the vehicle if the 
steering assistance is reduced or has failed completely.
For those vehicles fitted with ESP* the function “Recommended steering 
manoeuvre” is included. See  ⇒page 185.
Emission control system* 
 
This warning lamp monito rs the exhaust system.
Warning lamp 
 flashes:
When there is misfiring that can damage the catalytic converter. Reduce 
speed and drive carefully to the nearest qualified workshop to have the 
engine checked.
The instrument panel displa ys the following message
16): EXHAUST GAS SEE 
WORKSHOP . Warning lamp 
 is lit:
If a fault has developed during driving which has reduced the quality of the 
exhaust gas (e.g. lambda probe fault). Reduce speed and drive carefully to 
the nearest qualified workshop to have the engine checked.
The following information text displayed in the instrument panel display : 
EXHAUST GAS SEE WORKSHOP .
Electronic stabilisation programme (ESP)* 
 
This warning lamp monitors the electronic stabilisation 
programme.
This programme includes the ABS, EDL and TCS. This also includes the brake 
assist system (BAS), automatic cleaning of the brake discs and the trailer 
stability programme (TSP).
The warning lamp 
 has the following functions:
•
It will light for about 2 seconds when the ignition is switched on while a 
test of the function is carried out.
•
It flashes when the ESP is activated when driving.
•
It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
•
It will also come on if a fault should occur in the ABS because the ESP 
operates in conjunction with the ABS.
If the ESP warning lamp 
 lights up and stays on after the engine is started, 
this may mean that the control system has temporarily switched off the ESP. 
In this case the ESP can be reactivated by switching the ignition off and then 
on again. If the warning lamp goes out,  this means the system is fully func-
tional.
If the ESP button is activated, the TCS function deactivates and the warning 
lamp flashes.

Steering wheel contr
ols*
General informationThe steering wheel includes a multifunction module from where it is possible 
to control the audio, telephone and radi o navigation functions, and the auto-
matic gearbox*, without needing to distract the driver.
There are two versions of the multifunction module:
•
Audio version, to control the available audio functions from the steering 
wheel.
•
Audio + Telephone version, to control the available audio functions and 
the telephone system from the steering wheel.
Both versions may be used to control the Audio system (Radio, CD Audio, CD 
mp3, CD Changer) and the radio / naviga tion System, in which case they also 
control the Navigation system.
