Engine revolutions counterThe start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run
in and operating at a normal temperature. Shift into the next higher gear or change
into the selector lever position D of the automatic gearbox before reaching this
zone.
One should shift to a lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”.

Technical Data
Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
The kilometer counter for distance driven is shown in the display when the ignition
is switched off. The trip counter for distance driven is shown on the display after
switching on the ignition. You can then switch over to the counter display with the
reset button.
Reset button
By briefly pressing the reset button ⇒page 15, fig. 18 you can switch over from
the trip counter to the kilometer counter. In order to recognise which counter for
the distance driven is shown on the display at that moment, trip appears on the trip
counter above the information of the driven route ⇒fig. 19.
If you hold the reset button pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter is set
back to zero.
If you hold the reset button pressed for longer than 3 seconds, a display
regarding the kilometers still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval (for this the trip counter is not set back) appears.
Fa ult di spl a y
dEF appears permanently in the display field of the counter for distance driven if
there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible
by a specialist workshop.Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome-
tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
This function is only valid for some countries.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons.
Note
On vehicles with information display both counters are shown simultaneously in
the display.Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ slightly on
the display.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 18Service Interval Display
A key symbol

appears in the counter display for distance driven about 30 days
before reaching the due date for the service ⇒page 17, fig. 20. The remaining
distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key symbol and
then the remaining number of days to the due date for the service inspection.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE IN ... KM OR ... DAYS
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km. or days
until the service due date is reached.
The following text appears as a flashing key symbol

and a text as soon as the
due date for the service is reached.
INSP
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds after switching on the ignition. The trip
counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button for the trip counter (for
more than 1 second).
Display regarding the distance and days until the following service interval
You can have the distance still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval displayed at any time as follows:
•
Press reset button for more than 3 seconds.
A key symbol

is displayed on the display of the counter for the distance driven.
The remaining distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key
symbol and then the remaining number of days to the due date for the service
inspection.
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.
The Service Interval Display can also be reset with the reset button as follows:
•
Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.
•
Switch the ignition on, release the reset button and turn the reset button to the
right. The service interval 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.
•
it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instrument cluster
is installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.
•
The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by a specialist garage which is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.
•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
•
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at
least a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
