Engine revolutions counterThe red zone of the rev counter scale
⇒page 17, fig. 17
indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to li
mit the engine speed. The engine control
unit restricts the engine speed to the steady limit value. Shift into the next higher gear or select
the selector lever position D of the auto-
matic gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale. Avoid high engine speeds during the driv
ing time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature
⇒page 201.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.SpeedometerWarning 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 ag
ain when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge
⇒page 17, fig. 17
operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on. In order to avoid any damage to the engine
, please pay attentio
n 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. Avoi
d 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. Observe the guidelines
⇒ page 38, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
⇒page 223, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co
mponents 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 gaugeThe fuel gauge
⇒page 17, fig. 17
only operates when th
e ignition is switched
on. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 9 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that
you must refuel

sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body injuries or majo
r vehicle damage.
•
The engine compartment of your car is
a hazardous area. There is a risk
of injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the engine compartment, e.g. inspecting and replenis
hing oil and other fluids. It is also
essential to obse
rve all warnings
⇒page 223, “Working in the engine
compartment”.
Note
•
The arrangement of the indicator lights
depends on the model version. The
symbols shown in the following functional description are to be found as indicator lights in the instrument cluster.•
Operational faults are shown in the inst
rument cluster as red symbols (priority
1 - danger) or yellow symbols (priority 2 - warning).Turn signal system

Either the left
 or right
 indicator light flashes depending on the position of the
turn signal lever. The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a turn signal light fails. This does not apply when towing a trailer.

The warning light comes on for a few second
s after the ignition has been switched
on or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic check sequence has been completed. A fault in the ABS The system is not functioning properly if the ABS warning light
 does not go out
within a few seconds after switching on the ignition, does not light up at all or lights up while driving. The vehicle will only be
braked by the normal brake system. Visit
a specialist garage as quickly as possible
and adjust your style of driving appropri-
ately as you will not know how great the damage is. Further information about ABS
⇒page 197, “Antilock brake system (ABS)”.
A fault in the entire brake system If the ABS warning light
 comes on together with the brake system warning light
 (handbrake must be released), there is
a fault not only in the ABS but also in
another part of the brake system
⇒
.
WARNING
•
If the brake system warning light
 comes on together with the ABS
warning light
 stop the vehicle immediatel
y and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir
⇒page 228, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level has dropped
below the MIN marking, do not drive any further - risk of accident! Obtain professional assistance.•
Pay attention to the following instru
ctions before checking the brake
fluid level and opening the bonnet
⇒page 223, “Working in the engine
compartment”.•
If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function has
failed. The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when braking. In certain circumstances, this can result in the rear end of the car breaking away - risk of skidding! Drive carefully to the ne
arest specialist garage and have the
fault rectified.
Bonnet

The warning light
 comes on if the bonnet is unlocked. If the engine bonnet
unlocks while driving
, the warning light lights up and an audible signal sounds.
The warning light comes on even when the
ignition is switched off. The warning
light lights up for a maximum of 5 minutes. On vehicles with information display* this
warning light is replaced by a vehicle
symbol
⇒page 28, fig. 29
.
Seat belt warning light

The warning light
 comes on after the ignition is switched on as a reminder for the
driver and front passenger to fasten the seat belt. The warning light only goes out if the driver or front passenger has fastened his seat belt. If the seat belt has not been fastened by the driver or front passenger, a permanent warning signal sounds at vehicle speeds
greater than 20 km/h and simultaneously
the warning light
 flashes.
If the seat belt is not fastened by the dr
iver or front passenger during the next 90

 lights up perma-
nently. Further information on the seat belts
⇒page 168, “Seat belts”.

5) when the ignition is switched
on. If the warning light
 comes on, contact a specialist garage immediately and have
the brake pads on
