Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒ fig. 38 only works when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine damage, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Cold temperature
If the needle is still on the left of the dial, this indicates that the engine has
not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs and heavy accelera-
tion and do not make the engine work hard. Normal temperature
In normal operations, the needle will settle somewhere in the centre of the
dial once the engine has reached running temperature. The temperature may
also rise when the engine is working hard, especially at high outside temper-
atures. This is no cause for concern, provided the warning lamp
v does not
light up in the instrument panel.
Warning temperature
If the symbol
 flashes in the display, this means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒page 78.
WARNING
•Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level, observe the
warning information ⇒page 224.•Never open the bonnet when steam or coolant is being released from it.
This could lead to burns. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.Caution
Accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At
high outside temperatures and high e ngine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.

Speedometer with odometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models,
however, the odometer will show “miles”.
Lower odometer
The lower odometer records the vehicle’s total mileage.
Upper odometer (trip recorder)
The upper odometer shows the distance that has been travelled since the trip
recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of the
trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile. The upper
odometer can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button ⇒fig. 42 . Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters
DEF will appear perma-
nently in the trip recorder display. Please have the fault repaired as soon as
possible.
Electronic immobiliser
The vehicle key data is consulted when the ignition is switched on.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display. The vehicle can no longer be started if that happens.
Fuel reserveThe display only works when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol
 lights up in the
instrument panel display ⇒ page 80. At this point there are still about 8 to 10
litres of fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
You can consult the tank capacity of your vehicle in the ⇒page 305, “Dimen-
sions and capacities” section.
Caution
N e v e r r un t h e ta n k co m p le t e l y d r y. I f t h e r e i s a n i r r e g u la r f u e l s u p p l y, m i s f i r i ng
can occur. This means that fuel could reach the exhaust system without
burning. This may lead to the catalytic converter reheating and being
damaged.

Service reminder
The instrument panel controls the distance travelled every day. It calculates
the average of these distances travelled and activates the service reminder
sufficiently in advance.
The display reverts back to the standard display after about 5 seconds. The
remaining distance to the next service is updated every time the ignition is
switched on, until the service becomes due.
Service due
When a service is due,
SERVICE! will appear in the display immediately after
you switch on the ignition. The display reverts back to the standard display
after about 5 seconds.
Resetting the display
The display is reset by the workshop after the service has been carried out.
The service interval will be set to a LongLife Service (flexible service interval)
or Inspection Service (fixed service interval), depending on which engine oil
is used. It is only possible to reset the display via the instrument panel when
a n o i l cha n ge i s p e r f o r m e d ; i n t h is cas e t h e d is p l a y ca n o n l y b e r e s e t t o a f i xe d
service interval of 15,000 km. Proceed as follows:
•Switch the ignition off.•Press the service button ⇒page 74, fig. 52 and hold while switching
on the ignition. The display will show one of these messages: Service in -----
km or Service!•Now press and hold the reset button until the display shows Service
in ----- km --- days or Service!
The display switches out of the reset mode if you do not press the reset button
within 5 seconds.Caution
The system cannot calculate the figures for the service interval display if the
battery is disconnected from the vehicle, so no service reminder can be displayed during this time. Please remember that it is essential to service the
vehicle within the established time limits to prevent its deterioration and to
extend its useful life (particularly that of the engine). The period between two
services must never be longer than the time specified in the Maintenance
Programme, even if you only cover a low mileage during this time.
Note
•Do not reset the service indicator between services, otherwise the display
will be incorrect.•The information in the service indicator remains intact if the battery is
disconnected.•The distance to the next service cannot be called up if the system has
detected a Priority 1 fault (red symbol).Auto-check systemIntroductionThe auto-check system checks important components and vehicle systems.
These background checks are run constantly, as long as the ignition is
switched on.
A message is displayed on the instrument panel if a fault should occur or if
any maintenance or repairs are urgently required. This is accompanied by an
audible warning signal. Depending on the priority of the fault, a red or yellow
warning symbol lights up on the display.
The red symbol indicates danger, whereas the yellow one represents a
warning . Additional messages for the driver may be shown with the red or
yellow symbols.

Onboard computerIntroduction
The onboard computer provides you with useful information
during a journey, including average and current fuel
consumption, average speed, distance to empty, driving time
and distance covered.Press RESET button ⇒page 86, fig. 60 to switch back and forward
between onboard computer functions 1 and 2.
The numbers in the display ⇒ fig. 59 indicate which of the two memories is
currently in use. A 1 means that the display is showing the information in the
single journey memory (onboard computer 1). A 2 means that the display is
showing the information in the total journey memory (onboard computer 2). Single-journey memory (onboard computer 1)
The single-journey memory processes the information on a journey from the
time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
resumed
within two hours after the ignition is switched off, the new figures
are automatically included in the calculation. If the journey is interrupted for
more than two hours t h e s t o r e d i n f o r m a t i o n i s a u t o m a t i ca l l y e r a s e d w h e n y o u
resume your journey.
Total-journey memory (onboard computer 2)
Unlike the single-journey memory, the total-journey memory is not erased
automatically. Hence, you can determine the period for which you wish the
onboard computer to supply figures.
Distance to empty
The estimated distance to empty is displayed in km. The distance to empty is
displayed in increments of 10 km.
Average fuel consumption
This mode shows the average fuel consumption since the memory was last
cancelled in litres/100 km.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows the instantaneous fuel consumption in litres/100 km.
When the vehicle is stationary, the computer will display the last value in the
memory.
Average speed
This mode shows the average speed driven since the memory was last
cancelled (in km/h).
Driving time
This display shows the period of time which has elapsed since the memory
was last cancelled. The longest possible period it can cover is 999 hours and
59 minutes.
