52Rev counter
The rev counter displays the engine speed in revolutions per 
minute.The start of the red zone ⇒ page 51, fig. 30   indicates the maximum 
engine speed operating at service temperature. However, it is advisable to 
cha nge u p to a  h igh er  gear,  m ove  th e s el e cto r le ve r to D  o r li f t your  fo ot  o f f th e 
accelerator before the needle reaches the red zone.
Caution
The rev counter needle must never enter the red zone on the scale. Risk of 
engine damage.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up into higher gears early will help you to reduce fuel consumption, 
emissions and minimise engine noise.SpeedometerThe speedometer is equipped with a digital odometer and a trip recorder, in 
addition to a service intervals display.
During the running-in period, the instructions shown on  ⇒page 158 should 
be followed.
Digital instrument panel displayFuel gauge 
 z and reserve indicator
Instrument panel: fuel gauge
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 45 litres.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone  ⇒fig. 31 , the warning lamp will 
light and an acoustic signal will sound  reminding the driver to refuel. At this 
point there are still 7 litres of fuel in the tank.Digital clock* – To set the hour, press button   ⇒ page 51, fig. 30. The “hour”

– To set the minutes, press button   again and select the minute 
option. Set from button   “set”.Once the operation has been carried out, the system memorises the time.Outside temperature display
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is 
switched on.In addition to the outside temperature display, an ice crystal is displayed and, 
if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h, a warning tone is heard at temperatures 
dropping from between +4 °C and -7 °C and at temperatures rising from -5 °C 
up to +6 °C.
The illumination of the crystal symbol aims to warn the driver of the risk of 
ice, so that he/she proceeds with due care.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as 
a result of heat coming from the engine.
Recommended gear display* 
This display helps to save fuel.Use the gear display to save fuel. If you are not in the correct gear, a triangle 
will appear next to the gear display indicating whether you should change up 
or down ⇒ fig. 32.

54Multifunction display (MFI)*
The multifunction display (MFI) shows you information on the 
journey and fuel consumption.The multifunction system uses two automatic memories:  1 - Actual 
memory  and 2 - Total memory . The selected memory will be shown 
in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
Selecting a memory
– With the ignition switched on, briefly press button  ⇒fig. 33   
on the windscreen wiper lever to move from one memory to 
another.
Resetting a memory
– Select the memory that you would like to reset.
– Press and hold button   on the windscreen wiper lever for at  least 2 seconds.
The  trip memory 1  collects the travel and consumption rates from the 
moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is 
continued within two hours of switching off the ignition, the new values will 
be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automatically 
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
The  total memory 2  collects the trip data for any number of individual jour-
neys (even if the ignition is switched off for longer than two hours) up to a 
total of 19 hours and 59 minutes travel time or 1999 km distance travelled. 
The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the named values is 
reached.Information in th e multifunction display (MFI)* You can switch between the following displays in the multifunction display 
(MFI) by operating rocker switch  ⇒fig. 34    on the windscreen wiper lever.

Km/h - Driving speed
Driving speed is digitally shown in the display.
min - Journey duration
The display shows the amount of time which has elapsed since the ignition 
was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes. 
The memory will automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Økm/h - Average speed
The average speed will be shown after running a distance of approximately 
100 metres. Until then dashes will appear in the display. The display will be 
updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
km - Distance travelled
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 1999 km. The memory will 
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached. z Km - Fuel range
The fuel range is calculated using the figures for tank content and current fuel 
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference. Ø l/100 km - Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption will be shown after having travelled approxi-
mately 100 metres. Until then dashes will appear in the display. The display 
will be updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in motion. The amount 
of fuel used will not be shown.
l/100 km or l/h - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the 
vehicle is in motion or in litre/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position 
with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion 
⇒page 160.
Outside temperature display
The measurement range extends from -45 °C to +58 °C. At temperatures 
below +4 °C, an ice crystal symbol is displayed and a warning sounds if the 
vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h (ice danger warning). This symbol 
will flash for about 10 seconds and remains lit until the outside temperature 
rises above +4 °C or above 6 °C when on the move if it was already lit.
Set speed indicator
When the required speed has been reached, enter the “Speed warning” 
mode menu and press button   -RESET-. The set speed is memorised. If the 
indicated speed is exceeded at any time, a warning message is displayed on 
the screen and a warning signal sounds.
3)
This may be deactivated by pressing the   button. The speed may be 
altered using the rocker switch   in steps of 5 km/h within 5 seconds of the 
initial memory value.3)Depending on the model version, the message on the screen may vary and may be
represented by flashing of the speed indication or by a speed message.
