Instrument cluster
Introduction
For a full view illustration of the instrument
cluster, see “Instrument cluster”
( Y page 34).
GWarning!
No messages will be displayed if either the
instrument cluster or the multifunction
display is inoperative.
As a result, you will not be able to see
information about your driving conditions,
such as
R speed
R outside temperature
R warning/indicator lamps
R malfunction/warning messages
R failure of any systems
Driving characteristics may be impaired.
If you must continue to drive, do so with added
caution. Contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center as soon as possible.
The language setting for the multifunction
display can be changed via COMAND system
( Y page 99).
Activating the instrument cluster
The instrument cluster is activated when you
R open the driver’s door
R switch on the ignition
R switch on the exterior lamps
Engine oil temperature gauge
The engine oil temperature gauge is located
in the instrument cluster. The engine oil
temperature may rise up to 140† under
normal driving conditions.
! The engine should not be operated with
the engine oil temperature above 140†.
Doing so may cause serious damage which
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
The temperature of the transmission fluid and
coolant are displayed in the AMG menu
( Y page 287).
Tachometer
The red marking on the tachometer
( Y page 34) denotes excessive engine speed.
! Avoid driving at excessive engine speeds,
as it may result in serious engine damage
that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
To help protect the engine, the fuel supply is
interrupted if the engine is operated within
the red marking.
Outside temperature indicator
The outside temperature indicator is
displayed in the multifunction display
( Y page 273).
GWarning!
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the road
surface is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge is on the left-hand side of the
instrument cluster (Y page 34). Once the fuel
level has fallen below the reserve mark, the
yellow fuel tank reserve warning lamp 00B8
for the fuel reserve comes on.
