Engine revolutions counter The red zone of the rev counter scale
1 ⇒ fig. 2
indicates the range in which the
engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control unit re-
stricts the engine speed to a 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 driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature ⇒ page 135.For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to reduce the fuel consumption, mini-
mises operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a lon-
ger life and reliability of the engine. 
Speedometer Warning against excessive speeds
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilo-
metres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehi-
cle speed goes below this speed limit.

7 Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge
4 ⇒ fig. 2
operates only when the ignition is
switched on.
Please pay attention to the following guidelines regarding temperature ranges in
order to avoid damage to the engine:
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. Avoid 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 pointer may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temperatures. 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. Please refer to the follow-
ing guidelines ⇒ page 23, Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity  . WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒ page 153, Working in the engine com-
partment before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level. CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine
overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads! 
Fuel gauge The fuel gauge
7 ⇒
 fig. 2
only operates when the ignition is switched on. £1)
Valid for countries where the values are indicated in British measuring units. 11
Instruments and warning lights Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical data

The fuel tank has a capacity of about 45 litres. The warning symbol  in the in-
strument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There
are now about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for
you, that you must refuel
.
The following is displayed in the information display: Please refuel! (Please refuel!)
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
On some vehicles, the fuel gauge is shown in the display of the instrument clus-
ter. CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular supply of fuel can lead to
irregular engine running. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and dam-
age the catalytic converter. 
Counter for distance driven The counter for the distance driven is located in the bottom area of the display.
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measuring unit
“
mile” is used.
Reset button
If you hold the reset button 6 ⇒
 fig. 2
pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter
is set back to zero.
Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since this counter
was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven
The counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilometers or miles
which the vehicle has been driven.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster Error will appear continuously in the
display. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop. WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons! Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the information display the display of the second
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the
counter for the total distance driven. 
Service reminder indicator Fig. 3 Service Interval Display: Note
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ on the
display.
Service Interval Display
Before the next service interval a key symbol  and the remaining kilometres are
indicated after switching on the ignition ⇒ fig. 3. At the same time, a display ap-
pears regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.
The following is displayed in the information display:
Service after ... km or... days. (Service after ... 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.
A flashing key symbol  and the text Service appears in the display for 20 sec-
onds as soon as the due date for the service is reached.

⇒ fig. 4 is shown in the display of the in-
strument cluster.
In order to minimise the fuel consumption, a recommendation for shifting into an-
other gear is indicated in the display.
If the control unit recognises that it is appropriate to change the gear, an arrow Bis shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether it is
recommended to shift into a higher or lower gear.
At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently en-
gaged gear

Fig. 5 Multi-functional indicator
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories. The se-
lected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒ fig. 5.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the dis-
play. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance mem-
ory (memory 2).
Switching over the memory takes place with the button B ⇒ fig. 6
on the wind-
shield wiper lever.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the oth-
er hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual
journeys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1
999 kilometres driv-
en. 99 hours and 59 minutes driving time or 9 999 km driven in vehicles with an
Information display. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached
and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted af-
ter a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected. 14

Fig. 6 Multi-functional indicator: Control
elements
The rocker switch A and the button
B are located on the windshield wiper lever
⇒ fig. 6 .
Selecting the memory
– Short-term pressing of the button B on the windshield wiper lever allows to
select the desired memory.
Selecting the functions
– Press the top or bottom rocker switch A for longer than 0.5 seconds. In this
way, call up in sequence the individual functions of the multi-functional indica-
tor.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button B for more than 1 second.
The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by button B :
● average fuel consumption;
● distance driven;
● average speed;
● Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you
last selected before switching off the ignition. Outside temperature The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4
°C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears in front of the temperature indicator and flashes for
10 seconds, then remains displayed together with the outside temperature. At the
same time an audible signal sounds. After pressing the rocker switch A on the
windshield wiper lever ⇒ fig. 6 , the function which was shown last is indicated. WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature dis-
play that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at temperatures around +4 °C - warning,
drive with care! 
Driving time The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display
⇒ page 14. If you wish to calculate the driving time from a particular
time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing
the button B
⇒  fig. 6
.
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes.
99
hours and 59 minutes in vehicles with an Information display. The indicator is
set back to null if this period is exceeded. 
Current fuel consumption The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption
you wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed.
The indicated value will be updated every 0.5 seconds while you are driving.

Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km
⇒ page 14. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of
time, you must erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
button B on the windshield wiper lever
⇒  fig. 6. A zero appears in the display for
the first approx. 300 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving. Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated. 
Range The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the dis-
tance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the
tank for the same style of driving.
The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for
the fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the
range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range
will be increased accordingly.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consump-
tion of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted
accordingly to the style of driving.

Distance driven The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
⇒ page 14. If you wish to calculate the distance driven as of a particular time, you
must erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing the button
B on the
windshield wiper lever ⇒ fig. 6 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1

999 km or on vehicles with
information display, it is 9 999 km. The indicator is set back to null if this period is
exceeded. Average speed The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour
⇒ page 14. If you wish to determine the average speed over a certain pe-
riod of time, you must erase the memory at the start of the new measurement by
pressing the button B on the windshield wiper lever
⇒ fig. 6.
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memo-
ry.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving. 
