Speedometer
Turn signal, left
Warning symbol – See the following pages
for additional information.
Information display – The display presents
information and warning messages, the
ambient temperature, clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23 °F and
36 °F (–5 °C and +2 °C), a snowflake sym-
bol is shown in the display. This symbol
serves as a warning for possible slippery
road surfaces. Please note that this symbol
does not indicate a fault with your car. At
low speeds, or when the car is not moving,the temperature readings may be slightly
higher than the actual ambient tempera-
ture.
Information symbol – See the following
pages for additional information.
Turn signal, right
Tachometer – Shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not drive continuously with the needle
in the red area of the dial, which indicates
maximum allowable engine rpm range.
Instead, shift to a higher gear or slow the
vehicle down. The engine management
system will automatically prevent exces-sively high engines speeds. This will be
noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in
engine speed.
Indicator and information symbols
Fuel gauge, see page 273 for fuel tank vol-
ume. When a warning light in the gauge
comes on, the vehicle should be refueled
as soon as possible, see page 69 for
more information on fuel level and con-
sumption in the "Trip computer” section.
High beam indicator
Function display – This window displays
information on functions such as the

odometer, trip odometers, optional rain
sensor, and cruise control.
Trip odometer reset button – The trip
odometers are used to measure short dis-
tances. Press the button briefly to switch
between the odometer for the car's total
mileage and the two trip odometers, T1
and T2. A long press (more than 2 seconds)
resets the currently selected trip odometer.
Temperature gauge – The gauge indicates
the temperature of the engine cooling sys-
tem. If the temperature is abnormally high
and the needle enters the red zone, a mes-
sage is shown in the display. Bear in mind
that auxiliary lamps in front of the air intake
reduce the cooling capacity at high outside
temperatures and high engine loads.

Function check
The indicator and warning symbols1 light up
when you turn the ignition key or the optional
keyless drive start control to the driving posi-
tion (position II) before starting. This shows that
the symbols are functioning.
When the engine starts, all sym-
bols go out. If the engine is not
started within 5 seconds, all of the
symbols except the malfunction
indicator light (CHECK ENGINE)
and the oil pressure warning light
will go out. Certain symbols may
not have their functions illustrated, depending
on the car's equipment.
The PARK BRAKE symbol will not go out until
the parking brake has been released.

panel

to indicate a fault that could affect
the car's drivability.This symbol
illuminates when the vehicle is
traveling at speeds above 5 mph
(7 km/h). A text explaining the nature of the fault
will also be shown in the information display.
The symbol and accompanying text will remain
on until the fault has been corrected. This sym-
bol may also light up in combination with other
indicator or warning symbols.
If the red warning symbol lights up:
1. Stop the car as soon as possible in a suit-
able location.

automatically (the length of time required for
the message to disappear varies, depending
on the function indicated).
