Engine revolutions counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The red scale of the rev counter 1
» Fig. 2 on page 8 indicates the range in which
the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control unit
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolution
counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is fitted
with an automatic gearbox.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 11. For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to lower fuel consumption, minimises
operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life
and reliability of the engine. ÐFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 8.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h.
The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below
this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries. ÐCoolant temperature gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The coolant temperature gauge 4
» Fig. 2 on page 8 operates only when the ig-
nition is switched on. ä
ä
ä The following guidelines regarding the temperature ranges must be observed to
avoid any damage to the engine.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high
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, for a normal style of driving. The pointer may also
move further to the right at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air in-
let impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine
overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads »
page 21,
Coolant temperature/coolant level . Ð Fuel gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The fuel gauge 6
» Fig. 2 on page 8 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve mark-
ing » page 24. CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! An irregular supply of fuel can
lead to irregular engine running. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system
and damage the catalytic converter. £

Switching over the memory using the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the wind-
screen wiper lever or using the adjustment wheel D
on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to
a total of 19
hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi-
cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and
59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei-
ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after 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. ÐOperation
