WARNING
● Always keep your attention on driving! As the driver, you have the full
responsibility for the safety of traffic.
● Never use the instrument panel controls when the vehicle is in mo-
tion. Do so only when the vehicle is stopped!

Rev counter
The red part of the rev counter scale 1 ⇒ Fig. 31 ⇒ 
page 57 marks the zone
where the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine
control unit is responsible for reducing the revs to a safe limit.
Before the needle reaches the red zone change up into a higher gear, or
move the selector lever of the automatic gearbox to D.
In order to drive at an optimum RPM, respect the gear change indications

For the sake of the environment
Changing to higher gears in advance helps to reduce fuel consumption and
noise levels, helps to protect the environment and benefits both the useful
life and the reliability of the engine. 
Speedometer
Speed warning
An audible warning will be heard on exceeding 120 km/h (75 mph). If the
speed falls below this limit, the audible warning switches off.
Note
This function is only valid for certain countries. 
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge 4
⇒  Fig. 31
⇒ page 57 only works when
the ignition is switched on.
Damage to the engine can be avoided by observing the indications regard-
ing the temperature zones.
Engine cold
If the needle is still on the left of the scale, the engine has not yet reached
operating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds, hard acceleration and
submitting the engine to high loads.
Operating temperature zone
When the needle has reached the central part of the scale, this means the
engine has reached operating temperature. Running the engine at full throt- tle and the high temperatures involved can cause the needle to be posi-
tioned in the zone on the right.
CAUTION
The additional headlights and other parts placed in front of the fresh air in-
lets reduce the effect of engine cooling. With high outside temperatures
and engine speeds a risk becomes present of the engine overheating
⇒  page 72, Coolant level and temperature . 
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge 7 ⇒ Fig. 31 ⇒ 
page 57 operates only when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 litres. When the needle reaches
the reserve area, the warning symbol  ⇒ page 75 lights up on the gener-
al instrument panel and an audible warning can be heard.
CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregularity in the fuel supply system
can cause irregularities when the engine is running. Unburned fuel can
reach the exhaust gas system, which can cause deterioration of the catalytic
converter.
Note
Some vehicles come fitted with the fuel gauge on the general instrument
panel. 

68Controls and displays
Door, rear lid or bonnet open indicator
If at least one of the doors, rear lid or bonnet is open, a symbol is shown on
the informative display indicating that the door, rear lid or bonnet con-
cerned is open.
An audible warning is also given simultaneously if the vehicle is being driv-
en at a speed of above 6 km/h (4 mph). 
Auto-check system
Vehicle status
When the ignition is switched on, some vehicle functions such as the condi-
tion of its systems are automatically checked.
The warning messages about eventual faults in addition to other informa-
tion is displayed on the informative display. This information is displayed
together with their respective symbols on the informative display or by
warning lamps that light up on the general instrument panel ⇒ page 69.
The option, Vehicle status, appears in the menu when at least one warning
message is present. The first of the warnings given is displayed upon se-
lecting this option. If there is more than one message present, this is dis-
played on the screen, i.e. 1/3. This means that the warning currently dis- played is the first of a total of three.
