Revolution counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 10.
The red scale of the revolution counter
1
» Fig. 2 on page 10 indicates the range
in which the system begins to limit the engine speed. The system automatically
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolution
counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
Follow the recommended gear to prevent engine speeds that are too high or too
low » page 24 .

11Instruments and Indicator Lights

Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and
high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or heavy en- gine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too high. Further information » page 16,   Coolant .
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet im-
pair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.

Instrument cluster with the MAXI DOT display
Instrument cluster with the segment display
The fuel gauge only works if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning light lights up when the amount of fuel reaches the reserve zone  » page 19 .
The reserve zone is indicated by the red area of the scale » Fig. 5 -  or by display-
ing only the last two segments of the scale » Fig. 5 -  in the magnifying glass.
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine
and the exhaust system.
Note
■ After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.■
The arrow  next to the icon  within the fuel gauge displays the installation
location of the fuel filler on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

Information overview
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 25.
The amount of information displayed may differ depending on the equipment.
Outside temperature
The current outside temperature is displayed.
For vehicles with a MAXI DOT display this information is always shown.
Driving time
The time travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
If you want to measure the time travelled from a particular moment in time, reset
the memory to zero at that point in time » page 25, Memory .
The maximum time indicated in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes and on vehicles which are fitted with a MAXI DOT display, it is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is displayed in litres/100 km 1)
. You can use this
information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel consumption.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is displayed in
litres/100 km 1)
.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of time, you must set the memory at the start of the new measurement tozero » page 25 , Memory . After erasing the memory, no value is displayed until you
have driven approx. 300 m.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Range
The range indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the level of fuel in the tank and with the same style of driving as before.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light 
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the information.The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), a fuel consumptionof 10 l./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is updated ac-
cording to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
If you want to measure the distance travelled from a particular moment in time,
reset the memory to zero at that moment in time » page 25, Memory .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1 999 km or 9 999 km on vehicles with a MAXI DOT display. The indicator is set back to zero if this period is
exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is displayed in km/hour .
To determine the average speed over a certain period of time, set the memory to
zero at the start of the measurement » page 25, Memory .
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven. 1)
On some models in certain countries, the display appears in kilometres/litre.
2)
On some models in certain countries, – -.- km/ltr. is displayed when the vehicle is stationary.
