Revolutions counterRead and observe
on page 30 first.
The tachometer
1
» Fig. 23 on page 30 shows the actual engine speed per
minute.
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum per-
mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 43.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!
Speedometer
Read and observe
on page 30 first.
The speedometer
2
» Fig. 23 on page 30 displays the current speed.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/
h 1)
. The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls be-
low 120 km/h.
Coolant temperature gaugeFig. 24
Coolant temperature gauge
Read and observe on page 30 first.
The display » Fig. 24 provides information on the engine coolant temperature.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
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 middle of the scale
A
» Fig. 24 . At very high ambient tempera-
tures or heavy engine 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 36.
CAUTION
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

If the  symbol is shown in the MAXI DOT display, you must have your vehicle
checked immediately by a specialist garage. The information about the maxi-
mum permissible engine speed is displayed together with this symbol.
 Water in the fuel filter (diesel engine)
The fuel filter with water separator, filters out dirt and water from the fuel.
If too much water is present in the separator, the following information ap-
pears on the instrument cluster display.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display .
Water in fuel filter. Owner's manual!
The following message appears only in the segment display. FUEL FILTER SEE MANUAL
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
 Automatic DSG gearbox couplings too hot
A  symbol in the MAXI DOT display indicates that the temperature of the au-
tomatic gearbox DSG clutches is too high.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Gearbox overheating. Stop! Owner's manual!

Do not continue to drive! Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and wait
until the  icon goes out – risk of gearbox damage! You can continue your
journey as soon as the symbol disappears.
WARNINGIf you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard
warning light system » page 68. The warning triangle must be set up at
the prescribed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing
so.
Note
■ If the MAXI DOT display shows warning messages, these messages must be
confirmed in order to access the main menu » page 42, Using the information
system .■
As long as the operational faults are not rectified, the symbols are always in-
dicated again. After they are displayed for the first time, the symbols continue
to be indicated without any extra messages for the driver.

The warning lights indicate certain functions or faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
WARNING■ Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury
or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 68. The warning triangle must be set up at the pre-
scribed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.

permanently lit if
the driver and front passenger have not fastened their seat belts within the
next 90 seconds.
35Instruments and Indicator Lights

If the warning light  flashes again after the engine has started, there is a
system error.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The following reasons can explain the warning light 
being illuminated.
› The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
› The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
› Snow chains are mounted.
› A wheel has been changed.
Save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 158.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light  can be delayed or does not light up at all.
Note
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning
light  comes on after switching on the ignition. If the indicator light does not
go out after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error in the
system. Seek help from a specialist garage.
 Windscreen washer fluid level
