Instrument explanations to fig. 11:
(1) Speedometer
(2) Tachometer (shows engine revolutions per minute in thousands, when the engine is running).
The red zone at the end of the scale indicates maximum permissible engine rpm (revolutions per minute) for all gears after the break-in period. Before reaching this region, select the next
higher selector level position (D), or ease your foot off the accelerator ⇒ .
(3) Displays
(4) Reset button for the trip odometer display (trip) and button to display the engine code.
– Push and hold the 0.0 button about 1 second in order to reset to zero.
– Push the 0.0 button again and hold it for about 3 seconds to display the previous value.
– Push and hold the 0.0 button for more than 10 seconds to display the vehicle's engine code. You must do this when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running.
(5) Fuel gauge
(6) Engine coolant temperature display.
NOTICE
x To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.
x To help prevent engine damage, the tachometer needle should only enter the red zone (warning zone) briefly.
Up-shifting early into the next higher gear saves fuel and reduces engine noise.
Applicable only in Canada

Warning and information texts
The status of various vehicle functions and components is monitored when the ignition is switched on and while driving. Malfunctions are indicated by red and yellow warning symbols with text messages in
the instrument cluster display (⇒ Instrument cluster and instrument panel). In some cases, they may also be signaled acoustically. The display can vary depending on the instrument cluster model.

Type of notification Symbol color Explanation
Priority 1 warning message Red Symbol flashing or lit – sometimes with acoustic warnings.

NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.
The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary depending on the vehicle model and engine version. For displays without warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are displayed for several seconds in order of importance. The symbols are displayed until the cause has been corrected.

Menu Function
Hybrid Shows the current energy flow for hybrid vehicles ⇒ page 460.
Tire pressure Display of current tire pressures in vehicles with direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Display since start
Display and storage of the driving and fuel consumption data compiled from the time the ignition is switched on to the time it is switched off. If the journey is continued within two hours after the ignition is switched off, the information from the new leg of the journey is counted as well. The memory is automatically cleared if the vehicle is not driven for more than two hours.
Display since refuel Display and storage of driving and fuel consumption data. The memory is automatically cleared when the vehicle is fueled again.
Display long-term Display and storage of the accumulated driving and fuel consumption data of any number of single trips up to a total driving time of either 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours and 59 minutes, and up to a total distance of either 1,999.9 miles (1,999.9 km) or 9,999 miles (9,999 km), depending on the instrument cluster version. If one of the stored values is exceeded, then the memory is automatically cleared and starts again from 0.
Digital speed Switch the digital speed on or off. Shows the current vehicle speed in digital form.
Back The display switches back to the main menu.
Possible displays

Submenu Function
Travel time Driving time in hours (h) and minutes (min) corresponding to trip memories 1 and 2 (toggle).
Current consumption Current fuel consumption in miles per gallon (l/100 km) while driving. When units are set to miles, dashes appear instead of a number when the engine is running and the vehicle is standing still. When units are set to kilometers, the display shows liters consumed per hour when the engine is running and the vehicle is standing still.
Average consumption Average fuel consumption in miles per gallon (l/100 km) on trips per trip memories 1 and 2 (toggle) is displayed once the vehicle has been driven about 330 feet (100 m). Until then, dashes appear instead of a number. The value displayed is updated every 5 seconds.
Range Estimated distance in miles (km) that the vehicle can go with the fuel left in the tank the way you are currently driving. Takes account of the current fuel consumption, among other things.
Distance Distance driven in miles (km) from the time the ignition was switched on.
Average speed The average speed is displayed after the ignition is switched on and the vehicle has been driven about 300 feet (100 m). Up to this point, dashes appear instead of a number. The value displayed is updated every 5 seconds.
