(!) Tips
The needles in the instrument cluster illu­
minate when the ignition is switched on.
The dials also illuminate when the lights
are switched on . The instrument illumina­
tion dims automatically as the amount of light outside decreases . This funct ion re- minds
the driver to turn the headlights on
at the appropriate time.
Setting the time/date

er's manual for instructions.

Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute .
The beginning of the red zone in the tachome­
ter indicates the maximum permiss ible en­
g ine speed for all gears once the engine has
been broken in and when it is warmed up to
operat ing temperature. You shou ld select the
"D/S" (Drive) selecto r lever pos ition or take
your foot off the accelerator peda l before
reaching th is area .
It is best to avoid high engine speeds, even
when dr iv ing in tiptron ic mode ~
page 114 .
(D Note
The tachometer needle
(D ¢ page 10,
fig. 3
shou ld only be in the red zone brief­
ly: otherwise, this increases the risk of en­
gine damage.

page 10, fig . 3.
Outside temperature display
The instrument cluster display shows the out­
s ide temperature. At temperatu res below
41 °F (+S °C), a snowf lake symbol appears in
front of the temperature display .
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv­
ing at very low speeds, the temperature d is­
played may be slightly higher than the actual
temperatu re outs ide due to the heat rad iating
from the engine.
,&. WARNING
N eve r assume that the roads a re free of ice
based on the outside temperature display.
Be awa re that there may be ice on roads
even when the outside temperature is
around 41 °F ( +S °C) and that ice can in­
crease the risk of accidents.
