System descriptionRead and observe
on page 14 first.
The inflation of the airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
When the airbags are deployed, they fill with gas and inflate.
A grey white or red, non-harmful gas is released when the airbag is inflated.
This is perfectly normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts. ▶ Front airbag for the driver and the front passenger » page 15.
▶ Side airbags Head-thorax » page 17.
▶ Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster » page 37,

Airbag deployment
Read and observe
on page 14 first.
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. An important role is played by factors
such as the type of object that the vehicle hits (hard/soft), the impact angle, vehicle speed etc.
A decisive factor for the deployment of the airbags is the deceleration which
occurs. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured during the
collision remains below the prescribed reference values specified in the control
unit, the airbags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe
damage to the bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
▶ Driver’s front airbag.
▶ Front passenger airbag.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision. ▶ Head-Thorax side airbag on the crash side.
When an airbag is deployed, the following events occur.
▶ The interior light comes on (if the automatic operation of the interior light is
switched on - switch 
).
▶ The hazard warning lights are switched on.
▶ All doors are unlocked.
▶ The fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.
When there is no air bag deployment?
With minor frontal and side collisions, rear collision, overturning of the vehicle
or vehicle roll-over there is no airbag deployment.

» Fig. 21 . There are now about 1.5 kg of fuel remaining in the tank.
WARNINGIn order for the vehicle systems to function properly and thus to make driv-
ing safe, there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drive until the fuel
tank is completely empty - there is a risk of accidents!
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 en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Tachometer
Read and observe
on page 28 first.
The tachometer

» Fig. 19 on page 28 shows the actual engine speed per mi-
nute.
The beginning of the red scale range of the tachometer indicates the maxi-
mum permitted engine speed of a driven-in and operating warm engine. 
1229Instruments and control lights

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 30.
Avoid high engine speeds during the running-in period and before the engine
has warmed up to the operating temperature.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!

the instrument cluster display for some seconds and the remaining kilometres
are shown after switching on the ignition.
If the time of the service has been reached, an acoustic signal will sound and the message 
 
appears for a few seconds after switching on the ignition.
The information regarding the service intervals can be found in the service
schedule.
Note
Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle
battery is disconnected.
Gear recommendation

Recommended gear
Read and observe on page 28 first.
A correctly engaged gear or, where appropriate, a recommendation to shift up or down is shown in the display.
A correctly engaged gear helps to reduce the fuel consumption and assist the
service life and reliability of the engine.

Outside temperature
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the temperature indicator ap-
pears and a snow flake symbol 
(display for low temperature) flashes for a
few seconds, then remains displayed together with the outside temperature.
Driving time
The time travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
The maximum time displayed is 19 hours and 59 minutes. The indicator is auto-
matically set back to zero if this value is exceeded.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel
consumption.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly the fuel consumption is dis-
played in l/h (on models for some countries the following appears --,- km/l).
Average fuel consumption
The value is calculated continuously from the point the memory was last de-
leted.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
Range
The detail provides information about the distance in km that can be travelled on the current tank, and with the same driving style.
If you drive more efficiently this value can increase.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
The maximum distance that can be displayed is 1999 km. The indicator is auto-
matically set back to zero if this value is exceeded.
Average speed
The value is calculated continuously from the point the memory was last de-
leted.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
Current driving speed
The display is identical to the display on the speedometer.
Coolant temperature
If the coolant temperature is in the range 80-110 °C the engine operating tem-
perature has been reached.If the coolant temperature is below 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine
revs, full throttle and overloading the engine.
Warning against excessive speeds
Set the speed limit, for example, for the maximum permissible speed in town
» page 32 , Warning at excessive speeds .
Warning at excessive speeds
Read and observe
on page 31 first.
The system allows you to set a speed limit and when this is reached, an acous-
tic warning signal sounds. At the same time the message  (warning against
excessive speed) appears on the display with the set limit value.
Adjust the speed limit while the vehicle is stationary
›
Select and confirm the menu item  (warning when speed limit is exceeded).
›
Set the desired speed limit.
›
Confirm the set value, or wait several seconds; your settings will be saved
automatically.
The speed limit can be set in 5 km/h intervals.
Adjusting the speed limit while the vehicle is moving
›
Select and confirm the menu item  (warning when speed limit is exceeded).
›
Drive at the desired speed.
›
Confirm the current speed as the speed limit.
The set speed limit can be manually adjusted later if needed.
Deactivate speed limit
›
Select and confirm the menu item  (warning when speed limit is exceeded).

Multi-function display - Display
example of the memory
Read and observe on page 31 first.
The following data will be saved in two memory banks 1 and 2 .
▶ Average fuel consumption.
▶ Distance driven.
▶ Average speed.
▶ Driving time.
The selected memory is displayed at position
A
» Fig. 25 .
“1” - Single-trip memory
The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if
the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
“2” - Long-term memory
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
