The instrument cluster gives the driver basic information such as the current
speed, engine speed, the state of some vehicle systems and the like.
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster, the following message will appear
in the display.
Error: instrument cluster. Workshop!COMBI-INSTRUM_ WORKSHOP
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNINGConcentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for road safety.
Note
■ If the message SAFE CP appears in the instrument cluster display, the compo-
nent protection for the instrument cluster is active. Further information
» page 132 , Component protection .■
With the ignition switched on the instruments are also illuminated. The
brightness of the instrument illumination is set automatically depending on
the ambient lighting throughout.

The tachometer
1
» Fig. 20 on page 28 or » Fig. 21 on page 28 shows the ac-
tual engine speed per minute.
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.
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 39.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!

Coolant temperature gauge
Read and observe on page 28 first.
Applies to cars with the instrument cluster - Version 1 » Fig. 20 on page 28 .
The display » Fig. 23 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. 

1)
Applies only to the segment display (instrument cluster - version 2).
29Instruments and Indicator Lights

The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale A
» Fig. 23 .
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high.
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.
Note
On vehicles with the multifunction display, the coolant temperature can be
shown on the display by the corresponding driving data entry being selected
» page 40 , Information overview .

Fuel gauge types » Fig. 24
Display in the instrument cluster - Version 1
In the display of the instrument cluster - Version 2
The display provides information on the fuel level in the container.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres.
The reserve zone is indicated by the red area of the scale » Fig. 24 -  or by
displaying only the last two segments of the scale » Fig. 24 -  in the magnify-
ing glass.
The warning light lights up when the amount of fuel reaches the reserve zone
 » page 35 .WARNINGFor the vehicle systems to function correctly, and thus for safe driving,
there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drain the fuel tank com-
pletely – risk of accident!
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.
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 indi-
cates approx. 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.
