Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev
olutions per minute (RPM) .
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum permissible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in
and when it is warm. Before reaching the red
zone, you should shift into the next higher gear,
choose the Dor S selector lever position, or re
move your foot from the accelerator pedal.
@ Note
The needle in the tachometer may only be in
the red area of the gauge for a short per iod of
time or there is a risk of damaging the engine .
The location where the red zone begins varies
depending on the engine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re
duce operating noise.

-Time and date ~page 174
-Average consumption
-Range
- Short-term memory overv iew
- Long-term memory overview
The short -term memory collects driving informa
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un
til it is switched off. If you continue driving with·
in two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur
rent trip information .
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa
tion yourself .
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown us
ing a bar graph . The average consumption stored
in the short-term memory is also displayed. If
the bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel
through one of the following functions:
- Recuperation : electrical energy can be stored in
the vehicle battery when the vehicle is coasting or driving downhill. The bar will move toward
CJ .

Rolling code programming
Appl ies to: ve hicles with garage door opener (Homeli nk)
On some systems, programming a rolling code is
also necessary .
Identifying a rolling code
~ Press the button in the control un it that is al
ready programmed again and hold it down.
~ Watch the green LED@¢ page 33, fig. 28. If
the green
LED blinks quickly, the system (such
as a garage door) has a rolling code .
~ Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the system motor unit
~ Locate the programming button on the system
motor unit. The exact locat ion and color of the
button may vary depend ing on the system man
ufacture r's brand .
~ Press the programming button on the system
motor unit (usually th is w ill activate a "display"
on the motor unit). You now have approximate
ly 30 seconds to program the button in the
contro l pane l.
Programming the button in the control
panel
~ Press the previously programmed button in the
contro l pane l for 2 seconds.
~ To complete ro lling code programming, press
the button again for 2 seconds.
~ On some systems, the button m ight need to be
pressed a third time to end the programming
procedure .
After programming, the system should recognize
the signal and operate when the button in the
control panel is pressed . Now you may program
the other buttons as needed .
(D Tips
- The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person .
- If any diff icu lties occur when programming
the rolling code, it may be helpful to read
the system operating manual.

Ill co
-Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set . This could result in a crash .
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear.
If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev
er to the P position .
- To decrease the risk of an accident, these
lector lever must be in the P position and
the parking brake must be set before open
ing the hood and working on a running en
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings¢
page 244, Working in the en
gine compartment.
{[) Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the
N position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter.
@ Tips
- Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the
Dynamic driving
mode. The Infotainment display shows 5 as
the selector lever position instead of D.
- If you accidentally select N while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting Dor 5 .
- If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the P position. The

The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through N, for example from R to D. This
makes it possible to free the vehicle when it is
stuck by "rocking" it. The selector lever lock en
