Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display . Be aware
Driver in forma tion system
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F ( +S °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of acc idents.
(D Tips
- You can select the units used for tempera­
ture, speed and other measurements in the
Infotainment system.
- If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv­
ing at
very low speeds, the temperature dis­
played may be slightly higher than the ac­
tual temperature outside due to the heat ra ­
diating from the engine.
- At temperatures below 41 °F (+S °C), a
snowflake symbol appears in front of the

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.
