Rev counter
The tachometer
1
» Fig. 17 on page 28 shows the actual engine speed per mi-
nute.
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum per-
mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D / S on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 39.
CAUTION
The rev counter pointer may only move into the red area for a short time - oth-
erwise there is a risk of engine damage!45671)

illuminates in the instrument cluster. An acoustic signal will also sound if
you drive the vehicle above 6 km/h when a door is open.
CAUTION
remove the ignition key when touching the display,(. E.g. when cleaning) (As
regards vehicles with the KESSY system, switch off the ignition and open the
driver's door) - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the display.56789101)

The driving data is displayed in the multifunction display when is ignition is
switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the function that was last selec-
ted before switching off the ignition is displayed.
If vehicles with MAXI DOTdisplay do not show the driving data after switching
on the ignition, select the menu item
MFD
in the main menu and confirm
» page 42 , MAXI DOT display .
On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display, there is an option to fade out the units
and some of the information » page 43, Menu item

.
Note
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is not
indicated in km/h on the display.
Information overview
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment fitted).
Exterior temperature - For vehicles with a MAXI DOT display this information
is always shown.
Driving time - driving time since last clearing the memory.
Current fuel consumption - when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,
the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-
lowing appears --,- km/l).
Average fuel consumption - is calculated continuously since the last clearing
of the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300
m driven.
Range - drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-
pacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more efficiently this value
can increase.
AdBlue ®
range - drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing
AdBlue ®
tank capacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more effi-
ciently this value can increase.
Distance driven - distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Average speed - value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing
the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m
driven.
Current Speed - digital speedometer.
Oil temperature - if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the
symbols are displayed.
Warning when the preset speed is exceeded - allows the setting of a speed
limit where, if exceeded, an acoustic warning signal and a warning message
appears on the display of the instrument cluster.
Warning when exceeding the set speed
The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic
warning signal will sound and the following warning message (MAXI DOT Dis-
