Storage83hinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment. In addition, the
number plate is only
distinguishable and illuminated correctly if the doors are closed.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 210) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
Weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
200 kg for H1 Roof height
variants and 150 kg for H2 Roof
height variants (excludes
Platform cab conversions). The
roof load is the combined weight
of the roof rack and the load.

Displays the recorded distance.
Trip odometer The trip odometer appears below the
odometer in the Driver Information
Centre and displays the distance
travelled since the last reset.
To reset, with the trip odometer
displayed, press and hold button on
end of wiper lever for a few seconds
with the ignition on. The display will
flash and the value will reset to zero.
Driver Information Centre 3 103.
Tachometer
Displays the engine speed.
Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.
Caution
If the needle is in the yellow
warning zone, the maximum
permitted engine speed is
exceeded. Engine at risk.
Fuel gauge
Displays fuel level in the tank.
The arrow indicates the vehicle side
where the fuel filler flap is located.
Control indicator Y also illuminates in
instrument cluster 3 94 when fuel
level is low (range of approx. 50 km):
refuel immediately 3 161.
Never run the tank dry.
Diesel fuel system, bleeding 3 174.
Instruments and controls93Note
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
5 l) to ensure accurate readings.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
AdBlue level indicator
The current AdBlue percentage
remaining can be shown in the Driver
Information Centre 3 103.
Press button on end of wiper lever
repeatedly until the 'AdBlue
percentage remaining' menu is
displayed.
Level warnings
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 103. Additionally, control
indicator Y 3 101 illuminates
continuously together with a warning
chime.
Refill the AdBlue tank as soon as
possible.
AdBlue 3 142.
Fuel economy gauge
Depending on version, the fuel
economy gauge (or 'driving style
indicator') provides an instantaneous
calculation of fuel efficiency based on
current driving style.
The gauge uses colours to indicate
current fuel efficiency:
Green:best fuel economy is being achievedYellow:driving style too
aggressiveOrange:least efficient fuel
economy
94Instruments and controlsThe fuel economy gauge is enabled
by default.
Depending on version, the fuel
economy gauge (or 'driving style
indicator') can be disabled via the
Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment manual for further
information.
Service display When the ignition is switched on, theremaining distance before the next
service is due may be shown briefly in
the Driver Information Centre. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
The 'distance before service' display
can also be shown by pressing button on end of wiper lever for approx.
5 seconds.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than
1500 km or one month, a message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.When the distance reaches 0 km or
the service date is due, control
indicator j illuminates in the
instrument cluster and the Driver
Information Centre respectively, and
a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Resetting the service display After a service, the service display
must be reset:
Select the 'distance before service'
display in the Driver Information
Centre by pressing button repeatedly
on the end of the wiper lever, then
press and hold button for approx.
10 seconds until the 'distance before
service' is displayed continuously, i.e. the display no longer flashes.
On some vehicles, it may be
necessary to press and hold the
button twice. In this event, proceed as follows:
After selecting the 'distance before
service' display, press and hold
button for approx. 10 seconds until
the 'distance before service' flashes inthe display. Then press and hold
button again for approx. 10 seconds
to reset the service interval.
If control indicator j does not
extinguish from the instrument
cluster, drive a minimum of 15 km then switch off ignition for at least
1 minute before repeating procedure.
