Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and harms the environment as
a result of increased emissions.
The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted when the red band is reached.
Outside temperature
You should pay special attention to road condi-
tions when temperatures are around the freez-
ing point.
On vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(

wheel buttons (Ypage 166), the outside tem-
perature display is in the display.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay.
Speedometer
The speed can also be shown in the display. You
can find information on the digital speedometer for vehicles without steering wheel buttons
under (
Ypage 162) and for vehicles with steer-
ing wheel buttons under (Ypage 166).
iIn some countries, a warning sounds when
the vehicle reaches the maximum speed limit,
e.g. at 75 mph (120 km/h).
