Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.

Instruments and controls105Tachometer
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 red warning
zone, the maximum permitted
engine speed is exceeded. Engine at risk.
Fuel gauge
Displays the fuel level or gas content
(CNG) in the tank depending on the current operation mode.
The arrow indicates the vehicle side
where the fuel filler flap is located.
For bi-fuel engines, the Driver
Information Centre displays the fuel l
evel for the fuel type which is currently
not in operation. The fuel level for the fuel type which is currently in
operation is shown in the fuel gauge.
Control indicator r illuminates if the
fuel quantity is low.
For bi-fuel engines: In petrol mode, the control indicator r illuminates
before the needle reaches the red
area.
Refuel immediately if r flashes.
Never run the fuel tank dry.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified fuel tank capacity.
Fuel selector
Natural gas operation (CNG)
Press X to switch between petrol and
natural gas operation.

106Instruments and controlsThe LED status shows the current
operating mode.LED off:petrol operationLED illu‐
minates:natural gas operationLED
flashes for
approx.
five
seconds:fuel mode transition is
selected but switching
is not possibleLED
flashes:fuel mode transition in
process, flashing stops
if transition is completed
Switching is not possible at high loads
(e.g. powerful acceleration, driving at
full throttle).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover inhibitor is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The inhibitor
remains active until the ignition is
switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving style, e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres and high vehicle loads
(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.
The vehicle consumes petrol when
starting the engine and even when in certain natural gas operating modes.The petrol consumption in natural gas
operating mode can vary depending
on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or towing). In case of a low fuel level, a
corresponding message is displayed as a reminder to refuel.
Note
Always ensure that there is enough
petrol in the tank.
Fuel for natural gas operation 3 221.
Forced fuel mode transitionNatural gas tank is running low
As soon as the natural gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged. Manually
engaging natural gas operation mode is not possible until natural gas
refuelling is detected.
Before the petrol fuel system runs empty, a warning message will be
displayed and cannot be dismissed.Petrol tank is running low while
natural gas is available
If the remaining petrol level in the tank falls below a certain level, natural gas
operation is automatically engaged
provided there is a sufficient natural
gas level in the tank. Manually
engaging petrol operation mode is not
possible.
Before both fuel systems run empty,
a warning message will be displayed
and cannot be dismissed.
Engine coolant temperaturegauge
Displays the coolant temperature.

Instruments and controls111Illuminates
Electric parking brake is operating
with degraded performance 3 179.
Flashes
Electric parking brake is in service
mode. Stop vehicle, apply and
release the electric parking brake to
reset.9 Warning
Have the cause of the fault
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Antilock brake system
(ABS)
u illuminates yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on. The system is
ready for operation when the control
indicator extinguishes.
If the control indicator does not go out after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is a fault in the
ABS. The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.
Antilock brake system 3 178.
Gear shifting R or S with the number of a higher or
lower gear is indicated, when up- or
downshifting is recommended for fuel
saving reasons.
Following distance
E indicates the following distance
setting of the alert timing sensitivity
for the forward collision alert using
filled distance bars.
Forward collision alert 3 195.
Lane keep assist
a illuminates green or yellow, or
flashes yellow.
Illuminates green
The system is switched on and ready
to operate.Illuminates yellow
The system approaches a detected
lane marking without using the turn
signal in that direction.
Flashes yellow The system recognizes that the lane
is departed significantly.
Lane keep assist 3 216
Electronic Stability Control off
n illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Electronic Stability Controland Traction Control system
b illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates
A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deterioratedepending on road surface
conditions.

Instruments and controls113Illuminates when the engine is
runningCaution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.
1. Depress clutch.
2. Select neutral gear.
3. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.
9 Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer.
During an Autostop, the brake
servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove key until vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steeringwheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Keep engine turned off and let the
vehicle be towed to a workshop
3 232.
