Instruments and controls
Combined instrument panel
1. Temperature gauge
Displays the temperature of the engine cool-
ing system. If the temperature is abnormally
high and the needle enters the red zone, a
message is shown in the display. Bear in
mind that extra lamps in front of the radiator
grille reduce the cooling capacity at high out-
side temperature and high engine loads.
2. Display
Information and warning messages are
shown in the display.
3. Speedometer
Shows the speed of the car.
4. Trip odometer, T1 and T2
The trip odometers are used for measuring
short distances. The right-hand digit displays
tenths of a kilometre. Press the button for
more than 2 seconds to reset. Switch
between trip odometers with one quick press
of the button.
5. Cruise control indicator

Indicates engine speed in thousands of revo-
lutions per minute (RPM). Do not allow the
needle of the tachometer to enter the red
field.
10. Automatic gearbox indicator
The selected gearshift programme is dis-
played here. If you have Geartronic automatic
gearbox and drive using the manual function,
the current manual gear is displayed.
11. Outside temperature gauge
Displays outside temperature. When the tem-
perature lies between +2 °C to –5 °C, a
snowflake symbol is shown in the display.
This symbol serves as a warning for slippery
road surfaces. When the car is or was sta-
tionary, the outside temperature gauge may
display a higher reading than the actual tem-
perature.
