Important safety notes
Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod- els, series and optional equipment for your vehicle that were available at the time of going to press. Country-specific differen- ces are possible. Note that your vehicle may not be fitted with all features descri- bed. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 22).
G WARNING The operating safety of your vehicle could be impaired if maintenance work is carried out incorrectly. This could cause you to lose con- trol of your vehicle and cause an accident. Moreover, the safety systems may no longer be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do. Always have service work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
For an illustration of the instrument cluster, see (Y page 211).
Important safety notes
G WARNING Only use the on-board computer when road and traffic conditions permit. You would oth- erwise be distracted and unable to concen- trate properly on driving, and could cause an accident. G WARNING No messages will be displayed if either the instrument cluster or the multifunction dis- play is inoperative. As a result, you will not be able to see infor- mation about your driving conditions, such as speed, outside temperature, warning and indi- cator lamps, display messages or system fail- ures. Driving characteristics may be impaired. Adjust your driving style and vehicle speed accordingly. Contact a qualified specialist workshop immediately. G WARNING The on-board computer only records and dis- plays malfunctions and warnings from certain systems. For this reason, you should always make sure that your vehicle is safe to use. You could otherwise cause an accident by driving an unsafe vehicle.

Instrument cluster lighting The lighting in the instrument cluster, in the displays and the controls in the vehicle inte- rior can be adjusted using the brightness con- trol knob. The brightness control knob is located on the bottom left of the instrument cluster (Y page 211). X Turn the brightness control knob clockwise
or anti-clockwise. If the light switch is set to Ã, T or L, the brightness is dependent upon the brightness of the ambient light.
i The light sensor in the instrument cluster
automatically controls the brightness of the multifunction display. In daylight, the displays in the instrument cluster are not illuminated.
Displaying the coolant temperature The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the right-hand side (Y page 211). The reading may rise up to 120 † under nor- mal driving conditions if the coolant has been filled correctly. At high outside temperatures and when driv- ing uphill, the coolant temperature may rise to the end of the scale.
Rev counter ! Do not drive in the overrevving range.
Doing so will damage the engine.
The red band in the rev counter indicates the engine's overrevving range.
The fuel supply is interrupted to protect the engine when the red band is reached.
Outside temperature display G WARNING At temperatures just above freezing point, the street may be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges. If you do not adapt your driving style to the conditions, the vehicle could skid. For this reason, adapt your driving style and speed to the weather conditions.
The outside temperature display is in the mul- tifunction display (Y page 214). Changes in the outside temperature are dis- played after a short delay.
Speedometer with segments The segments in the speedometer indicate which speed range is available. RCruise control activated (Y page 173): The segments light up from the stored speed to the maximum speed.
RVariable SPEEDTRONIC activated
(Y page 178): The segments light up from the start of the scale to the selected limit speed.
RDISTRONIC PLUS activated (Y page 184):
One or two segments in the set speed range light up.
RDISTRONIC PLUS detects a vehicle in front:
The segments between the speed of the vehicle in front and the stored speed light up.

Heating Auxiliary heating departure time G WARNING Exhaust fumes are produced when the auxili- ary heating is in operation. Inhaling these exhaust fumes can be poisonous. You should therefore switch off the auxiliary heating in confined spaces without an extraction sys- tem, e.g. a garage. G WARNING When operating the auxiliary heating parts of the vehicle can get very hot. Make sure that the exhaust system does not under any cir- cumstances come into contact with easily ignitable material such as dry grass or fuels. The material could otherwise ignite and set the vehicle alight. Choose your parking spot accordingly. Operating the auxiliary heating is thus pro- hibited at filling stations or when your vehicle is being refuelled. You must therefore switch off the auxiliary heating at filling stations.
! Operating the auxiliary heating/ventila- tion draws on the vehicle battery. After you have heated or ventilated the vehicle a
