Outside temperature indicator (17)

The temperature sensor is located in the front bumper
area. Due to its location, the sensor can be affected by
road or engine heat during idling or slow driving. This
means that the accuracy of the displayed temperature
can only be verified by comparison to a thermometer
placed next to the sensor, not by comparison to external
displays (e.g. bank signs etc.).

Adaption to ambient temperature takes place in steps
and depends on the prevailing driving conditions (stop-
and-go or moderate, constant driving) and amount of
temperature change.

Note:

The unit for the temperature indicator display can be set
in the individual setting menu “INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER” – “TEMP. INDICATOR” on page 121.

Trip odometer (13)

To reset to “0” miles/ km:

Activate the instrument cluster if it is not already
activated, see page 100.

Press button

è or ÿ on the multifunction

steering wheel repeatedly until the trip odometer
appears if it is not displayed. See page 106.

Press button (1) on the instrument cluster, see page 100.

Tachometer (2)

The red marking on the tachometer denotes excessive
engine speed.

Avoid this engine speed, as it may result in serious
engine damage that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

To help protect the engine, the fuel supply is interrupted
if the engine is operated within the red marking.

Warning!

The outside temperature indicator is not designed
to serve as an Ice-Warning Device and is therefore
unsuitable for that purpose. Indicated
temperatures just above the freezing point do not
guarantee that the road surface is free of ice.
