The coolant temperature gauge is in the
instrument cluster on the left-hand side.
Under normal operating conditions and with
the specified coolant level, the coolant
temperature may rise to 248 ‡ (120 †).

!

If the coolant temperature is too high a

display message is shown.
If the coolant temperature rises above
248 ‡(120 †), do not drive any further as
this could damage the engine.

Tachometer

The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.

!

Do not drive in the overrevving range, as

this could damage the engine.

The fuel supply is interrupted to protect the
engine when the red band is reached.

Outside temperature display

The outside temperature display is in the
multifunction display.

G

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. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.

Changes in the outside temperature are
displayed after a short delay.

Operating the on-board computer

The on-board computer is activated as soon
as you turn the key to position

2 in the ignition

lock.
You can control the multifunction display and
the settings in the on-board computer using

the buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel.
