Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below approximately +4°C (+39°F), the temperature display also shows a snowflake symbol
. This symbol remains lit until the outside temperature rises above +6°C( +43°F). In the following situation, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
- When the vehicle is stationary.
- When the auxiliary heater is being used.
- When travelling at very low speeds.
The measuring range is between -45°C (-49°F) and +76°C (+169°F).
WARNING
Roads may be icy at low outside temperatures, also above freezing. There is an increased risk of accidents on icy roads. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.
- Drive with particular care if the symbol is displayed on the instrument cluster display.
- Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather and road or traffic conditions.
- Never rely only on the outside temperature display.
Gear-change indicator
While the vehicle is in motion, the digital instrument cluster may show which gear should be selected to reduce fuel consumption (→ Gear-change indicator).
Open doors, bonnet and boot lid
The digital instrument cluster indicates if any doors, the bonnet or boot lid are open once the vehicle has been unlocked and while the vehicle is in motion. In some cases, an acoustic warning is also given.
Speed warning for winter tyres
A display in the digital instrument cluster indicates when you have exceeded the set maximum speed. Speed warning settings can be made in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Winter tyres).
Compass display
If the Compass secondary display is activated, the current compass direction in which you are driving is shown as a blue arrow with a representation of the vehicle in combination with a compass.
Radiator fan run-on
This display appears after the vehicle ignition has been switched off if the radiator fan is in after-run mode. An after-run time of the radiator fan may be caused by the following:
- Exhaust gas treatment, e.g. during particulate filter regeneration.
- Active brake cooling after driving down hills.
- Dissipation of engine heat after vehicle operation under high loads, e.g. trailer towing.
Engine code
- Open the Service menu (→ Service menu).
- Select the Engine code menu option.
Navigation information
When route guidance is active, the Navigation information secondary displays an arrow to indicate the direction of travel. An arrow after the entry in the configuration menu links to a submenu. The submenu contains the home address and a list of recent destinations. You can start route guidance using the 
button.

- A list of recent calls is displayed in the submenu. The list can be used to call the contacts shown.

The selected position and, depending on the driving profile, the selected gear are displayed both on the selector lever and in the digital instrument cluster. The gear shift pattern is displayed in the instrument cluster upon actuation of the brake or selector lever.
Destination information
When route guidance is active, the Destination information secondary display shows the expected journey time and the distance to the destination.
- Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore change
automatically when the user account is changed. - Some notifications in the digital instrument cluster may be overridden by sudden events, e.g. incoming telephone calls.
- Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment system.
Rev counter
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used in each gear when the engine is warm and after it has been run in properly. You should change up a gear, select selector lever position D/S or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle reaches the red zone.
NOTICE
Heavy loads on the engine, particularly when the engine is cold, can cause engine damage.
- When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the engine.
- The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may otherwise be incurred.
Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.
Digital fuel gauge
WARNING
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular and lead to the engine stuttering or stalling, especially when driving up or down hills and inclines. This can cause breakdowns in traffic, accidents and serious or fatal injuries. The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if the engine stalls due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.
- Make sure that the fuel tank is always sufficiently full.
- Always refuel when the fuel tank is only 1/4 full.
NOTICE
Irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust system.
- Never run the fuel tank completely dry.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle on which the tank flap is located.
