Controls in detail
Instrument cluster
The red marking on the tachometer de-
notes excessive engine speed.
To help protect the engine, the fuel sup-
ply is interrupted if the engine is operat-
ed within the red marking.
The outside temperature is indicated in
the instrument cluster for the driver
(
page 25) and in the roof lining
for the rear seat passengers
( pages 33, 35 or 37). For information
on how to select the unit of the dis-
played temperature, i.e. degrees
Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F),
see "Selecting temperature display
mode" page 175).
Due to its location, the sensor can be af-
fected by road or engine heat during
idling or slow driving. Therefore, the ac-
curacy of the displayed temperature can
only be verified by comparison to a ther-
mometer placed next to the sensor, not
by comparison to external displays (e.g.
bank signs etc.).
When moving the vehicle into colder am-
bient temperatures (e.g. when leaving
your garage), you will notice a delay be-
fore the lower temperature is displayed.
A delay also occurs when ambient tem-
peratures rise. This prevents inaccurate
temperature indications caused by heat
radiated from the engine during idling
or slow driving.

Outside temperature indicator
Warning! G
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that pur-
pose.
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.
