Instrument cluster
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.
The speed is indicated in the instrument
cluster for the driver (
컄 page 23) and in
the roof lining for the rear seat passen-
gers (
컄 pages 31, 33, 35 or 37).
The segments in the speedometer of the
instrument cluster show you which speed
range is available to you.
앫 Cruise control operation:
Segments come on from the stored
speed to the maximum speed.
앫 Distronic** operation:
One or two segments come on in the
range for the stored speed.
The time is indicated in the instrument
cluster for the driver in the tachometer
display (
컄 page 23) and in the roof lining
for the rear seat passengers
(
컄 pages 31, 33, 35 or 37).
You can adjust the clock using the
COMAND system. Refer to the separate
COMAND and Rear-Cabin Audiovisual
System operating instructions.
