Points to remember

You will find an illustration of the instrument cluster in the "At a glance" section more.

Risk of accident

No further messages can be displayed if the instrument cluster and/or the multi-function display fails. This means that you will not see information about the driving situation, such as the speed, outside temperature, warning/indicator lamps, display messages or system failures. The vehicle's handling characteristics may be affected. Adjust your driving style and speed accordingly. Immediately consult a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

 

Activating the multi-function display

Switch on the ignition.

Reset button

The multi-function display is also activated when you:

• switch on the lights

• press reset button

• open the driver's door

 

Adjusting the instrument cluster lighting

	Brighter or dimmer: briefly turn reset button clockwise or anti-clockwise to the stop and release.
	The brightness of the instrument cluster lighting changes by one level. There are several possible levels.

 

Coolant temperature gauge

The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the left-hand side. Under normal operating conditions and with the specified concentration of antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor, the coolant temperature may rise to 120 The coolant temperature may rise to the top end of the scale at high outside temperatures and on long uphill stretches.

 

Resetting the trip meter

	Select the standard display menu more.
	Press and hold the reset button on the left-hand side of the instrument cluster until the trip meter is reset.

 

Rev counter

The red band in the rev counter indicates the engine's overrevving range. The fuel supply is interrupted to protect the engine when the red band is reached.

Do not drive in the overrevving range. Doing so will damage the engine.

	Environmental note
Avoid driving at high engine speeds, as this increases your vehicle's consumption unnecessarily and pollutes the environment through increased emissions.

 

Clock

On vehicles without an audio system or with Audio 5*/Audio 20* installed, you can set the time using the on-board computer more.

Vehicles with a navigation system* (Audio 50 APS* or COMAND APS*): your navigation system* receives the time from a GPS satellite. You must set the time zone once on your Audio 50 APS* or COMAND APS*. Refer to the separate Operating Instructions for notes on how to do this.

 

Outside temperature display

	Risk of accident
The road surface may be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges, even if temperatures are just above freezing point. The vehicle could skid if you fail to adapt your driving style. You should therefore always adapt your driving style and speed to suit the weather conditions.

There is a short delay before a change in outside temperature is displayed.
