Instrument cluster
Points to remember
You will find an illustration of the instrument cluster in the "At a glance" section more.
 | Risk of accident |
|
If the instrument cluster or the multi-function display fails, no messages can be displayed.
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 handling characteristics may be affected. Adapt 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.

Clock

Speedometer with segments
The segments in the speedometer indicate which speed range is available.
Distronic* mode:
One or two segments around the stored speed light up.
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.
|
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.
