WARNING
Only use the adjustment buttons on the
instrument cluster when the traffic conditions
permit. You would otherwise be too distracted
and could cause an accident.
Do not reach through the steering wheel to
operate the adjustment buttons. The
movement of the steering wheel would be
significantly impeded. Your attention would
also be diverted from road and traffic
conditions. This could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle, and lead to an accident.
Do not rest your head or chest on the steering
wheel or dashboard when operating the
adjustment buttons.
You will find page references for further
information in the index under "Air bag".
You will find a full overview of the instrument
cluster in the "At a glance" section
(Y page 27).

i
In some countries, a warning sounds
when the vehicle reaches the maximum
speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph (120 km/h).
The speed can also be shown in the display.
You can find information on the digital
speedometer for vehicles without steering
wheel buttons under (Y page 75) and for
vehicles with steering wheel buttons under
(Y page 80).
Tachometer
The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is
interrupted when the red band is reached.
!
Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine.
%Environmental information
Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel
consumption of your vehicle and harms the
environment as a result of increased
emissions.
