and all standard and optional equipment of

Important safety notes

You will find an illustration of the instrument
cluster in the "At a glance" section
( page 24).
Y
G
Risk of accident
Only use the on-board computer when road
and traffic conditions permit. You would oth-
erwise be distracted and unable to concen-
trate properly on driving, and could cause an
accident.
G
Risk of accident
If the instrument cluster or multifunction dis-
play 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.
Handling characteristics may be affected.
Adapt your driving style and speed accord-
ingly.
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.
G
Risk of accident
The on-board computer only records and dis-
plays malfunctions and warnings from certain
systems. For this reason, you should always
make sure that your vehicle is safe to use. You
could otherwise cause an accident by driving
an unsafe vehicle.
G
Risk of accident and injury
The operating safety of your vehicle could be
jeopardised if maintenance work is carried
out incorrectly. As a result, you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
In addition, the safety systems may no longer
be able to protect you or others as they are
designed to do.
Always have maintenance work carried out at
a qualified specialist workshop. The qualified
specialist workshop must have the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

instrument cluster on the left-hand side.
Under normal operating conditions and with
the specified coolant level, the coolant tem-
perature 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.

Rev counter

The red band in the rev counter indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
