Tachometer
The red marking on the tachometer de-
notes excessive engine speed.
To help protect the engine, the fuel supply 
is interrupted if the engine is operated 
within the red marking.
Outside temperature indicator
The outside temperature is displayed in 
the left or right multifunction display 
(
page 26), depending on the setting 
The temperature sensor is located in the 
front bumper area. Due to its location, the 
sensor can be affected by road or engine 
heat during idling or slow driving. There-
fore, the accuracy of the displayed temper-
ature can only be verified by comparison to 
a thermometer placed next the sensor, not 
by comparison to external displays, e.g. 
bank signs, etc.
When moving the vehicle into colder ambi-
ent temperatures (e.g. when leaving your 
garage), you will notice a delay before the 
lower temperature is displayed. 
A delay also occurs when ambient temper-
atures rise. This prevents inaccurate tem-
perature indications caused by heat 
radiated from the engine during idling or 
slow driving.
!
Avoid driving at excessive engine speeds, as 
it may result in serious engine damage that is not 
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited 
Warranty.
Warning!
G
The outside temperature indicator is not de-
signed to serve as an ice-warning device and 
is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the freez-
ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-
face is free of ice. The road may still be icy, 
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
