Speedometer
In vehicles with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC,
there are illuminated segments on the speedome-
ter dial.
These segments show you what speed range is
available:
R
Variable limiter activated (
/
page 153)
The segments light up from the start of the
scale to the selected limit speed.
R
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC switched on
(
/
page 154)
One or two segments light up in the saved
speed range.
R
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC detects a
vehicle in front.
The segments light up from the speed of the
vehicle in front up to the saved speed.
You can show the speed as a digital speedometer
on the display as well.
If you change your vehicle's wheel size, check its
assignment to the wheel size group (
/
page 241).
If the assignment changes without recoding the
control units in the vehicle, the speedometer will
not display the speed accurately. The current vehi-
cle speed may then be higher than the speed
shown by the speedometer. Driving and driving
safety systems may then be operationally impaired
or may detect a malfunction and switch them-
selves off.
In some countries, an audible signal will sound
and/or a message will appear on the display when
the vehicle reaches the maximum speed permitted
by law, e.g. at 120 km/h.
Outside temperature display
You should pay special attention to road conditions
when temperatures are around freezing point.
The outside temperature is shown on the instru-
ment cluster display (
/
page 173).
Changes in the outside temperature will be dis-
played after a short delay.
Function of the power availability display
The power availability display
1
includes two
areas:
R
In the area below
g
, the recovered power of
the vehicle during recuperation is displayed.
R
In the area above
g
, the current amount of
power that the drive system is feeding to the
wheels is displayed.
If the needle for the power availability display is in
the OFF position, the vehicle is not ready to drive.
The vehicle is not ready to drive in the following sit-
uations:
R
The vehicle has not yet started.
R
There is still a charging cable connected to the
vehicle socket.
R
There is insufficient high-voltage battery power
available.
R
There is a fault in the high-voltage on-board
electrical system.
Once the vehicle is ready to drive, the needle
moves to the
g
position and the display
õ
appears on the instrument cluster.
