If it is not displayed, press button è or ÿ on the multifunction steering wheel ( page 158) repeatedly until the trip odometer appears in the multifunction display.

Outside temperature indicator Warning! G ! Avoid driving at excessive engine speeds, as it may result in serious engine damage that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. The outside temperature indicator is not designed to serve as an ice-warning device and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose. Indicated temperatures just above the freezing point do not guarantee that the road surface is free of ice. The road may still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges. To help protect the engine, the fuel supply is interrupted if the engine is operated within the red marking. The outside temperature is indicated in the multifunction display ( page 157). 155
