1. Speedometer 2. Turn signal, left 3. Warning symbol - See the following pages for additional information. 4. Information display - The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient temperature, and the clock, etc. When the ambient temperature is between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C), a snowflake symbol is shown in the display. This symbol serves as a warning for possible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your car. At low speeds, or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature. 5. Information symbol - See the following pages for additional information. 6. Turn signal, right 7. Tachometer - Shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with the needle in the red area of the dial, which indicates maximum allowable engine rpm range. Instead, shift to a higher gear or slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds. This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed. 8. Indicator and warning symbols 9. Fuel gauge (see page 252 for fuel tank volume). When a warning light in the gauge comes on, there are approximately 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) of fuel remaining in the tank. For more information on fuel level and consumption, see "Trip computer" on page 63. 50 02 Instruments and controls Instrument panel 10. Trip odometer reset button - The trip odometers are used to measure short distances. Press the button briefly to switch between the odometer for the car's total mileage and the two trip odometers, T1 and T2. A long press (more than 2 seconds) resets the currently selected trip odometer. 11. Function display - This window displays information on functions such as the odometer, trip odometers, optional rain sensor, and cruise control. 12. High beam indicator 13. Temperature gauge - The gauge indicates the temperature of the engine cooling system. If the temperature is abnormally high and the needle enters the red zone, a message is shown in the display. Bear in mind that auxiliary lamps in front of the air intake reduce the cooling capacity at high outside temperatures and high engine loads.
