Instrument cluster
Tachometer
Outside temperature indicator
Warning!
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. This
means that the accuracy of the displayed
temperature can only be verified by com-
parison to a thermometer placed next to
the sensor, not by comparison to external
displays (e.g. bank signs etc.).
The red marking on the tachometer de-
notes excessive engine speed.
G
!
The outside temperature indicator is not de-
signed to serve as an ice-warning device and
is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Avoid driving at excessive engine
speeds, as it may result in serious en-
gine damage that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
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.
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.
To help protect the engine, the fuel supply
is interrupted if the engine is operated
within the red marking.
The outside temperature is displayed in
the instrument cluster (୴ page 22). For in-
formation on how to select the unit of the
displayed temperature, i.e. degrees Cel-
sius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F), see
“Selecting temperature display mode”
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.
E 55 AMG
The tachometer of the E 55 AMG does not
have a red marking denoting excessive en-
gine speed.
(
୴ page 141).
To help protect the engine, the fuel supply
is interrupted if the engine is operated at
an excessive engine speed.
