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. 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.
The red marking on the tachometer de-
notes excessive engine speed.

Avoid driving at excessive engine speeds, as
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
it may result in serious engine damage that is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
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.
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
temperature indications caused by heat
radiated from the engine during idling or
slow driving.
The outside temperature is displayed in
the left or right multifunction display
(
