Controls in detail
Instrument cluster
Resetting trip odometer
̈ Press the left knob 1 ( ୴ page 116) re-
peatedly until you see the trip odome-
ter display.
̈ Press and hold the left knob 1 until

Tachometer
To help protect the engine, the fuel supply
is interrupted if the engine is operated
above its specified limit.
Outside temperature indicator
The outside temperature is displayed in
the instrument cluster (
୴ page 24).
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 tem-
perature indications caused by heat
radiated from the engine during idling or
slow driving.
Setting the clock
Hour
̈ Pull out the right knob 2 in the instru-
ment cluster (
୴ page 116) and turn it
counterclockwise.
Minutes
̈ Pull out the right knob 2 in the instru-
ment cluster (
୴ page 116) and turn it

Warning!
G
The outside temperature indicator is not de-
signed to serve as an ice-warning device and
is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
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.
i
To set the clock by a single hour or a
few minutes, turn knob 2 just a few
degrees in the direction indicated for
hours or minutes.
