Tachometer  
The start of the red area on the tachometer indicates the maximum permissible engine speed for all gears when the engine is run in and at operating temperature.  
Before reaching the red area, shift to the next highest gear, select the selector lever position D/S or take your foot off the accelerator pedal.  
NOTICE  
A heavy engine load, especially when the engine is cold, can lead to engine damage.  
Avoid high engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.  
To prevent engine damage, the tachometer indicator may only be in the red area of the scale briefly.  
Shifting up early helps save fuel and reduce operating noises.

WARNING  
If the fuel level is too low, this can result in an irregular fuel supply and “sputtering” or stalling of the engine, particularly when going uphill or downhill. This can  
cause breakdowns in road traffic, accidents and serious or fatal injuries. The steering, all driver assistance systems and braking assistance systems will not  
work if the engine cuts out due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.  
Make sure that the fuel tank is always sufficiently filled.  
Always refill the fuel tank once it reaches a fill level of 1/4.  
NOTICE  
Irregular fuel supply can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel entering the exhaust system.  
Never drive with a completely empty fuel tank.  
The small arrow next to the fuel pump symbol on the fuel gauge indicates which side of the vehicle the fuel filler flap is on.
