Note

If the display in display zone 2 indicates an adjusting factor of <0 %, the octane rating of the fuel might not be correct.

  • ‒ Fill up tank with correct fuel.

If the display in display zone 3 indicates an adjusting factor of <0 %, the coolant temperature is too high (the overheating warning lamp in the combi-instrument lights up) or the engine control unit is receiving an incorrect temperature signal from the combi-instrument.

  • ‒ Check coolant temperature gauge.

=> Electric system; Repair group 90

If the display in display zone 4 indicates an adjusting factor of <0 %, the air being drawn in is too hot, or the intake air temperature sender is defective.

=> Motronic injection and ignition system; Repair group 24
