Selector
lever
lock

In positions "P" and "N"
with
the ignition
switch on the selector lever is locked. To move the selector lever out of these
posi­

tions the brake pedal must be depressed
and the selector lever
button
pushed-in.

This
prevents a gear being engaged inadver­

tently
and the vehicle unintentionally mov­ ing off.

A
delay circuit prevents the selector lever

from
locking when it is moved quickly past
the "N" position (for instance
from
"R" to
"D").
This enables for example the vehicle
to be "rocked" out of a "bogged down" position. The
shift
lock only locks the
selec­

tor lever if it is
left
in the "N" position for more than about
1
second
without
the brake
pedal being depressed.
At speeds above 5 km/h the selector lever lock is automatically switched-off in
posi­

tion
"N". In the dash panel there is a display tra:

shows
the currently selected selects' eve' position.

Multi
function
indicator
* In addition to the time display, the multi­
function indicator (MFI) gives a whole range of additional information:
• Driving time
• Average fuel consumption
• Distance driven
• Average speed
• Engine oil temperature
• Ambient temperature With the exception of the time, the symbol for the function switched on appears at the upper edge of the display (in illustration the

average
fuel consumption is shown).

By
repeatedly pressing button B in the wind­

screen
wiper lever
with
the ignition
switched on, the additional information is

displayed,
starting
with
the time.
If the button B is pressed for longer than 1

sec,
the function being displayed at
that

time will change over automatically to the time display. The
memories

The
system is equipped
with
two automatic

memories:

A
single
journey
memory
collects the
following data from the time the ignition is switched on to when it is switched off. Driv­ing time, distance covered and fuel
used.
From
this data the average driving speed

and
the average consumption is worked
out.
If the journey is resumed within two hours
of switching off the ignition, the new figures
are automatically included in the calculation. If the journey is interrupted for more than
two hours, the stored information is auto­ matically
erased.

A
total
journey
memory
stores the data
from any number of individual journeys up
to a total of 100 hours driving time, a dis­
tance of 10000 km (6214 miles) and 1000 litres (220 gallons) of fuel consumed. This

data
is only used to work out the consump­
tion and speed averages for all the individual
journeys.
If one of the given figures is exceeded, the
memory is erased and calculation starts
from the beginning again. Contrary to the
single
journey memory, this memory is not

erased
after a journey pause of more than
two hours.

fuel
consumption

The
average consumption is indicated not
the actual consumption at the time of read­

The
average fuel consumption is indicated,
after switching on the ignition or erasing the memory being
used,
after a distance of
about 100 metres. Up to this point a dash

appears
instead of a figure. When vehicle is moving the indicated value is up-dated
every 5
seconds.

In
switch
position 1 the average
con­

sumption for the single journey is indicated.
In
switch
position 2 the average
con­

sumption indicated is
that
obtained during

all
single journeys - see "Total journey memory" on previous page
also.

Note

The
amount of fuel used is not indicated.
