Mode selectionIn ignition key positions 1 and 2, you
can call up information from the on-
board computer using the button in the
turn signal lever. By pressing the button
briefly in the direction of the steering
column, you can call up a new function
for display.
The displays appear in the following
order:
Time, outside temperature, average fuel
consumption, cruising range, average
vehicle speed.
The function that was last selected will
be displayed when the ignition is
switched on.460de084
Outside temperature You can change the units of measure-
ment for the outside temperature dis-
play (6/7) by pressing the right-hand
reset button in the instrument cluster
when the temperature display is active.460us146
Ice warning If the outside temperature drops to ap-
prox. +37.5 7 (+3 6), the onboard
computer switches automatically to the
outside temperature display. In addi-
tion, a signal sounds as a warning and
the display flashes for a brief period.
The warning is repeated whenever the
temperature climbs to at least +43 7
(+6 6) following the last warning and
then drops back to +37.5 7 (+3 6).
The ice warning does not alter the
fact that surface ice can form at
temperatures above +37.5 7 (+3 6),
on bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.<

Average fuel consumption If you continue to hold the button on the
turn signal lever, the average fuel con-
sumption last displayed is recalculated
from that point.460us296
Range The computer bases its calculations of
the cruising range on the rate of fuel
consumption in the period immediately
preceding your data request.460us148
Average speed If you continue to hold the button on the
turn signal lever, the average fuel con-
sumption last displayed for that speed
is recalculated from that point in time.
Any time spent when the vehicle is
stationary and the engine is shut off is
ignored for the calculation.460us149
