range or if a Check Control status report is
currently on the screen.
Briefly press the button again to view the
last display.<
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge mode appears automati-
cally once the fuel level falls into the
reserve range. At the same time, the words
"Fuel reserve" appear. The tank still con-
tains approx. 2.6 gallons/10 liters of fuel.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies, when you are
driving in mountainous areas, for example,
the indicator may fluctuate slightly.
It will not be possible to cancel the
computer display once the fuel level
drops into the reserve range. However, you
can still request a display of the travel
range. Computer, refer to page85.<
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 23.2 gallons/
88 liters. You can find information on refu-
eling on page186.
Refuel well before the tank is empty,
as otherwise engine functions will not
be ensured and damage can occur if you
drive down to the last drop.<
Cruising range
Displays the estimated cruising range avail-
able with the remaining fuel. The fuel level
is measured and the range is calculated
taking the driving style over the last
20 miles/30 km into account.
Always refuel as soon as possible
once your range falls to below
30 miles/50 km, as otherwise engine func-tions are not ensured and damage can
occur.<
Refueling is only registered by the com-
puter for fuel amounts above approx.
1.3 gallons/5 liters.
Remaining distance
When you enter a destination in the naviga-
tion system or manually enter a distance in
the computer prior to departure, the system
can also display the distance remaining to
your destination, refer to page132 or87.
The system automatically applies the dis-
tance to your destination using the route
recommended by the navigation system.
When you enter a destination in the
navigation system, any manual entries
will be overwritten no later than once
1,640 ft/500 meters of the calculated dis-
tance have elapsed.<
Energy Control/
current fuel consumption
Shows the current fuel consumption. This
allows you to see whether your current
driving style is conducive to fuel economy
with minimum exhaust emissions.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption is calculated
for the time during which the engine is run-
ning.
You can use the Control Display to view
your fuel consumption rate over two differ-
ent distances, refer to Computer or Trip
computer.
Average speed
Periods with the vehicle parked and the
engine off are not included in the calcula-
tions of average speed.
Reset average speed: Press button2 in the
turn indicator lever for approx. 2 seconds.

Refueling
Fuel filler door
Always switch off the engine before
refueling. If you do not, fuel cannot be
filled into the tank and a message will
appear in the Check Control.<
To open and close: briefly press the rear
edge of the fuel filler door.
Manual release
In the event of an electrical defect in the
system, you can release the fuel filler door
manually:
1.Lift the handle to remove the cover
panel on the right side of the luggage
compartment
2.Take the button with the fuel pump
symbol from the bracket and pull it to
unlock the fuel filler door.
Always observe all applicable precau-
tions and regulations when handling
fuels. Never carry spare fuel containers in
your vehicle. Whether empty or full, these
containers can leak, cause an explosion,
and lead to fire in the event of a collision.<
Simple and environmentally friendly
When handling fuels always observe
any safety guidelines posted at the
filling station.<
Put the filler cap in the bracket attached to
the fuel filler door.
When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com-
pletely into the filler pipe. Lifting the filler
nozzle during refueling
>results in premature pump shutoff
>can lead to reduced efficiency in the
fuel-vapor recovery system.
The fuel tank is full when the filler nozzle
clicks off the first time.
Closing fuel filler cap
Close the filler cap carefully after refu-
eling, continuing until you hear the
detent engage. While closing, be sure not
to squeeze the strap which is fastened to
the cap. A loose or missing cap will activate
a message
* in the Check Control.<
Fuel tank capacity
Approx. 23.2 US gallons/88 liters, including
the reserve capacity of approx. 2.6 gallons/
10 liters.
Never attempt to continue driving
until the tank is completely empty, as
engine functions could be affected, and the
vehicle could sustain damage as a result.<
