into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. The memory will be auto-
matically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than
2 hours.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of indi-
vidual journeys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999
kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is
reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be
deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of
the window wiper lever ⇒fig. 6 .
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows one to select the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the individual functions of the multi-functional indicator to appear
in the display one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.

The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by
button :
•average fuel consumption,
•distance driven,
•average speed,
•Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is
switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the
one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the outside temperature
indicator with a snow flake symbol appears. The symbol warns the driver
of the possible danger of ice on the road. After the rocker switch is
pressed, the function displays the one which you last selected before
switching off the ignition.
The outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is
switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5
minutes. If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the
temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outside
temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol
(warning signal for ice on the road) appears before the temperature indi-
cator ⇒fig. 7 and a warning signal sounds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temper-
ature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black
ice may also be present on the road surface even at temperatures
around +4 °C - warning, drive with care!
Current consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km.
This information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel
consumption you wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a
low speed.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is
shown in the display in litres/100 km ⇒page 18. This information can help

you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to
achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain
period of time you must first erase the memory at the start of the new
measurement using the button
⇒page 19, fig. 6 . A zero appears in the
display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the
distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of
fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps
of 10 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating
the range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on,
the range will be increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the
battery) before a new readout for the range is displayed.
Distance driven
The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the
display ⇒page 18. If you wish to calculate the distance driven from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in
time by pressing the button
⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9999 km. The
indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in km/hour ⇒page 18. If you wish to determine the average speed
over a certain period of time you must first erase the memory at the start
of the new measurement using the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the
memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are
driving.
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased,
appears in the display ⇒page 18. If you wish to calculate the driving time
from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this
moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 99 hours and 59
minutes. The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.

Warning against excessive speeds*Warning against excessive speeds 1)
This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A
text in the display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you
have exceeded the set speed limit.
You can set the desired speed limit as follows:
•Select the menu Speed warning --- km/h (warning at --- km/h) .
•You can drive at the desired speed, e.g. 50 km/h
•Press the button ⇒fig. 9 - Speed warning 50 km/h (warning at 50
km/h) is shown on the display.
If you now exceed the set speed limit, Speed 50 km/h exceeded (speed
50 km/h exceeded) will be shown on the display. This display will be
shown until you have reduced the speed to the set speed limit.
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
The set speed limit remains stored in the memory, also when the ignition
is switched off and on; it can only be erased by pressing the button for
more than 1 second.
