Cruising range
Displays the estimated cruising range available
with the remaining fuel. It is projected by taking
into account the driving style over the last
20 miles/30 km.
When your cruising range falls below
30 miles/50 km, be sure to refuel. Other-
wise, engine functions are not ensured and
damage can occur.<
Refueling is only registered by the computer for
fuel amounts above approx. 1.3 gallons/5 liters.
Distance to destination
When you enter a destination into 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 des-
tination, refer to page76 or131.
The system automatically applies the distance
to your destination using the route recom-
mended by the navigation system.
When you enter a destination into the
navigation system, any manual entries
will be overwritten once the vehicle has traveled
approx. 1,640 ft/500 m of the calculated dis-
tance.<

consumption
Shows the current fuel consumption. This
allows you to see whether your current driving
style is conducive to fuel economy with mini-

You can use the Control Display to view your
fuel consumption rate over two different dis-
tances, refer to Computer on page76, or Trip
computer on page82.
Average speed
Periods with the vehicle parked and the engine
off are not included in the calculations of aver-
age speed.
