General information regarding the
on-board computer functionsRange on remaining fuel
The range on remaining fuel is continuously recal-
culated during the journey based on the fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
The more the fuel level falls, the more spontan-
eously the display reacts. For this reason, the
range on remaining fuel is not displayed if less
than 9 miles (15 kilometers).
If the vehicle's inclination changes while driving or
refuelling, incorrect range information may tempo-
rarily be given.
Note
If the tank is nearly empty and you top up with only
a small quantity of fuel, an accurate range on re-
maining fuel is impossible.Average consumption and average speed
The values displayed are based on the distance
travelled since the last reset to “zero”.
You can set the starting time for a measurement
before or during the trip.
Switching the ignition off does not reset the meas-
urements. It is therefore possible to collect values
over long periods.
Disconnecting the car battery will cause these
memories to be erased.
Tire pressure
The Tire pressure function of the on-board com-
puter displays the tire pressures dependent on
temperature in the four wheels. You can watch the
tire pressure rise and fall while driving.
The display is only for information. To correct the
tire pressures, always use the displayed values
from the “Info pressure” display in the Tire pres-
sure menu.

Controls, Instruments
Setting temperaturefPress button H upwards or downwards
respectively.
To suit personal comfort, the interior temperature
can be adjusted between 61°F and 85°F/16°C
and 29.5°C.
Recommendation: 72°F/22 °C.
If “LO” or “HI” appears on the display, the system
is operating at maximum cooling or heating
power.
Automatic control is no longer active.
Note
If the preselected temperature is changed, the
blower speed can increase automatically in
automatic mode.
The desired temperature is reached more quickly
this way.
Sensors
To avoid affecting the performance of the air-
conditioning system:
fDo not cover the sun sensor on the instrument
panel or the temperature sensor D.
Defrost windshieldfPress button B (switch on or off).
The windshield is demisted or defrosted as
quickly as possible.
Air flows to the windshield only.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.ECO – switching the air-conditioning
compressor on and offThe air conditioning compressor switches off
automatically at temperatures below approx.
37°F/3°C and cannot be switched on, even
manually.
Whenever outside temperatures exceed approx.
37°F/3°C, the air-conditioning compressor is
always switched on in automatic mode.
The compressor can be switched off manually to
save fuel, but control comfort is then limited:
fPress ECO button E.
The compressor is switched off.
The light-emitting diode in the button lights up.
fIf the interior temperature is too high, switch
compressor back on or press AUTO button.
To dry incoming air in damp weather, do not
switch off the air-conditioning compressor.
This prevents misting of windows.
Adjusting blower speedfPress button M upwards or downwards
respectively.
The preset blower speed is increased or
decreased.
The speeds are indicated by a bar display.
The compressor is switched off at low blower
speeds.
If the button is pressed downwards at the lowest
blower stage, the blower and automatic control
are switched off. “OFF” will appear on the display
field.
Pressing the button upwards or pressing the
AUTO button switches the blower and automatic
control back on again.Circulating-air mode
Warning!
Risk of accident due to hampered vision.
In circulating-air mode, the windows may
mist up.
fOnly select circulating-air mode for short
periods.
fIf the windows mist up, switch air-circulation
mode by pressing the air-circulation button
again and selecting the “Defrost windshield” function.
