•Vehicles with factory-fitted radio, mobile phone, navigation system, CD player etc. are supplied with separate instructions for operating such equip- ment.
•The arrangement of the controls and switches and the location of some items on right-hand drive models may differ from that shown in ⇒page 10, fig. 1 . The symbols on the controls and switches are the same as for left-hand drive models.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights20
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 indi- cated 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 wi th the outside temperature indicator ⇒ page 19, fig. 7 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be present on the road surface ev en at temperatures around +4 °C - warning, drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data (guid-ance to the destination). It must be ca lled up over the menu (valid for vehicles which have a navigation and information display).
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 econom ical 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.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is show n in the display in litres/100 km. This information can help you to adapt your st yle 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 300 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 consum ed will not be indicated.

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 partic- ular time of day you must first erase th e memory at this moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6.
The maximum time indicated in both switch positions is 99 hours and 59 minutes. The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
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 indi- cator 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 measure- ment using the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6.
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
Information display*
Introduction
The information display provides you wi th information in a convenient way concerning the current operating state of your vehicle. The information system also provides you with data (depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle) relating to the radio, multi-functional indicator and navigation system.
Certain functions and operating conditio ns are always being checked on the vehicle when the ignition is switched on and also while driving.
Functional faults, if required repair wo rk and other information are indicated by red symbols ⇒page 24 and yellow symbols ⇒page 25.
Lighting up of these symbols is combin ed with an acoustic warning signal.

Fuses and light bulbs236
Caution
•Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.
•Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuse s replaced by a specialist garage.
