– The remaining time and distance to the next service are
indicated every time the ignition is switched on, until the
service becomes due.
Service due
–When a service is due, Service! will appear in the display
as soon as you switch on the ignition. The display reverts
back to the standard display after about 5 seconds.
Displaying the service interval
– Select: Function selector button > Service interval
display ⇒page 23, fig. 15.
Resetting the oil change interval display
– Select: Function selector button > Service interval
display > Reset oil change interval.Displaying distance to next service
You can have the distance to the next service displayed on the MMI
screen ⇒page 23, fig. 15. The remaining distance to the next
service is updated every time the ignition is switched on (starting at
500 km after a service has been performed).
On a new vehicle, the display will always show the following
message for the first 500 km.
SERVICE IN ----- KM --- DAYS
Caution
The system cannot calculate the figures for the service indicator if
the battery is disconnected from the vehicle, so no service reminder
can be displayed during this time. Please remember that keeping to
the correct service intervals is most important for the service life
and residual value of the vehicle (and especially for the life of the
engine). The period between two services must never be longer than the time specified in the Service Schedule, even if you only
cover a low mileage during this time.
Note
•
Do not reset the display between oil changes - otherwise the
display will be incorrect.
•
The information in the service interval display remains intact if
the battery is disconnected.
•
The distance to the next service cannot be called up if the system
has detected a Priority 1 fault (red symbol).
•
If the service was not performed by a qualified workshop, the oil
change interval display can only be set to “fixed service intervals” of
15,000 km. If you wish to continue with the “LongLife” service, you
will need to have the oil change interval display reset by a qualified
workshop.

Note•
The displays for fuel consumption (average and current
consumption), fuel range and speed are shown in metric units. You
can change the measurement units on the MMI display.
•
The information in the memory is cancelled if the battery is
disconnected.
Applies to vehicles: with on-board computerMemory
The on-board computer has two automatic journey
memories.Press RESET button ⇒fig. 20 to switch back and forward
between the functions of on-board computers 1 and 2.
The number in the display ⇒fig. 19 indicates which of the two
memories is currently in use. The figure 1 means that the display is
showing the information in the single journey memory (on-board
computer 1). The figure 2 means that the display is showing the
information in the total journey memory (on-board computer 2).
Single journey memory (on-board computer 1)
The single journey memory processes the information on a journey
from the time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is resumed within two hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new figures are automatically included in the
calculation. The memory is automatically deleted when you resume
driving, if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
Total journey memory (on-board computer 2)
Unlike the single journey memory, the total journey memory is not
erased automatically. In this way, you can determine the period for
which you wish the on-board computer to supply figures.
Applies to vehicles: with on-board computerControls
The on-board computer is controlled by means of two
switches on the windscreen wiper lever.– Press the top or bottom of the function selector switch
⇒fig. 20. This displays the on-board computer read-
outs one after the other.The on-board computer can only be operated while the ignition is
switched on. When the ignition is switched on, the display shows
the function that was last selected.
As well as the figures from the on-board computer (computer 1 or
2), the display can also show information from the digital speedom-

sponding figures will still be registered by the on-board computer
and can be switched back on at any time so that they again appear
in the display.

WARNING
•
Always switch off the ignition and take the key with you when
leaving the vehicle - even if you only intend to be gone for a short
time. This is especially important if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine or use power-operated
equipment such as the electric windows - this could lead to inju-
ries.
•
Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the
ignition key from the lock. Otherwise the steering lock could
engage suddenly, causing an accident.Note
The function of the remote control key may be impaired by interfer-
ence from other nearby radio signals (for example from a mobile
telephone or TV transmitter) if these are in the same frequency
range.Indicator lamp on remote control key
The indicator lamp on the remote control key lights up
when you press the buttons.
The indicator lamp should light up once briefly when you press one
of the buttons briefly. The indicator lamp should flash when you
press and hold one of the buttons (convenience open/close).
If the indicator lamp does not light up, this means the battery is
exhausted and must be replaced ⇒page 39. The instrument cluster
display also shows the symbol
 and the following message if the
battery is exhausted:
Please change key battery
Replacing the battery for the remote control key
Each remote control key contains a round-cell battery,
located in the battery carrier.

ness of the instrument lighting in dark conditions.
– Press the knob in again to prevent the setting from being
changed unintentionally.The instrument lighting (dials and needles), the centre console illu-
mination and the illumination of the displays are regulated by a
light sensor incorporated in the instrument cluster. In bright condi-
tions any changes made to the brightness of the instrument lighting
have no effect.
Note
The instrument lighting (illumination of dials and needles) is
switched on when the ignition is on and the vehicle's lights are off.
The instrument lighting is dimmed automatically as the daylight
starts to fade; it is switched off completely when the light condi-
tions become very poor. This function is intended to remind the
driver to switch on the dipped-beam headlights in good time when
light conditions become poor.Applies to vehicles: with xenon headlight bulbsDynamic headlight range controlHeadlights with xenon gas-discharge bulbs automatically adapt to
suit the load being carried when the engine is switched on. The
headlights are also automatically adjusted when the vehicle is in
motion (e.g. when accelerating and braking).
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive lightadaptive light
This feature provides better illumination when you drive
through a corner.The adaptive light gives better illumination of the bend and the side
of the road when driving through a corner ⇒fig. 54. The adaptive
light is controlled automatically, depending on the speed of the
vehicle and the steering wheel angle.
The headlights are regulated automatically when you drive through
a corner, depending on how far you turn the steering wheel. To
avoid having a dark spot in front of the vehicle the two headlights
are directed at different angles.
Note
