Note
When the display shows route guidance instructions from the navigation
system, the ambient temperature appears in the second line of the radio
display.Fuel range
The fuel range display can help you to plan your trip.The estimated fuel range is displayed in km. It shows how far the vehicle can
be driven with the amount of fuel left in the tank, assuming the same style of
driving. The fuel range is displayed in increments of 10 km.
The fuel range is calculated on the basis of the fuel consumption over the last
30 kilometres. The fuel range will increase if you drive in a more economical
manner.
Door catch/ tailgate warningThe door catch/tailgate warning symbol lights up if one or more of the doors,
or the bonnet or tailgate are not proper ly closed when the ignition is on. The
symbol also indicates which of these is not properly closed. The display in the
illustration ⇒fig. 50 shows that the front left door is open.
The corresponding part of the pictogram wil l flash if either the bonnet or tail-
gate are open. The warning symbol goes out when the bonnet, tailgate and
all the doors are closed.
On vehicles with a driver information system and an on-board computer* the
door catches/tailgate warning symbol can be switched off by briefly pressing
one of the control switches for the on-board computer ⇒page 85. However,
the warning symbol will appear again if any of the doors or the bonnet or tail-
gate is opened or closed.

84On-board computerIntroduction
The on-board computer provides you with useful information
during a journey, includin g average and current fuel
consumption, average speed, fuel range, driving time and
distance covered.Press RESET button ⇒page 85, fig. 59 to switch back and forward
between the functions of on-board computers 1 and 2.
The numbers in the display ⇒fig. 58 indicates which of the two memories is
currently in use. The figure 1 means that the display is showing the informa-
tion in the single journey memory (on-board computer 1). The figure 2 means
that the display is showing the inform ation in the total journey memory (on-
board computer 2). Single-journey memory (on-board computer 1)
The single-journey memory processes th
e 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. If the journey is interrupted for
more than two hours the stored information is automatically erased when you
resume your journey.
Total-journey memory (on-board computer 2)
Unlike the single-journey memory, the total-journey memory is not erased
automatically. Hence, you can determine the period for which you wish the
on-board computer to supply figures.
Fuel range
The estimated fuel range is displayed in km. The fuel range is displayed in
increments of 10 km.
Average fuel consumption
This mode shows the average fuel consumption since the memory was last
cancelled in litres/100 km.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows the instantaneous fuel consumption in litres/100 km.
When the vehicle is stationary, the computer will display the last value in the
memory.
Average speed
This mode shows the average speed driven since the memory was last
cancelled (in km/h).
Driving time
This display shows the period of time which has elapsed since the memory
was last cancelled. The longest possible period it can cover is 999 hours and
59 minutes.

Driving time warning
After 2 hours of continuous driving, the display automatically switches over
to the driving time display of
2:00. At the same time the driving time display
starts flashing. This is to remind the driver to take a break.
The driving time warning can be switched off by briefly pressing the function
selector switch or the button ⇒fig. 59 .
If you continue driving or take a break for less than 10 minutes, the driving
time warning will switch on once agai n when the total driving time is 4:00
hours, 6:00 hours, etc. However, if you take a break for more than 10 minutes,
the driving time warning clock will be erased.
Distance covered
This display shows the distance you have covered since the memory was last
cancelled. The longest possible distance which can be recorded is
9999.9 km.
Note
•
The displays for fuel consumption (average and instantaneous), fuel
range and speed are shown in metric units.
•
The information in the memory is lost if the battery is disconnected.
Operating
The on-board computer is controlled by means of two
switches on the windscreen wiper lever.Enabling the on-board computer
– Press the reset button repeatedly until the on-board computer (memory 1 or 2) ⇒page 84, fig. 58 is displayed.

selected values are highlighted on a red background.
By pressing the button, you can conf irm the option you have selected
or the value you have set. Selected functions are marked with a tick.
The following symbols are used:Tyre pressure monitoringIntroduction
The tyre pressure monitoring system constantly checks the
pressure of the tyres.The system warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure by means of
symbols and messages in the instrument panel display. The system works
with the help of the ABS sensors in the wheels.
Please bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is also influenced by the
temperature of the tyre. Tyre pressure increases about 0.1 bar for each 10°C
in tyre temperature increase. The tyre heats up while the vehicle is being driven and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly. Therefore, you should only
adjust the tyre pressures when they are
cold (i.e. approximately at ambient
temperature).
To ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system works reliably, you should
check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures at regular intervals and
store the correct pressures (reference values) in the system.
A tyre pressure information label is attached to the inside of the fuel tank flap.
WARNING
•
Never adjust tyre pressure when the tyres are hot. This may damage or
even burst the tyres. Risk of accident!
•
An insufficiently inflated tyre flexes a lot more at high speeds and
causes significant heating of the ty re. Under these conditions, the tyre
bead may be released or the tyre may burst. Risk of accident!For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres lead to increased fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Note
•
Responsibility for ensuring that the tyres are correctly inflated remains
with the driver; the system can only provide assistance.
•
Pressure can only be adjusted when the tyres are at ambient
temperature.

Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning
160Each of the three buttons has a specific function. The numbers relate to the
air outlets ⇒ page 159, fig. 135.
Air directed to windows
This setting directs all the air to outlets 1 and 2. Unlike in setting , the
volume of air delivery remains the same.
Air to the driver/front passenger
All the air comes from outlets 3 and 4 in the dash panel and from the rear of
the centre console.
Air to the footwells
Most of the air emerges from outlets 5 and the outlets under the front seats.
Some of the air will also be issued from outlets 3 and 4.
Note
In all of the above air distribution settings, a small amount of air will still
come from the other outlets.Economical use of the climate control
Economical use of the climate control will help save fuel.Engine power is reduced and fuel consumption increases when the
climate control is in cooling mode. To ensure that the system is only
switched on when it is really necessary, please note the following
points:
– Select ECON mode if you wish to save fuel.
– Select ECON mode if you decide to open the windows or sun roof* while driving. – If the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun, open the
windows and doors for a short time to cool the vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
By saving fuel you also reduce the am ount of pollutants emitted from your
vehicle.Key settings
When the ignition is switched on, the climate control settings
assigned to the key are selected automatically.The climate control settings selected are automatically stored and assigned
to the key in use. When the vehicle is started, the climate control automati-
cally selects the settings assigned to the key. Hence, every driver automati-
cally obtains his/her preferred settings without having to select them manu-
ally.
Note
Should another driver use the key and enter other settings, the previous
settings will be deleted.
