Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒fig. 38 only works when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine damage, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Cold temperature
If the needle is still on the left of the dial, this indicates that the engine has
not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs and heavy accelera-
tion and do not make the engine work hard. Normal temperature
In normal operations, the needle will settle somewhere in the centre of the
dial once the engine has reached running temperature. The temperature may
also rise when the engine is working hard, especially at high outside temper-
atures. This is no cause for conc
ern, provided the warning lamp
 does not
light up in the instrument panel.
Warning temperature
If the symbol
 flashes in the display, this means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒page 77.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level, observe the
warning information ⇒ page 213.
•
Never open the bonnet when steam or coolant is being released from it.
This could lead to burns. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.Caution
Accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At
high outside temperatures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.

Speedometer with distance display
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models,
however, the mileage recorder will show “miles”.
Lower distance display
The lower distance display records the vehicle's total mileage.
Upper distance display (trip recorder)
The upper distance display shows the distance that has been travelled since
the trip recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short journeys. The last
digit of the trip recorder indicates dist ances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
The upper distance display can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button
⇒ fig. 42 . Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters
DEF will permanently
appear in the trip recorder display. Please have the fault rectified as soon as
possible.
Electronic immobiliser
The vehicle key data is consulted when the ignition is switched on.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display. The vehicle can no longer be started if that happens.
Fuel reserveThe display only works when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol
 lights up in the
instrument cluster display ⇒ page 79. At this point there are still about 8 to
10 litres of fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the Technical data section
⇒ page 282.
Caution
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is an irregular fuel supply, misfiring
can occur. This means that fuel could reach the exhaust system without
burning. This may lead to the cata lytic converter reheating and being
damaged.

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.
