Outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears before the temperature indicator ⇒fig. 8 and a
warning signal sounds. After pressing the rocker switch at the windshield wiper
lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or the button at the multifunction steering wheel
⇒ page 16, fig. 7 , the function shown last is indicated.
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 even at temperatures around +4 °C - warning,
drive with care!
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display. If you wish to measure the driv ing time as of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on the
windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or the handwheel on the multifunction
steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 for longer than 1 second. The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to nu
ll if this period is exceeded.
Current consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your styl e 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.
The indicated value will be updated every 0,5 seconds while you are driving.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the me mory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒page 15. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel co nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a cert ain period of time
you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the button on the windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or with the handwheel on
the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 . A zero appears in the display
for the first 100 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.
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. After lighting up of the indicator light for the
fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly.
If the memory is set to zero (after disc onnecting the battery), the fuel consumption
of 10 l/100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord-
ingly to the style of driving.
Distance driven
The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
⇒ page 15. If you wish to measure the distance driven of a particular time, you
must set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on
the windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or the handwheel on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 .
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9999 km. The indicator
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 15. If you wish to determine the average vehicle speed over a
certain period of time you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measure-
ment using the button on the windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or with
the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 .
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Current speed*
The current speed which is identical to the display of the speedometer, is indicated
on the display ⇒page 10, fig. 2 .
Warning against excessive speeds
Warning against excessive speeds
This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A text in the
