– To set the minutes, press button again and select the minute
option. Set from button “set”.Once the operation has been carried out, the system memorises the time.Outside temperature display
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is
switched on.In addition to the outside temperature display, an ice crystal is displayed and,
if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h, a warning tone is heard at temperatures
dropping from between +4°C and -7°C and at temperatures rising from -5°C
up to +6°C.
The illumination of the crystal symbol aims to warn the driver of the risk of
ice, so that he/she proceeds with due care.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as
a result of heat coming from the engine.
Recommended gear display*
This display helps to save fuel.Use the gear display to save fuel. If you are not in the correct gear, a triangle
will appear next to the gear display indicating whether you should change up
or down ⇒ fig. 30.

The maximum display value in both memories is 1999 km. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached. Km - Fuel range
The fuel range is calculated using the figures for tank content and current fuel
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference. Ø litre/100 km - Average fuel consumption
After turning on the ignition, average fuel consumption will be shown after
travelling approximately 100 metres. Dashes will appear in the display until
that time. The display will be updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in
motion. The amount of fuel used will not be shown.
