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.

52Display with multifunction display (MFD)*
The multifunction display (MFD) shows you information on
the journey and fuel consumption.The multifunction system uses two automatic memories: 1 - Actual
memory and 2 - Total memory . The selected memory will be shown
in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
Selecting a memory
– With the ignition switched on, briefly press button ⇒fig. 31
on the windscreen wiper lever to move from one memory to
another.
Resetting a memory
– Select the memory that you would like to reset.
– Press and hold button on the windscreen wiper lever for at least 2 seconds.
The trip memory 1 collects the travel and consumption rates from the
moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
continued within two hours of switching off the ignition, the new values will
be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
The total memory 2 collects the trip data for any number of individual jour-
neys (even if the ignition is switched off for longer than two hours) up to a
total of 19 hours and 59 minutes travel time or 1999 km distance travelled.
The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the named values is
reached.Displays in the multifunction display (MFD)* You can switch between the following displays in the multifunction display
(MFD) by operating rocker switch ⇒fig. 32 on the windscreen wiper lever.

Km/h - Driving speed
Driving speed is digitally shown in the display.
min - Journey duration
The display shows the amount of time which has elapsed since the ignition
was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes.
The memory will automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Økm/h - Average speed
After turning on the ignition, the average speed will be shown after travelling
a distance of 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.
km - Distance travelled
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
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.
l/100 km or l/hr - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the
vehicle is in motion or in litre/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position
with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion
⇒page 156.
Outside temperature display
The measurement range extends from -45°C to +58°C. At temperatures below
+4°C, an “ice crystal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” sounds if the
vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h (ice warning). This symbol will flash
for about 10 seconds and remains lit until the outside temperature rises
above +4°C or does not rise above 6°C when on the move if it was already lit.
Set speed indicator
When the required speed has been reached, enter the “Speed warning”
mode menu and press button -RESET-. The set speed is memorised. If the
indicated speed is exceeded at any time, a warning message is displayed on
the screen and a warning signal sounds.
3)
This may be deactivated by pressing the button. The speed may be
altered using the rocker switch in steps of 5 km/h within 5 seconds of the
initial memory value.3)Depending on the model version, the message on the screen may vary and may be
represented by flashing of the speed indication or by a speed message.
