Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at te
mperatures around +4 °C - warning,

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 consumed will not be indicated.RangeThe 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 disconnecting the battery), the fuel consumption of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord- ingly to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display ⇒ page 22. If you wish to measure the dist
ance 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
