Vehicle care Technical data
The following information is continuously evaluated by the trip
computer and can be displayed sequentially in the instrument cluster
display:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display .
This tells you how far your vehicle will be able to travel on the current
tank of fuel and with the same driving style . The display changes in
increments of 6 miles (10 km).
The cruising range is calculated based on the fuel consumption for
the last 18 miles (30 km). If you drive conservatively, the cruising
range will increase.
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km) s ince you last cleared
the memory appears in this disp lay. You can use this display to adjust
your dr iv ing techn ique to ach ieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in miles per ga llon {l/100 km) is
shown in this display. You can use this display to adjust your driving
technique to achieve a desired mileage .
Fuel consumption is recalculated at intervals of 33 yards (30 meters).
This display switch es to gallons/hour (liters/hour) when the vehicle is
not moving .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the last time the display was
reset appears in the display.
Elapsed time
Th e length of time that you have been driving since you last reset the
memory appears in this display.
Distance
The d istance that has been covered since the last time the memory
was cleared appears in the display .

(I] Tips
•
Fuel consumptions (average and current), range and speed are
displayed in metric units on Canadian models .
• All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic

You can switch between the trip computer 1 and 2 by pressing the
Reset button @=>
page 24, fig. 18 .
You can tell which memory level is currently active by the number in
the display => fig. 17. The data from the single-trip memory (memory
level 1) is being displayed if a
1 appears in the display . If a 2 is shown,
t hen the data from the total-trip memory is being displayed (memory
level 2) .
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The sing le-trip memory stores the trip information from the t ime the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignit ion was turned off, the new
data will be included in the calculation of the current trip informa-

tion. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours the memory is
reset automatically.
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not reset
automatically. Th is permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire pe riod between manual resets. •
Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two switches on the
windshield wiper lever.

wiper l ev er : controls
for th e trip comput er
- Pushthefunctionselectorswitchupordown @~fig.18 .
This will cause the five distinct trip computer functions to
be displayed one after another.
The trip computer will not operate unless the ignition is on. When you
turn on the ignition, the function that was in use when yo u last tu rned
the ignition off will be d isplayed.
In addition to information on the on-board computer (on-board
computer 1 or 2), the dig ital speedometer a nd information regarding
the navigation system* can also be displayed. To switch the display
between the different information, tap the Reset button@ briefly.
Setting values to zero
To delete one current value from the trip computer, select the
desired function and press the Reset button @ for at least one
second. The following values can be set to zero
individually using the
Reset button:
• Average fuel mileage
• Average speed
• Elapsed time
• Distance
In addition,
all the values in the single-trip or the total-trip memory
can be deleted simultaneously=>
page 24.
[ i ] Tips
All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is disconnected. •
Basic Settings for the trip computer
The MMI* or the radio operating unit is used for setting
the trip computer's basic settings .
-Select: Function button [CARI> Instrument cluster > On-
board computer 1
or On-board computer 2.
Th e values in the single-trip or the total-trip memory can all be reset
to zero at the same time under
Reset in the menu.
In addition, you can determine what information from the trip
computer should be shown in the instrument cluster display. If one
of the pieces of driver information is turned
off , that driver informa
tion will not be shown in the display. The info rmation w ill continue to
be calculated by the trip computer and can be turned back
on at any
time. •
Power locking system
General description
The power locking system locks or unlocks all doors and
the rear lid simultaneously.
You can lock and u nlock the ve hicle centrally. You have the following
choices:

Automatic Locking
The automat ic lock ing feature locks all the veh icle doors and the rear
lid when you drive faster than 9 mph (15 km/h).
T he car is unlocked agai n once the ignit io n key is removed. I n add i

In the following cases there safeguards to preve nt yo u loc king your
remote master key in the vehicle:
• The vehicle does not lock with the centra l locking sw itch
=>
page 45 if the drive r's door is open.
• On vehicles with convenience key*, if the most recently used
master key is in the luggage compartment, the rea r lid is automati
ca ll y unlo cked again after it is closed;;;> page 46.
Do not lock yo ur vehi cle w it h t he remote m aster key u ntil all doors
and t he rear lid are closed . In this way you avoid locking yourself out
acc iden tally .
& WARNING
• When you leave th e vehicle, alwa ys remove the ignition key
and take it with you. Th is will prevent passengers (children , for
example ) from accidentally being locked in the vehicle should
they accidentally p ress the power locking switch in the front

S ele ct distan ce
The distance at which the adaptive cru ise control follows a vehicle in
front is determined by
time intervals . A time interval to a vehicle in
front is established and maintained. This produces a speed-depen
dent interval. The higher the speed, the greater the safety interval in
yards (meters) ~

The d istances provided are spec ified values. These d istances may
exceed or fall short of these target distances, depending on the
driving situation and the driving style of the vehicle ahead.
Distan ce 1 ~-~ ---
This sett ing is ideal for brisk driving i n bumper-to-bumper traffic. The
distance is one second. This is the equivalent of, for instance,
• a distance of 36 feet (11 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)

Di sta nc e 2 ,;::::, -- ~--
This setting is ideal for "keeping pace" comfortably in bumper-to

for instance,
• a distance of 46 feet (14 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)

Di st a nce 3 ~--- ~-
This setting is idea l for "keeping pace" in bumper -to-bumper traffic

y: This setting wa rns the driver before a wheel touches the
de tected la ne bounda ry l ine. The warn ing depends on the vehicle's
angle as it approaches the bo undary line . If you app roach a bounda ry
line gradua lly, t he war ning will occ ur earlier. If you app roach the

a whee l touches the line.
Adapti ve : In this setting, the warning time adjusts to the character
