RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you
can still drive with your vehi cle 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), th e fuel consumption of
10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accordingly
to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
 page 19. 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 page 20,
fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or the handwheel on the multifunction
steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memo ries is 1 999 km or on vehicles with
information display*, it is 9 999 km. The indicator is set back to null if this period is
exceeded.Average speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour page 19. 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 measurement using
the button page 20, fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or with the handwheel
on the multifunction steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 .
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 page 15,
fig. 15 is indicated on the display.oil temperature*The oil temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on. If the oil
temperature is lower than 50°C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil tempera-
ture is present, three lines are displayed instead of the oil temperature.Warning against excessive speedsWarning against excessive speeds
This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A text in the
display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you have exceeded the set
speed limit.
You can set the desired speed limit as follows:
Select the menu point Speed warning --- km/h (warning at --- km/h). .

Drive e.°g at a speed of 50 km/h.

Press the button page 20, fig. 19 on the windshield wi per lever or the hand-
wheel on the multifunction steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 . Speed warning
50 km/h (warning at 50 km/h) is displayed in the information display*. You can
increase or reduce this value with the bu tton on the windshield wiper lever or by
turning the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel*.

The value is stored by repeated pressing of the button on the windshield wiper
lever or the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel*.
If you now exceed the set speed limit, Speed 50 km/h exceeded will be shown in the
display. This message is indicated for as long as the speed is reduced below the set
limit or switch off the message by pressing the button on the windshield wiper lever
 page 20, fig. 19 or the handwheel on the multifunction stee ring wheel*
 page 20, fig. 19 .
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
The set speed limit remains stored even after switching off the ignition.
