display: Average fuel
m ile age
The follow ing information is continuously evaluated by the trip
computer and can be displayed sequentially in the instrument cluste r
display:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km) appears in the display .
Thi s tells you how far your vehicle w ill be able to travel on the current
tank of fuel and with the same dr iv in g 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) since you last cleared
the memory appears in this disp lay . You can use this display to adjust
your dr iv ing tech nique to achieve a desired mileage . .,_

-Push the slider switch once to the right 0 or to the left Q
~ fig. 120. The distance currently set is shown for 3
seconds in the instrument cluster display.
Push the slider switch again to the right 0 or to the left
Q to increase or to decrease the distance by one step.
Select distance
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 estab lished and maintained. This produces a speed-depen­
dent interval. The higher the speed, the greater the safety interval in
yards (meters) ~
&-
Th e distances provided are specified values. These distances may
exceed or fall short of these target distances, depending on the
driving situation and the driving style of the vehicle ahead.
Distance 1 ~-~ ---
Thi s 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)
Controls and equip ­
ment Safety first
•
a distance of 72 feet (22 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
• a dist ance of 108 feet (33 meters) at a speed of 75 mph (120
km/h)
Distance 2 ,;::::,-- ~--
This setting is ideal for "keeping pace" comfortably in bumper-to­
bumper traffic. The distance is 1.3 seconds. This is the equ ivalent of,
for instance,
• a distance of 46 feet (14 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• a dista nce of 95 feet (29 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
• a distance of 144 feet (44 meters) at a speed of 75 mph ( 120
km/h)
Distance 3 ~--- ~-
This setting is idea l for "keeping pace" in bumper-to-bumper traffic
and is the equivalent of the generally recommended distance that is
"half of the speedometer speed" . The distance is 1 .8 seconds. This is
th e equivalent of, fo r instance,
• a distance of 66 feet (20 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• a distance of 131 feet (40 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
• a distance of 197 feet (60 meters) at a speed of 75 mph (120
km/h)
Distance 4 ~---- ~
This sett ing is ideal for secondary road traffic. The distance is 2.3
seconds. This is the equivalent of, for instance,
• a distance of 82 feet (25 meters) at a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h)
• a distance of 167 feet (51 meters) at a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
