Driver information display
Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on current and
average fuel mileage, avera ge speed, fuel range and
driving time .

mile age
T he fo llow ing driving information is continuously eva luated by the
t rip co mpute r and can be displayed se quen tially in the instr ument
cl uster d isplay.
Fuel range
The estimated cru ising range in miles (km) appea rs in the display.
Thi s tells you how far your veh icle w ill be ab le to travel o n the cur rent
tank of fuel a nd w ith the same driving sty le . The display changes in
in cremen ts of 6 miles (1 0 km).
Th e cru ising range is calc ulated based on t he f uel consumption for
the last 18 mi les (30 km). I f yo u drive conservatively, the cruising
r an ge will increase.
Average fuel mileage
T he average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km) s ince you last clea red
the memory appears in this display . You can use this display to adjust
your dr iv ing tech nique to achieve a des ired mileage .
Current fuel mileage
The ins tan taneous fuel consumption in miles pe r ga llon (l/ 100 km) is
shown in this display . You can use t his disp lay to ad jus t your d riving
technique to achieve a desired m ileage.
Fuel consumpt io n is reca lculated at inte rvals of 33 y ards (30 me te rs).
When the veh icle is stationary, the most recent fue l consumption is
disp laye d.
Average speed
Th e average s peed in mph (km/h) since t he last ti me the display was
reset appea rs i n the display .
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been dr iving since you last reset the
memory appea rs in this display.
Distance
Th e d istance tha t has bee n covered since t he last time the memory
was cleare d appears in the disp lay.
[ i ] Tips
• Fuel consumpt ions (average and current), range an d spee d are
displayed in metr ic units o n Canad ian models.
• All store d values will be lost if the vehicle battery is
disconn ected .•

Res etting the ma ximum speed
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 3 mph (5 km/h)
- Press the
[CHECK] button for more than 2 seconds .
The speed warning symbol 8 (USA mode ls)/ 8 (Canada models) will
appear br iefly in the display when you release the
I CHECK] button to
indicate that the maximum speed has been stored successfully.
T he maxim um speed rema ins stored until it is cha nged by pressing
the
I CHECK ] bu tton again briefly or un til it is deleted by a lengthy
push on the button. •
Speed warning 2: setting a speed limit
Warning threshold 2 is set, changed and deleted in the
fv1fv1I.
-Select: Function button (CAR ) > System s* > Instrument
clu st e r > Sp eed warning .
Warning thresho ld 2 can be set in the speed range starting from
20 mph to 150 mph (30 km/h to 240 km/h). Settings can each be
adjusted in intervals of 5 mph (10 km/h). •
Auto Check Control
Introduction
The Auto-Check control monitors the function of certain vehicle
features and components. It simply makes sure these features and
components are work ing properly . The Auto -Check control works as
long as the ignition is on, as well as whenever the vehicle is driven.
If a component is malfu nctioning or if the need for an urgent repair
has been detected, this will appear in the instrument cluster d isplay. You will also hear an audible warning tone. The d
isplays are color
coded in e ither red or yellow depend ing on their leve l of prior ity.
A red symbol means
Danger , a yellow symbol indicates Warning . In
certain situations, information message for the driver appear in addi
tion to the red and yellow symbols.
Fun ction test : au tom atic tran smi ssio n
The Auto-Check Control will automat ically perform a test each time
you switch on the ignition . With the se lector lever in
P or N , the
following message appears in the d isplay:
Wh en st ationa ry appl y foot br ake w hile select ing g ear.
When you a se lect a different gea r (f or examp le: R , D , etc.), the
message w ill disappear and the Auto -Check function is displayed.
If there is a malfunction, then the ma lfunction message will appear
about 15 seconds after the yo u start the vehicle. At the same time
you will hear a warning tone. •
Driver information messages
Driver information messages are shown in the instru
ment cluster display in addition to the red and yellow
symbols .

• Driving and environment
------------------------------------------------'
ffi For the sake of the environment
Even when the Emission Control System is operating properly, the
exhaust gas can have a sulfur-like exhaust gas smell under some
operat ing states. This depends on the sulfur content of the fue l being
used. Using a different brand of fuel may help, or filling the tank with
lead-free supe r grade gasoline. •
Applies to vehicles: with d iesel engine
Diesel particulate filter
The diesel particulate filter filters nearly all of the soot particles out
of the exhaust. The filter cleans itself automatica lly under norma l
driving conditions. If the filter cannot clean itself (for example,
because you are only driving short distances), the fi lter becomes
clogged with soot and the symbol for the diesel particulate filter
illuminates ~
page 40.
& WARNING
• Do not park your vehicle over flammable materials such as
grass or leaves because the high temperature of the diesel partic
ulate filter could start a fire.
• Do not apply an underbody protectant in the exhaust system
area or a fire could start. •
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driving on poor roads, or over curbs, steep ramps, etc.,
make certain that low-lying parts such as spoilers and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
Thi s is espec ially true for vehicles with low-slung chassis (sports
chassis)" and fully loaded vehicles. •
Controls and equip
ment Safety first Vehicle operation
Operate your vehicle economically
and minimize pollution
General
Your personal
style of driving will determine the economy
of your vehicle, as well as exhaust and noise levels.
Fuel economy, environmental impact, and wear on your engine,
brakes and tires largely depend on three factors:
• your personal dr iv ing style
• operating conditions
• technical limitations
If you anticipate what you need to do next and drive economically,
you can easily cut your fuel consumption by 10-15 percent. This
section will give you some tips on how you can he lp the environment
and your pocketbook.
(I) Tips
The consumption est imates as published by ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre
spond to your actual consumption on the road, which will vary
depending upon vehicle load and speed, road and weather conditions,
trip length, etc.
Drive smoothly and keep a lookout ahead
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerating.
-Avoid unnecessary accelerating and braking.
Vehicles use the most fuel when they are accelerating . If you antici
pate what is going to happen next, you will need to brake less and,
thus, accelerate less. Let the vehicle coast whenever possible - for
example when you see that the next traffic light is red. •
