The illum inat ion for the instrument cluster lights up whenever you
switch o n the ignition with the
vehicle headlight s off. As the daylight
fades, the instrument cluste r illum ination likewise d ims automati­
cally and w ill go out completely when the outside light is very low .
T his featu re is mean t to remind you to switch on the headligh ts when
outs ide light conditions become poor .•
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coo lant gauge ~ fig . 2 © only works when the ignition is
on. To p revent damage to yo ur engine, ple ase note the following
important po ints:
Engine cold
As long as the needle rema ins at or close to the bottom of the gauge,
t he engine s till has not rea ched its operat ing tem perature. Avo id high
eng ine speeds, heavy eng ine loads and heavy t hrottle app lications.
Normal temperature
When the eng ine has reached its ope rating temperature, the needle
w ill move into the midd le of the gauge and remain t he re.
If the
eng ine is working hard at high outs ide temperatures, the needle may
r ise up. This is no need to worry as long as the
_t_ warning light in th e
instr ument cluster does not illuminate.
Warning light in the instrument cluster -t
When the _L warning light in the instrument cluster starts to flash,
this can mean one of two things: e ithe r th e coolan t
temperature is
too high, or the coolant
level is too low=> page 35. _,.

Vehicle care Technical data

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 .
Fig . 1 5 T rip c om pute r
di sp la y: Av erag e fuel
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 .•

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully automatic
memories as well as an efficiency program*.
Fig. 16 Trip computer
display: memory level
1
You can switch between the trip computer 1 and 2 and the efficiency
program* by pressing the [
RESET] button®=> fig. 17.
You can tell which memory level is currently active by the number or
the sign in the display=> fig. 16. 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, then the data from the total-trip memory is
being displayed (memory level 2). The fuel pump nozzle
ii indicates
the efficiency program*=>
page 28.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip information from the time the
ignition is turned on until it is turned off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition 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. This permits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manual resets.
