shown by red and yellow lighted symbols and reminders to the driver
in the display.
Th e d river is also shown information about radio and CD operat ion
and directions for the navigation system. You can find additional

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.

The efficiency program can help you to use less fuel => page 28. •
Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two switches on the
windshield wiper lever .

wiper lever: controls
for the trip computer
- To display the trip computer memory levels, press the
[ RESET) button ®=> fig. 17 repeatedly until the desired
memory level is shown in the display.
- To display trip information within a memory level, press
the top or bottom part of the function selection switch @.
The trip computer will not operate unless the ignition is on. When you
turn on the ignition, the function that was in use when you last turned
the ignition off will be displayed.
In addition to information on the trip computer (trip computer 1, 2
and efficiency program*, the digital speedometer and information
regarding the navigation system* can also be displayed. To sw itch the
display between the different information, tap the
I RESET] button
@ briefly. ...,

All stored values will be lost if the vehicle battery is disconnected. •
MMI settings
Basic settings for the trip computer can be made in the
MMI.
-Select: Function button [CAR]> System s*> Instrument
cluster > On -bo ard computer 1 or On-board computer 2.
The values in the s ingle-trip or the total-trip memory can all be reset
to zero at the same time under

In addit ion, you can determine what information from the trip
computer should be shown in the instrument cluster display. If one
of the pieces of dr iver information is turned
Off, that dr iver informa­
tion will not be shown in the display. The information will continue to
be ca lculated by the trip computer and can be turned back
On at any
time.
rn Tips
The driving information in the efficiency program* is also reset to
zero with the single-trip memory.•

ciency p rog ra m
Press the [ RESET] button@~ page 27, fig. 17 repeat­
ed ly until the efficiency program appears in the display.
The efficiency program can help you to use less fuel. It evaluates
driving information in reference to fuel consumption and shows
other equipment influencing consumption . Fuel economy messages
~ page 29 provide tips for efficient driving.
T he effic iency program uses distance and cons umption data from trip
computer
1. If the data are deleted in the efficiency program, those
values are also reset in trip computer

While the vehicle is being raised or lowered, the target level is indi­
cated by an arrow © next to the corresponding segment. The arrow
disappears again when the vehicle is at the target level.
Limitations to MMI settings
Please note that not every driving mode can be selected in every
dr iving s ituation . For example , it is not poss ible to switch to "lift"
mode at speeds above 12 mph (20 km/h) . This mode is then shown
greyed out in the MMI Display .
The vehicle can on ly be lowered when
all of the veh icle's doors are
closed.
If one doo r is open, all driving modes whose level setting is
below the current vehicle level appear greyed out in the MMI Display.
If a door is opened whi le the vehicle is being lowered , the lowering
process is interrupted until all doo rs are closed again.
I f the system is temporarily unavailable due to, for instance, an
empty compressed air tank, the driving modes that cannot be set
appear
greyed out in the MMI Display . As soon as the system is avail ­
able aga in, the driv ing modes can once more be selected in the
display .
(I] Tips
• For additional information on the driving modes=> page 179,
"Chassis controls".
• When the compressed air tank is empty , the compressor can be
switched on by starting the engine. The Adaptive Air Suspension is
once again available, after waiting a few minutes.
• T o prevent overload, the system switches off temporarily if
severa l adjustments are made in a row. The Adaptive A ir Suspens ion
is once again available, afte r waiting a few minutes. •
