Resetting a memory Select the memory where you wish to erase the values.
Hold down button A
on the windscreen wiper lever or the OK button
on the multifunction* steering wheel for at least two seconds.
The journey memory 1 collects the travel and consumption data from the
moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
continued within two hours of switching off the ignition, the new values will
be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automati-
cally be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
The total journey memory 2 collects the journey data for any number of indi-
vidual journeys (even if the ignition is switched off for longer than two
hours) up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes travel time or 1999 km dis-
tance travelled. The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the
named values is reached.

position with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion ⇒ page 157.
Average consumption in l/100 km The average fuel consumption will be shown after a distance of approxi-
mately 100 metres has been travelled. Until then dashes will appear in the
display. The display will be updated every five seconds while the vehicle is
in motion. The amount of fuel used will not be shown. 

Cockpit
Fuel range in km
The fuel range is calculated using the figures for tank content and current
fuel consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same
conditions as a reference.
Distance travelled in km The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 1999 km. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
Average speed in km/h
The average speed will be shown after a distance of approximately 100 me-
tres has been travelled. Until then dashes will appear in the display. The
display will be updated every five seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
Alternative speed display (mph or km/h)
The speed is also displayed in a second unit of measurement other than
that used on the speedometer.
● Select the menu Configuration using the rocker switch on the windscreen
wiper lever or the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒ page 68.
● Select the option Auxiliary speed and press OK
on the windscreen wiper
lever or the multifunction steering wheel*.
Digital display of speed
The instrument panel display gives the speed in digital format 1)
.
Speed warning at --- km/h This function may help you to keep within the speed limits. Press the OK
button on the windscreen wiper lever
A or the multifunction steering
wheel* to select the current speed. The instrument panel display gives the
selected speed, for example, Speed warning 120 km/h. You have five sec-
onds to reset the speed between 30 km/h and 250 km/h using rocker switch
B
or buttons  or  on the multifunction steering wheel*. Press
the OK button or wait five seconds until the speed is stored and the warn-
ing is activated. If the set speed is exceeded, an acoustic signal is heard
and a warning message is displayed until the speed is reduced to at least 4
km/h below the stored speed. The function is switched off by pressing the OK
button again. Speed warning --- km/h is now displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Outside temperature display
The measurement margin ranges from -40°C (-40°F) to +50°C (+125°F). At
outside temperatures below +4°C (+39.2°F), the snowflake symbol (ice dan-
ger warning) appears in addition to the outside temperature display. This
symbol flashes for a few seconds and remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6°C (+42.8°F).
WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake sym-
bol” is not shown. For this reason you should not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!
Note
● There are different instrument panels; therefore the multifunction dis-
play may vary.
● When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tem-
perature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside tempera-
ture as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
● Vehicles with a multifunction steering wheel* do not have buttons on
the windscreen wiper lever. The multifunction display can only be controlled
from the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*. 
