@ Tips
The illumina tion for the instr ument cluster
lights up whenever you switch on the igni­
tion with the
vehicle headlights off. As
the daylight fades, the instrument cluster illumination likewise dims automatically
and will go out completely when the out­
side light is very low. This feature is meant
to remind you to switch on the headlights
when outside light condit ions become
poor.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge q page 10, fig. 3 CD
only works when the ignition is on. To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the fol­
lowing important po ints:
Engine cold
As long as the needle remains at or close to
the bottom of the gauge, the engine still has
not reached its operating temperature. Avoid
high engine speeds, heavy engine loads and
heavy throttle applicat ions .
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating
temperature, the needle will move into the
middle of the gauge and remain there. If the
engine is working hard at high outside tem­
peratures, the needle may rise up. This is no
need to worry as long as the. warning light
in the instrument cluster does not illuminate.
Warning light in the instrument cluster
When the. warn ing light in the instrument
cluster starts to flash, th is can mean one of
two things: either the coolant

Speedometer with odometer
The speedometer shows you the vehicle
speed, and the odometer shows you how many miles (kilometers) you have driven .
Fig. 5 Instrum ent cl ust er Odo mete r an d re set bu tton
The odometer and trip odometer are located
i nside the speedometer.
- USA mode ls - Miles
- Canada models -Kilometers
You can sw itch the display from miles to kilo­
meters and vice versa via the MM I. You can
find out more in the MMI manual.
Lower odometer
The low er odometer shows the total number
of mi les (kilometers) driven.
Upper odometer (trip odometer)
The upper odometer shows the tota l number
of mi les (kilometers) driven since you last re­
set the odometer to zero. You can use this od­
ometer when you want to keep t rack of how
many miles (k ilometers) you have driven for a
single trip or errand. The last digi t indica tes
1/10 of a mile (100 meters) .
You can reset the trip odometer to zero by
pressing the Reset button

Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel range and driving time.
Fig. 16 Trip computer disp lay: Average fue l mil eage
The following dr iving informa tion is con tinu­
ous ly evaluated by the trip computer and can
be displayed sequentially in the instrument
cluster disp lay.
Fuel range
T he es timated cruising range in miles (km )
appea rs in the display. This tells you how far
your vehicle will be ab le to travel on the c ur­
rent tank of fuel and with the same driving
style. The display changes in increments of 6
miles (10 km).
T he cruising range is calculated based on the
fuel consumption for the last 18 miles
(30 km). If you drive conservative ly, the cruis­
ing range will increase.
Average fuel mileage
The average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km)
since you last cleared the memory appears in
t hi s disp lay . You can use this display to adjust
yo ur driving technique to achieve a desired
mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumpt ion in m iles
per gallon ( l/100 km) is shown in this display.
You can use this display to adjust your driving
technique to achieve a desired m ileage .
1111>

Fue l consumption is reca lculated at interva ls
of 33 yards (30 meters). When the vehicle is
stationary, the most recent fue l consumption
is displayed .
Average speed
The average speed in mph (km/h) since the
l ast time the disp lay was reset appears in the
display .
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been driving
since you last reset the memory appears in
this display.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the
l ast time the memory was cleared appears in
the disp lay.
(D Tips
- Fuel consumptions (ave rage and cur­
rent), range and speed are displayed in
metric units on Canadian models.
-All stored va lues w ill be lost if the veh i­
cle battery is disconnected .
Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully
automatic memories as well as an efficiency
program".
Fig. 17 Trip computer d isplay: memo ry level 1
You can switch between the trip computer 1
and 2 and the efficiency program* by pressing
the
! RESET I button @¢ page 25, fig. 18.
You can tell which memo ry level is cur rently
active by the number or the sign in the display
Driver information display 25
¢ fig. 17. The data from the single-trip mem­
ory (memory level 1) is being displayed if a
D
appears in the display . If a fJ is shown, then
the data from the total-trip memory is being
displayed (memory level 2). The fuel pump nozzle
iii indicates the efficiency program*
¢page 26.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip infor­
mation 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 calculat ion 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 automat ical ly. This per­
mits you to evaluate your driv ing data for the
entire period between manua l resets.
Efficiency program*
The efficiency program can help you to use
less fuel ¢

Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two
switches on the windshield wiper lever .
