Multi-function display* (on board computer)
Introduction
The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switch-
ed on. When the ignition is switched on the last function selected before it
was switched off is displayed.
The multifunction display data is shown on the screen ⇒ Fig. 33
⇒  page 59.
In vehicles fitted with an informative display ⇒ page 62 the system can be
adjusted so that certain data is not shown.
WARNING
● Always keep your attention on driving! As the driver, you have the full
responsibility for the safety of traffic.
● Do not rely only on the outside temperature indicator to verify wheth-
er the road surface is frozen. This is because with an outside temperature
of +4 °C (+39 °F) ice can generate on the road - Warning of frozen road
surface!
Note
● Models for certain countries can show the values in imperial units.
● If the second speed in mph (km/h) is displayed, the current speed in
km/h (mph) is not displayed on the screen. Memory

display
The multifunction display has two automatic memories. The selected mem-
ory is displayed on the screen ⇒ Fig. 33.

1 appears on the display. When number 2 appears on the display, the total
distance travelled is shown (memory 2).
The memory is selected by pressing button B
⇒ Fig. 34 ⇒ 
page 60.
Current journey memory (memory 1)
The current journey memory collects 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 ex-
isting trip recorder memory. The memory will automatically be deleted if the
journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
Total distance travelled memory (memory 2)
The total distance travelled memory collects journey data from any number
of individual journeys up to a maximum of 19 hours and 59 minutes and
1999 km (miles) or until 99 hours and 59 minutes and 9999 km (miles) in
cars with an informative display. The memory will automatically be deleted
if one of the named values is reached, resetting the data collected. 
