Switching over the memory using the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the wind-
screen wiper lever or using the adjustment wheel D
on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to
a total of 19
hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi-
cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and
59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei-
ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period
of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected. ÐOperation

Instruments and Indicator Lights

Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display. If you wish to measure the driving time from a particular point in time,
you must set the memory to zero at this point in time by pressing the button
B
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the windscreen wiper lever or the adjustment wheel D
on the multifunction steering wheel.
The maximum time indicated in both memories is 19 hours and 59
minutes and on
vehicles which are fitted with an information display, it is 99 hours and 59 mi-
nutes. The indicator is set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km 1)
. You
can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel consump-
tion.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km 1)
» page 12.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of
time, you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the
button B
» Fig. 6
on page 13
on the windscreen wiper lever or the adjustment
wheel D
on the multifunction steering wheel. After erasing the memory, no val-
ue appears in the display until you have driven approx. 300 m.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the dis-
tance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the level of fuel in the tank
and the same style of driving.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light 
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the range. The
range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner. If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consump-
tion of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted
accordingly to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the dis-
play » page 12. If you wish to measure the distance driven from a particular time,
you must set the memory to zero at this point in time by pressing the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the windscreen wiper lever or the adjustment wheel D
on the multifunction steering wheel.
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1

999 km or 9 999 km on
vehicles with an information display. The indicator is set back to zero if this period
is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour » page 12 . If you wish to determine the average speed over a certain pe-
riod of time, you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement
using the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the windscreen wiper lever or the ad-
justment wheel D
on the multifunction steering wheel.
After erasing the memory, no value appears in the display until you have driven
approx. 300 m.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Current speed
The current speed which is identical to the display of the speedometer 2
»
Fig. 2
on page 8 is indicated on the display.
Oil temperature
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for checking
the oil temperature is present, only - -.- is displayed instead of the oil tempera-
ture. Ð1)
On some models in certain countries, the display appears in kilometres/litre.
2) On some models in certain countries, - -.- km/ltr. is displayed when the vehicle is stationary.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Manually adjusting the front seats 67
Adjusting front seats electrically 67
Memory function of the power seat 68
Memory function of the remote control key 68
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for:
› safely and quickly reaching the controls;
› a relaxed, fatigue-free body position;
› achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system. WARNING
■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk of accident!
■ Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention. ■ As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch-
ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat-
tended in the car. ■ The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system -
risk of injury! ■ Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle. WARNING (Continued)
■ Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 154, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■ The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
■ Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat passenger. You
will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the
brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
■ It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this mini-
mum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you - hazard!
■ Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as they may get caught be-
hind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would then no lon-
ger be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate.
■ Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects
(e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose - risk of accident! Note
■ After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle. ■ For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat
memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back-
rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■ When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings
will be deleted. Ð
