(D Tips
The illumination for the instrument cluster
lights up whenever you switch on the igni
tion with the
vehicle headlights off . As
the daylight fades, the instrument cluster
illuminat ion 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 (D
only works when the ignition is on. To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the fol
lowing important po ints:
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom of
the gauge, the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid high engine
speeds, heavy engine loads, and heavy throt
tle app lications.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating
temperature, the needle will move to the mid
dle of the gauge and remain there . If the en
gine is working hard at high outs ide tempera
tures, the needle may move higher on the
gauge. This is not a cause for concern as long
as the . warning light in the instrument
cluster display does not illuminate. .,..
Instrument s and warning /indicator lights 13
Odometer
The odometer indicates the distance driven.
Fig. 6 Instrument cluster: odometer
Fig. 7 Instr ument cluster: reset button
The display of distance driven is shown in kilo
meters "km" or in "m iles".
- USA models -Miles
- Canada models -Kilometers
You can switch from kilometers to miles or
vise versa in the radio or in the MMI*. You can learn more about this in the MM
I manual or in
the radio user 's manual.
Odometer /trip odometer
T he odometer shows the total number of kilo
meters or m iles that have been driven on the
vehicle.
The trip odometer shows the distance driven s ince it was last reset.
It can be used to meas
ure short distances . The last digit shows dis
tances of 100 meters or 1/10 of a mile.
The trip odometer can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button
10 .019 fig. 7.
Malfunction message
If there is a malfunction somewhere in the in
strument cluster,
dEF will appear in the trip
odometer and w ill stay on. Contact your au

(D Note
If you disconnect the battery terminals, no
calculations can be made for the service
int erva l display during this time and no
serv ice reminder will appear. Remember
that observing the proper serv ice intervals
is vitally important to extending the life of
your vehicle, particularly the engine, and
maintaining its value. Do not exceed the
time interval for the next service, even if
the veh icle m ileage is low.
(D Tips
- Do not reset the display between oil

Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel rang e and driving tim e.
Fi g. 15 Trip computer display: Average fuel mileage
The fo llow ing informa tion is cont in uously
eva luate d by the trip compu ter and can be dis

Fuel range
The estim ated cruising r ange in miles (k m)
appears in the display . This te lls you how far
your veh icle w ill be able to t ravel on the cur
rent tank of fue l and with the same dr iving
style. The display changes in increments of 6
m iles (10 km).
Average fuel mileage
The ave rage fue l economy in MPG (l/ 100 km)
since you last clea red the memory appears i n
this display. Yo u can use th is disp lay to adjust
your driving technique to achieve a desired
mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneo us fue l cons umption in miles

The speed warning system has
two warning
thresholds
that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat d ifferent
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warn ing 1 to set the maxi
mum speed wh ile you are dr iv ing. This sett ing
will remain in effect unt il you turn off the igni
tion, assuming that you have not changed or
reset the setting.
The speed warning symbol. (USA models)/
• (Canada mode ls) in the warning 1 display
appears when you exceed the maximum
speed . It goes out when the speed fa lls below
the stored maximum speed.
The speed warn ing symbo l wi ll also go out if
the speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed
by more than about 25 mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The s tored maximum speed
is deleted .

Speed warning
2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you al
ways
want to be reminded of a certa in speed,
for example when you are trave ling in a coun
try that has a general maximum speed limit,
or if you do not want to exceed a specified
speed for winte r ti res.
The speed warning 2 symbol ,. (USA mod
e ls)/ . (Canada models) appears in the dis
p lay when you exceed the stored speed limit.
Unlike wa rning 1, it will not go out until the
vehicle speed drops below the stored speed
limit.
