Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel range and driving time.
Fig. 16 T rip comp ute r di sp lay : Average f ue l m il eage
T he following dr iving inform ation is con tinu ­
o usly evalua ted by the trip computer and can
b e displayed sequentially in the instrument
cluster disp lay.
Fuel range
T he es tim ated cru is ing r ange in miles ( km)
appea rs in the display. T his tells you how far
yo ur vehicle will be ab le to travel on the c ur­
rent ta nk of f uel a nd with the same driving
sty le. The display changes in increments of 6
miles (10 km).
T he cruising range is calculated based o n the
fuel consum ptio n for the last 18 miles
(30 km). I f you drive conservative ly, the cr uis­
i ng range w ill increase.
Average fuel mileage
The aver age f ue l economy in MPG ( l/1 00 km)
s ince you last cleared the memo ry appears in
t hi s disp lay . You can use this display to ad just
yo ur driv ing technique to achieve a desired
mileage.
Current fuel mileage
T he ins tan taneous fuel consum ption in m iles
per gallon ( l/100 km) is shown in this disp lay.
You can use this display to adjust your driving
technique to achieve a desired m ileage .
Ill-

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

¢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 ¢

fi lled out, the vehicle is at high level 2 and has
the greatest amount of ground clearance pos­
sib le.
While the vehicle is being raised or lowered,
the target level is indicated by an arrow@
c::> fig. 187 or a white border @ c::> fig. 188 . The

Limitations to MMI s etting s
Please note that not eve ry dr iving mode can
be selected in every d riving situation . For ex­
ample, it is not possible to switch to "lift"
mode at speeds above 12 mph (20 km/h) .
This mode is then shown
greyed out in the
MMI Display.
The vehicle can only be lowered when
all of
the vehicle's doors are closed. If one door is
open, all driving modes whose level sett ing is
belo w the current vehicle level appear

while the veh icle is being lowered, the lower­
ing p rocess is interrupted u ntil all doors are
closed again .
If the system is temporar ily unava ilable due
to, for instance, an empty compressed air
tank, the driving modes that cannot be set ap­ pear
greyed out in the MM I Disp lay. As soon
as the system is available again, the driv ing
modes can once more be selected in the dis­
p lay .
