Speedometer with odometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.
Fig. 43 Detailed view of
the instrument panel:
Odometer
The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models, how-
ever, the odometer will show “miles”.
Lower odometer
The lower odometer records the vehicle's total mileage.
Upper odometer (trip recorder)
The upper odometer shows the distance that has been travelled since the
trip recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of
the trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or one tenths of a mile.
The upper odometer can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button
⇒  Fig. 43. Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters
DEF will appear perma-
nently in the trip recorder display. Please have the fault repaired as soon as
possible.
Electronic immobiliser
The vehicle key data is consulted when the ignition is switched on.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE* will appear in the trip record-
er display. The vehicle can no longer be started if that happens. 
Fuel reserve
The display only works when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol lights up in the in-
strument panel display ⇒ page 83. At this point there are still about 8 to
10 litres of fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
You can consult the tank capacity of your vehicle in the ⇒ page 314, Di-
mensions and capacities section.
CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is an irregular fuel supply, misfir-
ing can occur. This means that fuel could reach the exhaust system without
burning. This may lead to the catalytic converter reheating and being dam-
aged. 
