Securing child seats
Ways to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on the rear seat and
on the front passenger seat. You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:
● Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.
● Child seats in groups 0, 0+ and 1 with the ISOFIX and Top Tether* sys-
tems can be secured without using the seatbelt, thanks to the ISOFIX and
Top Tether* securing rings ⇒ page 52.

Suitable for universal approved restraining systems for use in this age
category (universal retention systems are those fitted using the adult
seat belt).
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible, as high as pos-
sible and always disable the airbag.
Suitable for retention systems using the ISOFIX and Top Tether* an-

WARNING
● When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a re-
straint system suitable for age, weight and size.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards on the front passenger
seat unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This could
cause fatal injuries to the child! However, if, in exceptional cases, it is
necessary to transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front pas-
senger airbag ⇒ page 43 must always be disabled and the seat adjusted
to its highest position, where possible.
● Read and always observe information and warnings concerning the
use of child seats ⇒ page 46.

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 61.
In vehicles fitted with an informative display ⇒ page 66 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
Fig. 33 Multifunction
display
The multifunction display has two automatic memories. The selected mem-
ory is displayed on the screen ⇒ Fig. 33.
The current journey data (memory 1) is always displayed when the number
1 appears on the display. When number 2 appears on the display, the total
distance travelled is shown (memory 2).
The memory is selected depending on the equipment:
● by pressing the lever's B
button briefly
⇒ Fig. 34 ⇒ page 62, or else
● briefly pressing the right thumbwheel of the multifunction steering
wheel 1
⇒
Fig. 35.
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

Journey duration
The display shows the time you have covered since the memory was last re-
set. If you wish to measure the duration of a journey from a specific mo-
ment, the memory must be deleted ⇒ page 62.
The maximum time indicated by the two memories is 19 hours 59 minutes
or 99 hours and 59 minutes for vehicles fitted with an informative display.
The memory is reset if this value is exceeded.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption is indicated on the display in litres/100km
(miles) 1)
. You can adapt your driving style to the required consumption with
the assistance of this indicator.
The consumption is displayed in litres per hour while the vehicle is stopped
or at idling speed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The display shows the average fuel consumption in litres/100km (miles) 1)
calculated since the memory was last reset ⇒ page 61.
If you wish to measure the average fuel consumption from a specific period,
the memory must first be deleted ⇒ page 62. While driving the first 300 m
after deleting the memory this value is not shown on the display.
The value is updated regularly while the vehicle is in motion.
