WARNING■Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road sur-
face! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature display
for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note
■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures.■
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is not
indicated in km/h on the display.
■
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.

Memory
Fig. 10
Multi-function display - Display example of the memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 25.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories, 1 and 2. The
selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 10.
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 collates the data from any number of individual trips up to
a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or a 1999 km distance or, for vehicles with a
MAXI DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or a 9999 km distance. The memory is deleted when either 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.

ings
on page 25.
Outside temperature
The current outside temperature is displayed.
For vehicles with a MAXI DOT display this information is always shown. 
26Using the system

Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased appears in
the display. If you want to measure the time travelled from a particular moment in time on, at this moment, reset the memory by setting the button tozero » page 26 , Memory .
The maximum time indicated in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes and on vehicles which are fitted with a MAXI DOT display, it is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is displayed in litres/100 km 1)
. You can use this
information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel consumption.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a lowspeed 2)
.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is displayed in
litres/100 km 1)
.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of
time, you must set the memory at the start of the new measurement to
zero » page 26 , Memory . After erasing the memory, no value is displayed until you
have driven approx. 300 m.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Range
The estimated range is displayed in kilometres. It indicates the distance 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 information. The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), a fuel consumptionof 10 l./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is updated ac-
cording to the style of driving.Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed » page 26,
Memory . If you want to measure the distance travelled from a particular moment
in time on, at this moment, reset the memory by setting the button to
zero » page 26 , Memory .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1 999 km or 9 999 km on vehicles with a MAXI DOT 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 displayed in km/
hour » page 26 , Memory . To determine the average speed over a certain period of
time, set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement » page 26, Memory .
After erasing this data, no value appears in the display until you have driven ap- prox. 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 10 is displayed.
Oil temperature 3)
The current engine oil temperature is displayed. 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 temperature.
Warning against excessive speeds
The warning that the speed limit is being exceeded can be enabled / disa-
bled » page 28 , Warning against excessive speeds in the display.
1)
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.

Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel filler
flap and tailgate at the same time based on the current setting 1)
.
The safe securing system » page 35 is integrated in the central locking system.
Once the car is locked from the outside, the door locks are automatically blocked
by the safe securing system »
.
The following takes place after unlocking 1)
.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
› The interior light, which is switched by the door contact, comes on.
› The safe securing system is switched off.
› The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.

› The indicator light in the driver door begins flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
Displaying an error
If the indicator light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.WARNING■ If the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open either a door or a
window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers
to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.
Note
■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi- cle.■
In case of failure of the central locking the driver's door can only be unlocked or
locked with the key. The other doors and the tailgate can be emergency locked or emergency released. ■Emergency locking of the door » page 240.
