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.
3)
Applies to vehicles using the MAXI DOT display.
27Information system
Time
The time, time format (12 or 24 hour indicator) and the changeover between sum-
mer/winter time can be set here.
Winter tyres
Here, you can set the speed at which an audible signal should sound. This func-
tion is, for example, used for winter tyres where the maximum permissible speed
is lower than the maximum speed of the vehicle » page 220.
The following message appears in the display when exceeding the speed limit: Winter tyres: maximum ... km/h.
Units of measurement
The units for the temperature, consumption and distance driven can be set here.
Assistants
The tones of the audible signals for the parking aid can be adjusted here.
Alt. speed dis.
Here, the display of the second speed in mph 1)
can be activated.
Service
Here you can have the remaining kilometres and days until the next service inter-
val displayed, and reset the Service Interval Display.
Factory setting
Here, the factory settings of the display can be restored.
Service Interval Display
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Prompt in the segment display
30
Prompt in the MAXI DOT display
31
Before the next service interval is reached, a message concerning the kilometres
and days remaining until the next service is due is shown for about 10 seconds
after the ignition is switched on.
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km or, where
applicable, days until the service due date is reached.
Note
■ Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle bat-
tery is disconnected.■
If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.
