Recommended gear
In order to minimise the fuel consumption, a recommendation for shifting into an-
other gear is indicated in the display.
If the system recognises that it is beneficial to change gear, an arrow
B

sion or for vehicles with an automatic transmission in manual shift mode (Tiptron-
ic).
For vehicles with manual transmission, the

Memory
Fig. 9
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. 9.
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 calculation 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.

Information overview
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 25.
The amount of information displayed may differ depending on the equipment.
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 time travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
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 to zero » 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 low
speed 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 range 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 as before.
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.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 .
To determine the average speed over a certain period of time, set the memory tozero at the start of the measurement » page 26, Memory .
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Current driving speed
The current speed displayed is identical to the display on the speedometer2
» Fig. 2 on page 10 .
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating tem-
perature is reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine revs,
full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for checking
the oil temperature is present, 
