Mileage recorder
Fig. 11 Instrument cluster: Mileage recorder and reset
button
The mileage is stated in kilometres ("km") or
miles. You can switch the display from kilometres
to miles and vice versa via the infotainment sys­
tem.
Right mileage recorder
The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is used to
measure individual journeys. The last digit of the
trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or
tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be reset to zero by pressing
the reset button �-
Left mileage recorder
The odometer on the left records the vehicle's to­
tal mileage.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instruments, the letters
DEF appear in the trip recorder display. Have the
fault rectified as soon as possible.
On-board computer
Fig. 12 Instrument cluster: Time and date display
22 Fig.
13 Instrument cluster: Consumption display
You can call up the following information se­
quentially on the on-board computer:
- Time & date ¢ page 186
- Average fuel consumption (ltr./100 km)
- Single journey memory summary
- Total journey memory summary
The single journey memory processes the infor­
mation on a journey from the time the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off. If the journey
is resumed within two hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new figures are automatically
included in the calculation.
Unlike the single journey memory, the total jour­
ney memory is not erased automatical ly. In this
way, you can determine the period for which you
wish the on-board computer to supply driving in­
formation.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown in a
bar display ¢ Fig. 13. The average fuel consump­
tion (ltr./100 km) from the single journey memo­
ry can also be displayed. If the bar turns green,
your vehicle is saving fuel using one of the fol­
lowing functions:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is trav­
elling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In
this case, the bar will move towards the 0
symbol.
- Coasting mode*¢ page 75.

- Keep sparks, flame and lighted cigarettes
away from batteries: the gases given off can
cause an explosion.
- If jump-starting another vehicle, position
the jump Leads in such a way that they can­
not come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment of the oth­
er vehicle.
CD CAUTION
Please note that the above method of con­
necting the Leads is intended for jump-start­
ing your vehicle. If jump-starting another ve­
hicle, you should not connect the negative
lead (-) to the negative terminal of the dis­
charged battery, but directly to the engine
block or a solid metal part bolted to the en­
gin e block. If the battery of the other vehicle
does not have a gas vent, there is a risk that a
mixture of oxygen and hydrogen gas can accu­
mulate and cause an explosion.
@ Note
- The battery is vented to the outside to pre­
vent gases entering the vehicle's interior.
- Connect the battery clamps so they have
good metal-to-metal contact with the bat­
tery terminals.
Tow-starting / towing
away
General notes
Some experience is required to tow or tow-start a
vehicle, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique re­
quired for towing. Inexperienced drivers should
not attempt to tow-start or tow away another ve­
hicle.
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and
take care to avoid jerking the tow-rope. When
towing off-road, there is always a risk that the
anchorage points may be overloaded.
Tow-bar / tow-rope
It is easier and safer to tow the vehicle with a
tow-bar. You should only use a tow-rope if you do
250 not
have a tow-bar. It is advisable to use a tow­
rope made of elastic synthetic fibre or similarly
elastic material.
Notes on towing vehicles
The vehicle can be towed with a tow-bar or tow­
rope. When the engine is not running, the gear­
box will not be adequately Lubricated if the fol­
lowing speed/distance restrictions are not ob­
served:
- The vehicle must not be towed faster than
SO km/h.
- The vehicle must not be towed further than
50km.
Additi onal notes on towing by breakdown
truck
If one of the axles has to be raised in order to tow
the vehicle, please refer to the following table to
determine the appropriate axle for your gearbox/
drive combination:
Front-wheel IFour-wheel
drive drive
Manual Front
or rear Front or rear
gearbox axle
axle
Automatic gearbox Front
axle Front axle
Four-wheel drive: If the vehicle is to be towed
with one of the axles raised, the ignition must be
switched off; otherwise the drive train can be
damaged.
Notes on tow-starting
Automatic gearbox: For technical reasons, your
vehicle must not be tow-started.
Manual gearbox: As a general rule, tow-starting
is not recommended. If the engine will not start,
it is best to try starting it using the battery of an­
other vehicle ¢ page 248 before attempting to
tow start. If this is not possible, you can try to
push-star t or tow-start the vehicle ¢ page 251,
