Since start (  ) Or “1” (
 )
The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition 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.
Long-term (  ) And “2” (
 )
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9,999 kilometres driv-
en.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Since refuel (  ) or “3” (
 )
The memory gathers driving information since the last refuelling.
The memory is erased automatically the next time you fill up.

Information overview
Read and observe
on page 45 first.
The overview of the driving data information (the number of items displayed is
different depending on equipment).
Range
The range indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on
the level of fuel in the tank and with the same style of driving as before.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the warning icon 
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the range. The
range can increase if you drive in a more fuel-efficient manner.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption 1)
is calculated since the last time the memory
was erased. 
1)
The units for the displayed consumption are set in the Infotainment
» Infotainment operating instruc-
tions , chapter Device settings .
46Operation

Set the memory to zero at the start of a new measurement if you wish to de-
termine the average fuel consumption over a certain period » page 46.
After erasing the memory, no fuel consumption data will appear for the first 100 m driven.
The indicated information is updated continuously while you are driving.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel
consumption 1)
.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed 2)
.
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range of 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature has been 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 there is a fault in the system for
checking the oil temperature  are displayed instead of the oil temperature.
Warning against speeding
Set the speed limit, e.g. for the maximum permissible speed in towns
» page 47 .
Current driving speed
The current speed display is identical to the display on the speedometer 3
» Fig. 20 on page 30 or » Fig. 21 on page 30 .
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is displayed in km/hour .
Set the memory to zero at the start of measurement to determine the average
speed over a certain period » page 46.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
The indicated information is updated continuously while you are driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
Reset the memory to zero if you want to measure the distance travelled from
a particular moment » page 46.
The maximum distance indicated is 9,999 km. The indicator is automatically
set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
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,
reset the memory to zero at that point in time » page 46.
The maximum distance indicated is 99 hours and 59 minutes. The indicator is
automatically set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Coolant temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature is reached.
If the temperature lies below 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine revs, full
throttle and high engine loads.

Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and boot lid at the same time.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
unlocking
› The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
› 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 SafeLock system is switched off.
› The warning icon in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to
prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
locking
› The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked. 

›The interior light switched by the door contact goes off.
› The SafeLock system is switched on.
› The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of accident! These individuals would
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) impair the function of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away
» page 179 .
■
Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
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
vehicle.Locking/unlocking using the key via the lock cylinderFig. 29
