Read and observe on page 45 first.
Certain driving data values (e.g. average fuel consumption) are recorded in the
memory.
The driving data operate using three memories.
Display of the selected memory in the display at position
A
» Fig. 28 .
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.
Warning at excessive speeds
Read and observe
on page 45 first.
The system allows you to set a speed limit and when this is reached, an acous-
tic warning signal sounds.
The following warning message is shown in the display. Speed … km exceeded.
