» Fig. 20 on page 30 or » Fig. 21 on page 30 shows the ac-
tual engine speed per minute.
The beginning of the red scale range of the tachometer indicates the maxi-
mum permitted engine speed of a driven-in and operating warm engine.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu- tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 43.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -

CAUTIONNever drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
■ After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous
curves, braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indi-
cates approx. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the
fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.■

Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip 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.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1 999 kilometres driven ( ), and a total
of 99 hours and 59 minutes or 9 999 kilometres driven ( ).
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
The following values of the selected memory are set to zero. › Average fuel consumption.
› Distance driven.
› Average speed.
› Driving time.
Note

The information overview of the Multifunction Display (the number of itemsdisplayed is different depending on equipment).
Outside temperature
The current outside temperature is displayed.
For vehicles with a MAXI DOT display this information is always shown.
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 44, Memory .
The maximum time indicated in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes ( )
and 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 44 , 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 with 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 consump-
tion of 10 l./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is updated
according 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, reset the memory to zero at that moment in time » page 44, Memory .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1 999 km. ( ) and
9 999 km ( ). 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
to zero at the start of the measurement » page 44, 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 speedometer3

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.
