The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated electronically.
Depending on vehicle, the following
functions can be selected by pressing button repeatedly on end of wiper
lever:
■ Fuel used
■ Average consumption
■ Instantaneous consumption
■ Range
■ Distance travelled
■ Average speed
■ Distance before service
■ Clock
■ Cruise control and speed limiter stored speed
■ Fault and information messages
Fuel used Displays the amount of fuel
consumed since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time by pressing and holding
button.
Average consumption
The value is displayed after driving a distance of 0.25 miles.
Average consumption is displayed,
taking into consideration the distance
travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 20 mph.
Range The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
The range will not display if control
indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 81.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Distance travelled Displays the distance driven since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.

112Driving and operating
Service modePress button i for 5 seconds to put
the vehicle into service mode. The indicator light will illuminate. When
service mode has been activated, the
air suspension master switch must be turned off.
To exit service mode, press button
i again for 5 seconds.
Fault If a fault is detected, i button will
flash intermittently. If the service
mode has been activated and there is a fault h, S and R buttons will flash
simultaneously.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
and the emission of smells and
smoke during this process is normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by illumination of control
indicator A 3 79. Seek the
assistance of a workshop immediately.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
