- When switching the ignition on, the nee
dles in the instrument cluster swing up
ward briefly.
- The illumination for the instrument clus
ter lights up whenever you switch on the
i gnition with the
vehicle headlights off .
As the daylight fades, the instrument
cluster illumination likewise dims auto
matically a nd will go out completely
when the outside light is
very low. This
feature is meant to remind you to switch
on the headlights when outside light
conditions become poor .
Engine coolant temperature gauge
The engine coolant gauge q page 10, fig. 3 CD
only works when the ignition is on. To prevent
damage to your engine, please note the fol
lowing important points:
Engine cold
If the needle is at or close to the bottom of
the gauge, the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid high engine
speeds, heavy engine loads, and heavy throt
tle app lications.
Normal temperature
When the engine has reached its operating
temperature, the needle will
move to the mid
dle of the gauge and remain there . If the en
gine is working hard at high outs ide tempera
tures, the needle may
move higher on the
gauge. This is not a cause for concern as long
as the . warn ing light in the instrument
cluster display does not illuminate. If the.
warning light in the instrument cluster dis
play flashes, this can mean one of two things:
either the coolant
temperature is too high, or
the coolant
level is too low¢ page 17 Ill-

24 Driver information d isplay
Trip computer
Introduction
The trip computer gives you information on
current and average fuel mileage, average
speed, fuel range and driving time .
Fig. 9 Trip computer display: Average fuel mileage
The following information is continuously
eva luated by the trip computer and can be dis
played sequentially in the instrument cluster
display:
Fuel range
The estimated cruising range in miles (km)
appears in the display. This tells you how far
your ve hicle wi ll be able to travel on the cur
rent tank of fuel and with the same driving
style. The display changes in increments of
5 miles (10 km).
The cruising range is calcu lated based on the
fuel consumption for the last 18 miles
(30 km).
If you drive conservat ively, the cruis
ing range will increa se.
Average fuel mileage The average fuel economy in MPG (l/100 km)
since you last cleared the memory appears in
this display. You can use this display to adjust
your driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneous fuel consumption in mi les
per gallon (l/100 km) is shown in this display .
You can use this display to adjust your driving
technique to achieve a desired mileage. Fuel
consumption is recalcu lated at intervals
of 33 yards (30 meters). This disp lay switches
to gallons/hour (liters/hour) when the vehicle is not moving.
Average speed
T he average speed in mph (km/h) s ince you
last reset the memory appears in the display.
Elapsed time
The length of time that you have been driving
s ince you last reset the memory appears in
th is disp lay.
Distance
The distance that has been covered since the
last t ime the memory was cleared appears in
the display.
(0 Tips
- Fuel consumptions (average and cur rent), range and speed are displayed in
metric units on Canadian models.
- All stored values will be lost if the vehi
cle battery is disconnected .
Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully
automatic memories.

Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-t rip memory stores the trip infor
mat ion from the time the ignition is turned on
unti l it is turned
off. If the trip is continued
within 2 hours from the time the ignition was
turned
off, the new data will be included in
the calculation of the current trip informa
tion . If the trip is interrupted for
more than 2
hours
the memory is reset automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the sing le-trip memory, the tota l-trip
memory is not reset automatically. Th is per
mits you to evaluate your driving data for the
entire period between manual resets.
Operation
The trip computer is controlled by two
switches on the windshield wiper lever.
