28 Driver information system
On-board computer display
The on-boa rd compute r display monitors the
different memory levels:
- Sho rt-term memo ry (on-board computer 1)
- Long-term memory (on-board computer
2)
-Efficiency program
The fo llow ing information can be displayed in
on-boa rd computer
1 and 2 one after the oth­
er.
- Date
- Estimated range based on current fuel leve l
- T rave l time
- Average consumption
- Average speed
- Distance
- Current fuel consumption
- Engine oil temperature indicator*
On-board computer D (short-term
memory)
The sho rt-term memory co llects driving infor­
mation from the time the ignit ion is switched
on until it is switched off. If you continue dr iv­
ing
within two hours after switching the igni­
tion off, the new values are included when cal­
culating the current trip information. If stop­ ped for more the two hours, the short term
memory is automatically erased once you be­
g in driving .
On-board computer fJ (long-term
memory)
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can
select the time period for evaluating trip in­
formation yourself.
Efficiency program~
The efficiency program can help you to use
less fuel ~
page 29 .
(D Tips
-The on-board computer is controlled by
the left button f ields on the mult ifunc­
t ion steering wheel. -
For information on using the other but­
ton f ields, such as the audio, telephone*
and navigation* funct ions, see the MMI

Aud i adapti ve lig ht*
The adaptive light on ly functions when the
light switch is in the AUTO position. You can
deactivate adaptive light in the MMI
c:> page
48.
When switched on, adapt ive light adjusts to
curves depending on the vehicle speed and
steering whee l ang le. This provides better
l ighting through the curve . The system op er­
ates in a speed range from approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) to 68 mph (110 km/h).
St atic corner ing li ght * (vehicles with adaptive
l ight) -th e corne ring light switches on auto ­
matically when the steering whee l is tu rned at
a cert ain angle a t speeds up to approximately
44 mph (70 km/h) and when the turn signal is
activated at speeds up to approximately
25 mph (40 km /h). The area to the s ide of the
ve hicle is il luminated better when turning .
Spee d d epen de nt ligh t dist rib uti on* -The
speed dependent light distribution adapts the
light in towns and on highways or express­
ways . Inte rsect io ns can also be illuminated on
veh icles w ith a navigation system* .
Highway light function*
(Vehicles with adaptive light or L ED head ­
lights) -This function adapts the light ing for
h ighway driving based on vehicle speed .
A WARNING
-Automatic headligh ts* are only intended
to assist the dr iver. They do not re lieve
the driver of responsibility to check the headlights and to turn them on manua lly
according to the current light and visib ili­
ty conditions. For example, fog cannot be detected by the light sensors. So al­
ways switch on the low beam under
these weather conditions and when driv­ ing in the dark
io .
-Acc idents could occur if you cannot see
the road ahead of you well and if othe rs
on the road cannot see you. Always
swit ch you r headlights on so that you can Ligh
ts and Visi on 4 7
see the road ahead of you and ot hers can
see your vehicle from behind.
- Please observe legal regulations when
using the lighting systems described.
(D Note
The rear fog lights shou ld only be turned
on in accordance with traffic regu lations,
to prevent glare for traffic behind your ve­
hicle.
(D Tips
- The light sensor for the automatic head ­
lights * is in the rearview mirror mount.
Therefore, do not place any stickers in
this area on the windshield .
- Some functions of the exterior lighting
can be adjusted
c:> page 48.
-If you turn off the ignition while the ex­
terior lights are on and open the door,
you will hear a warning tone.
- The tail lights do not switch on when the
daytime running lights switch on.
- In cool or damp weather, the inside of
the headlights, turn signals and tail
lights can fog over due to the tempera­
ture difference between the inside and
outside . They w ill clear shortly after
switching them on . This does not affect
the se rvice life of the lighting.
- A message w ill appear in the instrument
cluster if there is a malfunction in the

detailed information about airbags, safety
belts and child safety in this and the other
chapters that make up the owner's literature.
Please be sure to heed the WARNINGS -they
are ex tremely important for your safety and
the safety of your passengers, especially in ­
fants and small children .
A WARNING
Never rely on airbags alone for protection.
- Even when they deploy, airbags provide only supplemental protection .
- Airbag work most effectively when used
with properly worn safety belts .
- Therefore, always wear your safety belts
and make sure that everybody in your ve ­
hicle is properly restrained .
- Always hold the steering wheel with both
hands on the outside of the steering
wheel rim at the 9:00 o'clock and 3:00
o'clock positions to help reduce the risk
of personal injury if the driver's airbag in­
flates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position or with your hands any­
where inside the steering wheel or on the
steering wheel hub. Holding the steering
wheel the wrong way increases the risk of severe injury to the arms, hands, and
head if the driver airbag deploys .
A WARNING
Objects between you and the airbag will
increase the risk of injury in a crash by in­
terfering with the way the airbag unfolds
and/or by being pushed into you as the air­
bag inflates.
- Always make sure nothing is in the front
airbag deployment zone that could be
struck by the airbag when it inflates.
- Objects in the zone of a deploying airbag
can become projectiles when the airbag
deploys and cause serious personal in­
jury.
- Never hold things in your hands or on
your lap when the vehicle is in use .
-
Airbag system 149
-Never place accessories or other objects
(such as cup holders, telephone brackets,
note pads, navigation systems, or things
that are large, heavy, or bulky) on the
doors; never attach then to the doors or
the windshield; never place them over or
near or attach them to the area marked
,,AIRBAG " on the steering wheel, instru­
ment panel or the seat backrests; never
place them between these areas and you
or any other person in the vehicle.
- Never attach objects to the windshield
above the passenger front airbag, such
as accessory GPS navigation units or mu­
sic players. Such objects could cause seri­
ous injury in a collision, especially when
the airbags inflate.
- Never recline the front passenger seat to transport objects. Items can also move
into the deployment area of the side air ­
bags or the front airbag during breaking
or in a sudden maneuver . Objects near
the airbags can fly dangerously through
the passenger compartment and cause
injury, particularly when the seat is re­
clined and the airbags inflate.
A WARNING
-=
A person on the front passenger seat , es-
pecially infants and small children, will re­
ceive serious injuries and can even be kil­
led by being too close to the airbag when
it inflates.
- Although the Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle is designed to turn
off the
front passenger airbag if an infant or a
small child is on the front passenger
seat, nobody can absolutely guarantee
that deployment under these special conditions is impossible in all conceiva­
ble situations that may happen during
the useful life of your vehicle.
- The Advanced Airbag System can deploy
in accordance with the ,,low risk" option
for 3-and 6-year-old children under the
