Current fuel consumption in l/100 km or l/hour
The dis

play will show the current fuel con-
sumption in litres/100 km whilst the vehicle
is in motion or in litres/hour when the vehicle
is in a stationary position with the engine
running.
Using this display you can see how your driv-
ing style affects fuel consumption
››› page 117.
Av

erage fuel consumption in l/100 km
The average fuel consumption will be shown
after a distance of approximately 100 metres
has been travelled. Until then dashes will ap-
pear in the display. The display will be upda-
ted every five seconds while the vehicle is in
motion. The amount of fuel used will not be
shown.
 Km (miles) - Fuel range
The fuel range is calculated using the figures
for tank content and current fuel consump-
tion. This shows how far the vehicle can trav-
el using the same conditions as a reference.

Operation
● Select the submenu Multifunction Display
Data from the Configuration menu
››› page 54 .
● The di s
plays can be activated or deactiva-
ted individually by marking the required op-
tion and pressing the OK button on the wind-
screen wiper lever or the multifunction steer-
ing wheel*.
Outside temperature indicator
The measurement margin ranges from -45 °C
(-49 °F) to +58 °C (+136.4 °F). At tempera-
tures lower than +4°C (+39.2 °F), an “ice crys-
tal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” is
sounded if the vehicle is moving at more
than 20 km/h (12 mph) (ice warning). This
symbol flashes first for around 10 seconds
and remains lit as long as the outside tem-
perature does not rise above +4 °C (+39.2 °F)
or +6 °C (+42.8 °F) if it was already lit. WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface
even if the “snowflake symbol” is not shown.
For this reason you should not rely exclusive-
ly on this display - Risk of accident! Note
● There are different instrument panels;
therefore the multifunction display may vary.
● When the vehicle is stationary or travelling
at very low speeds, the temperature dis- played may be slightly higher than the actual
outside temperature as a result of the heat
radiated from the engine.
● Vehicles with a multifunction steering
wheel* do not have buttons on the wind-
screen wiper lever. The multifunction display
can only be controlled from the buttons on
the multifunction steering wheel*. Vehicle status menu
