Informative text
Information relating to different vehicle processes. Mileage
The odomet
er
r
egisters the total distance
travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip ) shows the distance
travelled since the last odometer reset. The
last digit of the trip recorder indicates distan-
ces of 100 metres or one tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
When the outside temperature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the symbol “ice crystal” (warning of
risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the temperature. At first this symbol flashes and
then it rem
ains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6°C (+43°F) ››› .
When the v
ehic
le is at a standstill, with the
auxiliary heating on ( ››› page 180), or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature, as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).
Compass

tem on, the cardinal point corresponding to
the vehicle's direction of travel is displayed
on the instrument panel ››› page 103.

lever is shown on the side of the lever, and

sponding gear is also displayed.
