or ¢ page 10, fig . 3 only functions when
the ignition is switc hed on . To prevent engine
damage, please observe the following notes
about the temperature ranges.
Cold rang e
If onl y the L EDs at the bottom o f th e ga uge tu rn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem ­
pe rature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac ­
celerat ing and heavy engine loads .
Normal range
The engine has reached its oper ating temper a­
ture once the LEDs up to the center o f th e ga uge
turn on. If
the . indicator lig ht in the instru­
ment cluster display turns on, the coolant tern -
~ perature is too high ¢ page 25 .

Unlike the short-term memory , the long-term
memory is not erased automatica lly. Yo u can se ­
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa­
tion yourself.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumpt ion can be shown us­
ing a bar graph
r=> fig. 14. The average consump­
tion stored in the short-term memory is also dis ­
p layed . If the bar is green, your vehicle is saving
fue l through the following function:
-Recuperation : electrical energy can be stored in
the vehicle battery when the vehicle is coasting
or driving downhill. The bar will move toward
0.
Energy consumers*
The Energy consumers view lists other equip­
men t that is currently affecting fuel consump­
tion. The display shows up to t hree energy con -

adv ice for efficient driving .
T he efficiency program receives distance and con ­
sumpt ion data from the short-term memory. If
the data in the effic iency program is deleted, the
va lues in the s hort -term memory are also reset .
T he fo llow ing additional displays may be availa­
