(mu ltifunction display) menu The multifunction display (MFD) has two au-
tom
atic

memories: 1 - Partial memory and 2 -
Total memory . The selected memory will be
shown in the upper right-hand corner of the

With the ignition switched on, and memory 1
or 2 displayed, briefly press OK to change

1
Trip memo-
ry (for a sin-
gle jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the
journey and the consumption from the
moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than 2
hours, the memory is automatically
erased. If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is switch-
ed off, the new data is added to the data
already stored in the memory.
2 Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory records the values for a spe-
cific number of partial trips, up to a total
of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours
and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles)
for 9999 km (or miles), depending on the
model of instrument panel. On reaching
either of these limits, the memory is au-
tomatically erased and starts to count
from 0 again. Possible displays
Travelling timeThis indicates the hours (h) and mi-
nutes (min) since the ignition was
switched on.

The current fuel consumption while
driving is displayed in l/100 km (or
miles per gallon, mpg); when the en-
gine is running but the vehicle is not
moving, in l/h (or gallons per hour).
Average fuel
consumption
When the ignition is switched on, the
average consumption (in l/100 km or
in mpg) is displayed after the vehicle
has moved approximately 100 metres
(328 feet). Otherwise horizontal lines
are displayed. The value shown is up-
dated approximately every 5 seconds.
Operating
range
Approximate distance in km (or miles)
that can still be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the tank, assuming the
same style of driving is maintained.
This is calculated using the current
fuel consumption.
Distance cov-
eredDistance travelled, after ignition is
switched on, in km (or miles).
Average speed
After the ignition is switched on, the
average speed will be shown after a
distance of approximately 100 metres

CAUTION
All of the vehicle keys contain electronic com-
ponents. Pr ot
ect them from damage, impacts
and humidity. Note
● Only u

se the key button when you require
the corresponding function. Pushing the but-
ton unnecessarily could accidentally unlock
the vehicle or trigger the alarm. It is also pos-
sible even when you are outside the radius of
action.
● Key operation can be greatly influenced by
overl
apping radio signals around the vehicle
working in the same range of frequencies
(e.g. radio transmitters, mobile telephones).
● Obstacles between the remote control and
the vehic
le, bad weather conditions and
draining batteries can considerably reduce
the range of the remote control. Control lamp on the vehicle key
