as a time value on this page. If equipped
and when ACC has been engaged, the
display switches to the gap setting page.
This page shows the current gap setting
along with the vehicle ahead indicator.
Brake Pad Life : This displays an estimate of
the remaining life of the front and rear
brake pads. Messages will display based on
brake pad wear and the state of the system.
Reset the Brake Pad Life display after
replacing the brake pads. See Brake Pad Life
System 0273
Units : Choose US, Imperial, or metric units

available on every vehicle. The following is a
list of all possible menu items:
Fuel Economy :
The center displays the
approximate instantaneous fuel economy as
a number and bar graph. Displayed above
the bar graph is a running average of fuel
economy for the most recently traveled
selected distance. Displayed below the bar
graph is the best average fuel economy that
has been achieved for the selected distance.
The selected distance is displayed at the top
of the page as “last xxx mi/km.”
Top Consumers : List of top comfort
consumers currently switched on is
displayed in descending order. Fuel saving
potential is indicated.
During sporadic driving conditions, the
engine will activate the heated rear window
automatically. In this event, the heated rear
window is indicated as one of the top
consumers, without activation by the driver.

(3 mi) of driving. During driving the bars will
shift to always reflect the most recent distance on the right side. Press and
hold
lor thumbwheel to clear the graph.
ECO Index : Provides feedback on the
efficiency of current driving behavior. The
bar graph shows a value that is based on

estimate is based on an average of the
vehicle's fuel economy over recent driving
history and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. The Instantaneous Fuel
Economy display shows the current fuel
economy in either liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number reflects only the approximate fuel
economy that the vehicle has right now and
changes frequently as driving conditions
change.
Oil Life : Shows an estimate of the oil's
remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE
99% is displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will
appear on the display. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil
