Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights24
The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero with the button
:
• average fuel consumption,
• distance driven,
• average speed,
• Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
Outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4°C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears in front of the temperature indicator and flashes for 10
seconds, then remains displayed together with the outside temperature ⇒ fig. 24.
At the same time an audible signal sounds. After pressing the rocker switch at
the windshield wiper lever ⇒ page 22, fig. 22 or the button at the multifunction
steering wheel ⇒ page 23, fig. 23, the function shown last is indicated.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at temperatures around +4 °C - warning,
drive with care!
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display. If you wish to measure the driving time as of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on the
windshield wiper lever ⇒ page 22, fig. 22 or the handwheel on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel* ⇒ page 23, fig. 23 for longer than 1 second.
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Current consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed.
The indicated value will be updated every 0,5 seconds while you are driving.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒ page 22, fig. 21. This information can help you to adapt
your style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of time
you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the button
