1 Single trip
memory
The memory accumulates and stores infor-
mation about distance driven and fuel used from
the time the ignition was switched on until the
time it was switched off.
If the ignition stays off for 2 hours or more,
stored information is automatically deleted. If the
trip is continued within 2 hours after the ignition
was switched off, the new values are added.
2 Total trip
memory
The memory displays and stores the accumulat-
ed driving and fuel consumption data of any
number of single trips up to a total driving time
of 99 hours and 59 minutes, and up to a total
distance of 9,999 miles (9,999 km). If one of the
maximum values is exceeded, then the memory
is automatically cleared and starts again from 0.

Possible MFI menu displays
The following displays can be accessed in the MFI menu if enabled
under Settings > MFI data. Displays that are not enabled will not
appear.

Never install leather upholstery on a vehicle with seat heating
that originally had cloth upholstery. The seat heating elements
for seats with cloth seats will overheat if the cloth upholstery is
replaced with leather upholstery.
Switch off seat heating when it is not needed to help reduce un-
necessary fuel consumption.

WARNING
Improper use of the folding outside mirrors can cause personal
injury.
Always make sure that nobody is in the way when folding the
mirrors in or out.
Make sure that you do not get your finger caught between the
mirror and the mirror base when moving the mirrors.
WARNING
Incorrectly estimating distances with the right outside mirror
can cause collisions and serious injury.
The right outside mirror has a convex (curved) surface. This
widens your field of vision. But vehicles or other objects seen
in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are.
If you use the right outside mirror to judge distances from
vehicles behind you when changing lanes, you could estimate
incorrectly and cause a crash and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the inside mirror to more accurately
judge distance and size of vehicles or other objects seen in the
convex mirror.
Always make sure you have a clear view to the rear of the ve-
hicle.
NOTICE
Always fold in the outside mirrors when taking the vehicle
through an automatic car wash.
Never fold power mirrors in manually because doing so could
damage the electrical drive.
To reduce fuel consumption, use outside mirror heating only
when needed.
When first switched on, outside mirror heating works with maxi-
mum heat for about 2 minutes.

WARNING
Transporting heavy or bulky loads on the roof rack will change
the way the vehicle handles by shifting the vehicle's center of
gravity and increasing the wind drag.
Always secure the load properly with suitable and undam-
aged straps so that the load will not shift.
Cargo that is large, heavy, bulky, long or flat will have a nega-
tive effect on the vehicle's aerodynamics, center of gravity and
overall handling.
Always avoid sudden maneuvers and hard braking.
Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and
the weight distribution in the vehicle. Take road, weather, traf-
fic, and visibility conditions into account as well.
NOTICE
Always remove the roof rack before driving through an auto-
matic car wash.
Your vehicle is higher when the roof rack is installed, especial-
ly when it is loaded. Compare the vehicle height with existing
clearance heights, such as underpasses and garage doors.
Always make sure that the roof rack system and anything be-
ing carried on it does not interfere with the roof antenna, the
power sunroof or the luggage compartment lid.
Make sure that the luggage compartment lid does not touch
items on the roof rack when opened.
If a roof rack is installed, fuel consumption increases due to in-
creased air resistance.

inflation pressure sensors ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
Driving without valve caps, with the wrong valve caps, or with
valve caps that are not properly screwed on can damage the tire
valves and the sensors on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). To help prevent
damage, always use valve stem caps like those originally in-
stalled at the factory. The caps must be screwed on tightly. Do
not use metal valve caps or “comfort” valve stem caps.
Underinflation increases fuel consumption.
There may be differences between the pressure readings from a
tire pressure gauge and the pressures registered by the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. The electronic Tire Pressure Monitoring System
is more accurate.
When the TPMS warns that the pressure in at least one tire is too
low, check the tire pressure in all 4 tires with an accurate tire pressure
gauge. Low tire pressure usually cannot be spotted by looking at the
tire. This is especially true for low-profile tires. When checking the tire
pressures, refer to ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Tire inflation pressure in cold tires

When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with
TPMS always read and heed the information and all WARNINGS
regarding tires and wheels ⇒  Tires and wheels.
NOTICE
The wheel electronics are attached to special aluminum valves
on the wheels. These valves are screwed on rigidly. Never bend
the valves “into position” when checking and adjusting tire
pressure.
Missing valve stem caps can cause damage to the valves as
well as to the TPMS sensors. To help prevent damage, always
use valve stem caps like those originally installed at the factory.
The caps must be screwed on tightly. Do not use metal valve
stem caps.
Do not use “comfort valve caps.” They do not seal properly
and can damage the sensors.
When replacing or rotating tires, make certain the valves and
sensors are not damaged.
The aluminum valves that are installed should be replaced
after about 6 years of use because of aging in the rubber seals.
The valves can be replaced when a tire is changed. Do not reuse
aluminum valves after they are removed. They must be replaced.
The tire pressure sensor can be reused.
When replacing the valve cores, use only nickel-plated re-
placement cores.
The batteries in the wheel electronics last up to 10 years. It is
not possible to replace the batteries. The entire device must be
replaced.
Underinflation increases fuel consumption and tire wear.
Dispose of the wheel electronics and the old batteries in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner. Batteries of the type used in the
wheel electronics may contain Perchlorate Material. Special handling
may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hadardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey
all applicable legal requirements regarding proper disposal.

Vehicles with gear recommendation aid in fuel efficient driving by in-
dicating the optimum time to shift gears.
Coasting
If you take your foot off the accelerator, fuel delivery to the engine is
interrupted, which lowers fuel consumption.
Therefore, when nearing a red stop light, for instance, allow the vehi-
cle to coast without using the accelerator. Press the clutch pedal and
release it only if the vehicle moving too slowly or the coasting dis-
tance is too long. The engine will then continue to run at idle.
In situations where the vehicle will be stopped for a longer period of
time, such as at a railroad crossing, physically switch off the engine.
Defensive driving and “flowing” with traffic
Frequent braking and acceleration increase fuel consumption signifi-
cantly. Just by driving defensively and keeping a sufficiently large
distance away from the vehicle in front of you can make up for the
speed fluctuations caused by taking your foot off the accelerator. Ac-
tive braking and accelerating is then not necessarily required.
Calm and smooth driving
Consistency is more important than speed. The more smoothly you
drive, the less fuel the vehicle consumes.
When driving on the highway or freeway, a constant, moderate speed
is more efficient and economical than constantly accelerating and
braking. Usually you can reach your destination just as quickly by
driving at a moderate, but steady speed.
The cruise control system can assist in maintaining a uniform driving
style.
Moderate use of extra electrical loads
Comfort inside the vehicle is nice and important, but it is important to
use them in an environmentally conscious manner.
Some devices can increase fuel consumption when activated (exam-
ples):
Climate control system (air conditioner): If the air conditioner has to
produce starkly contrasting temperatures, it requires a large amount
of energy, which is generated by the engine. The temperature in the
vehicle should therefore not be extremely different from that of the
