Trip computer
This feature generates much helpful infor­
mation by simple touch control. For the driv­
er's convenience, the computer's memory
display window is integrated in the instru­
ment cluster.
The computer function control
switches are located in the windshield
wiper switch lever.
The switches are functional only when the
ignition is turned on. Depressing the upper
or lower edge of the rocker switch (see ar­
row in illustration) will display functions ei­
ther in forward or reverse order.
14 6 The
"Reset" touch control on the
bottom of the switch serves several
functions.
By depressing "Reset" for 2 seconds, the
"d riving time", "average fuel consump­
ti on", and "average driving speed" can be
reset.
The "miles or kilometres to empty" display
cannot be reset.
By pushing "Reset" briefly, the computer's
alert signal for driving time can be inter­
rupted.
The digital display in the instrument cluster
can be switched on and off by pressing the
"R eset" button briefly.
When the ignition is switched on, the
display shows the function that was last se­
lected.
All the stored values are cancelled if the bat­
tery is disconne cted. The
trip computer has five display modes:
• Instantaneous fuel consumption
• Miles or kilometres to empty
• Driving time (maximum range is
23 hours: 59 minutes)
• Average fuel consump tion
• Avera ge driving speed
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
shown in the illustration by way of an exam­
ple.

1/1 00 km -Instantaneous
(MPG) fuel
consumption
Fuel consumed instantaneously IS mea­
sured every 1 00 feet or 30 meters and dis­
played in units of miles per gallon (MPG) or
liters per 100 kilometres (1/1 OOkm). When
this function is selected right after engine
start -up, the display will show the average
fuel consump tion figure for the first 100
feet or 30 meters. When the vehicle is sta­
tionar y, the last unit measured will be dis­
played.
km -Kilome tres or miles to
{Mi) empty
The displa yed information (indicated in
stages of 5 miles or 1 0 kilometres) is based
on the average fuel consumption computed
during the last 20 miles or 30 kilometers. This
feature informs the driver how many
miles or kilometres of normal and smooth
driving can be covered with whatever
amount of fuel remains in the tank. Fuel
economy is the result of good driving habits.
h Driving time
Driving time elapsed will remain in storage,
even pfter the ignition is turned off. Further
driving time will be added automat ically af­
ter engine restart. Maximum storage and
display range is 23 hours: 59 minutes. To
keep track of driving time between points,
depress "Reset" for zero.
Driving time alert
While driving, the computer will automati­
cally switch to the "driving time" display ev­
ery two hours. The indicator "2:00" (or
"4:00", "6:00", "8:00" etc.) will blink in the
display window to alert the driver to take a
break. The blinker can be turned off briefly
by pushing "Reset'' or either side of the
switch. If the
ignition is off more than ten minu tes,
the driving time alert counter will automati­
cally start again from zero. If the ignition is
off less than ten minutes, the display will
blink again every two hours.

Ride height adjustment (4 Level Air Suspension)
......., _____ ___ �--
-�
�. 842· 8!18 ..J
The ride height level can be adjusted auto­
matically or manually -depending on
the vehicle's speed:
• Low laval -Reduced ground clearance,
like a sport suspension. The lowest green
LED will come in the level display (2).
In automatic mode, the vehicle will auto­
matically lower to the low level after it
reaches about 75 mph (120 km/h). The sys­
tem builds in a brief delay before this hap­
pens. If the speed drops below about 45
mph (70 km/h) for an extended period, the
system resumes the normal level. •
Normal level -Standard ground clear­
ance. The two lower green LED's will now
be lit in the level display (2).
• High level -Increased ground clear­
ance for rough roads and trails. The three
lower LED's will now be lit in the level dis­
play (2).
• Highest level-Ride height level for ex­
tremely rough roads and terrain. All four
green LED's will now be lit in the level dis­
play (2).
Notes
• If you manually select "High" or "High­
est" while the automatic mode is on, but
the vehicle has slowed down to the point
where it lowers to "Normal" or "Low"
level, the system will automatically raise the
vehicle back to the "High" position.
When does this happen?
- If the vehicle speed falls below 38 mph
(60 km/h), this will happen after about
30 seconds.
- If the vehicle speed falls below 19 mph
(30 km/ h), this will happen right away. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMEN T
Yo u can deactivate this mode either by
manuallly selecting Normal or Low level, or
by switching off the ignition.
To activate this mode again, first switch on
the ignition and then select High or Highest
level.
• In the manual mode, the automatic
switching to High level and automatic low­
ering to low level at high vehicle speeds are
deactivat ed.
• When you park your vehicle. make
certain that there is enough clear­
ance above the roof. Sometimes
changes in temperature or load will
cause the vehicle to raise itself auto­
matically. The roof could get dam­
aged if there isn't enough clearnace.

ROLS AND
EQUIPMENT---------------------
Manual mode
To switch from the automatic mode to the
manual mode, press button (1) or (3) for at
least 2 seconds. Press again to return to the
automatic mode.
The yellow LED in the display (2) will be lit
in the manual mode.
15 4 Increasing
the vehicle ride height
manually
To make certain that the system functions
properly, do not raise the vehicle ride height
unless the engine is running.
Press button (3) to adjusting the vehicle to
the next higher level, ending at the high
laval.
Once you are in the high level, you can go to
the highest laval by pressing the button
again.
Levels that have been selected but not yet
reached by the vehicle are indicated by flas­
hing LED's in the level indicator (2).
The current actual level is indic ated by conti­
nuously lit LED's.
Manually lowering the ride height
Press button (1) to go to the next lower
laval. You can repeat this until you've se­
lected the low level.
The next level that was selected but has not
been reached by the vehicle is indicated by
a continuously lit LED in the level indica­
tor (2).
The current actual level is indic ated by flas­
hing LED's. Notes
• The control operations are dependent on
the vehicle's current speed. For example, it
is not possible to manually switch to the
·high level or highest level when the vehicle
is going above a cert ain speed.
Likewise, if ·you. have already selected the
high or highe st level, and the vehicle speeds
up above a certain speed, the system auto­
matically switches down to the next lower
level.
For example, at about 20 mph (35 km/h) the
vehicle will lower from the highest level to
the high level. Beginning at about 50 mph
(80 km/h), the system switches from the
high level to normal level.

---------------------CONTROLS AND EQUIPMEN T
Notes continued
• At excessive loads (for example, over­
heating caused by frequent changes in the
ride height when the vehicle is stationary),
the system is temporarily deactivated for
safety reasons. The system will return to
full operation once it has cooled down.
• The system automatically switches to
the normal level if the ESP automatically
shuts off (see page 205). If this happens,
switch the ignition off, and then on again.
Now you can select the desired level once
again.
Jack mode
Activating Before lifting the vehicle with a jack or lift,
press buttons (1) and (3) at the same
time for at least 5 seconds with the ignition
switched on.
When the system is in the jack mode, the
LED's on control buttons (1) and (3), the yel­
low LED for the manual mode on the level
ind icator (2) and the warning light for level
control in the instrument cluster (see pa­
ge 123) will all come on.
Once this happens, tum off the ignition.
The vehicle can now be lifted. Deactivating
To deactivate the jack mode, press buttons
(1) and (3) at the same time for at least 5
seconds. The warning light in the instru­
ment cluster, the LED for manual mode, and
the LED's on the control buttons will all turn
off.
The original system state and full functional�
ity of the ride height system are now re­
stored.
In addition, the jack mode will automatically
be deactivated when vehicle speed ex­
ceec;ls 3 mph (5 km/h ).
�W ARNING
• Make certain that no one is lying
under the vehicle or has his I her
head or hands in the wheel house
while the ride height is changing
or when a iack is being used.
• Changes in outside tempera­
ture, in vehicle loads or in other
conditions will cause the vehicle
to adjust it's level automatically.

CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT---------------------
C... -Air recirculation
In the air recirculation mode, the supply of
outside air is blocked and the air in the pas­
senger compartment is recirculated. This
helps to prevent pollutant-conta ining out­
side air from entering the passenger
compartment. It is best not to use this set­
ting for exte nded periods of time.
If the windows begin to fog or ice
up, select the ® program setting as
soon as possible.
�W ARNING
• You will not receive any fresh
outside air when air recirculation
is on. Do not use this setting over
long periods of time because stale
air contributes to fatigue and re­
duced driver alertness.
• If the windows fog up, press the
air recirculation button again im­
mediately to switch off the air re­
circulation function or select de­
frost.
16 4 ECON -

The air conditioner compressor can be
turned off to save fuel. However, the com­
fort level that the system can achieve in this
mode limited.
If the interior of the vehicle gets too hot, or
if the windows begin to fog or ice up, press
the ECON button again to tum the compres­
sor on again and switch back to AUTO .
OFF -Switching air conditioner oft
The air conditioner can be switched off by
pressing the button briefly. This cuts off the
supply of air from the outside.
To reactivate the air conditioner,
press the AUTO button or one of the blower,
temperature or air distribution selector but­
tons, or press OFF again.
It is not normally necessary to switch off the
air condition er.

General notes
• Vehicle heating is depend upon tne tem­
perature of the engine coolant -therefore,
your vehicle interior will warm uponly when
the engine has reached its operating tem­
perature.
When the ambient temperature is too low,
the fan only switches to high speed modes
when the coolant has reached a sufficiently
high temperature, or when the ® button
has been depressed.
• Keeping the air intake slots in front of the
windshield free from ice, snow and debris
helps to make sure that the climate control
system will work properly.
• When the air conditioner compressor is
on it reduces both the temperature and the
humid ity of the air inside the vehicle. This
prevents the windows from fogging up.
• The air conditioner works best with the
windows and power roof* closed. •
If the inside temperature is very high af­
ter the vehicle has been parked in the sun,
open windows and allow the hot air to es­
cape before switching on the air condi­
tioner.
• The dust and pollen filter will prevent
dust and pollen etc. in the outside air from
entering the car. Switch to air recirculation
to prevent unpleasant fumes from entering
the vehicle.
If water drips under the
vehicle ...
At high outside temperatures and humidity,
condensation may drip from the evaporator.
This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
If the airflow is not cool ...
• At low ambient temperatures the air con­
ditioner compressor switches off automati­
cally. The compressor cannot be switc hed
on again in this case, even by pressing the
AUTO button. •
The air conditioner may switch itself off
temporarily to ensure sufficient engine
cooling when the engine is running at full
load.
The air conditioner will also be switched off
temporarily in the kick-down function. See
page 109.
• Check the air conditioning fuse on the
fuse p imel -see page 27 4. Have it replaced,
if necessary.
• If you suspect that the air conditioner is
damaged, for instance after an accident,
switch to the ECON and have the system
examined immediately for leaks or other
damage.
