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.

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.

Headlight flasher
You can signal with your headlights by pull­
ing the lever toward the steering wheel.
When flashing headlights, the blue indicator
light will come on. Xenon
lights*
After starting the engine the Xenon head­
ligh ts are automatically adjusted to the load
and angle of the vehicle (for example, during
acceleration, braking). This prevents on­
coming traffic from experiencing unneces­
sary glare from your headlights.
If the system is not operating properly, a
warning symbol will be displayed in the
Auto Check Control -see page 144. CONTROLS
