Page 22 of 296

Driver information system
The following information is continuously evalu
ated by the trip computer and can be displayed
sequent ially in the instrument cluster display:
Fuel range
The estimat ed cruising range in miles (km) ap
pears in the disp lay. Thi s tells you how far your

The average f uel economy in MPG (l/100 km)
since you last cleared the memory appears in this
display . You can use this display to adjust your
driving technique to achieve a desired mileage.
Current fuel mileage
The instantaneo us fue l cons umption in miles per
ga llon (l/100 km) is shown in this display. You
can use th is disp lay to adjust your driv ing techn i
que to achieve a desired mi leage.
Fuel consumption is recalculated at intervals of

Memories
The trip computer is equipped with two fully au
tomatic memories as well as an efficiency pro
gram*.
Fig. 15 Trip computer d isplay: memory level 1
You can switch between the trip computer 1 and
2 and the efficiency program * by pressing the
IRESET I button@<=>page 21, fig. 16 .
You can tell which memory level is currently ac
tive by the number or the sign in the display
c> fig. 15. The data from the single-trip memory
(memory level 1) is being d isplayed if a
D ap
pears in the display. If a
fJ is shown, then the da
ta from the total-trip memory is being d isplayed
(memory level 2). The fuel pump nozzle
ii1 indi
cates the efficiency program* <::;>
page 22.
Single-trip memory (Trip computer 1)
The single-trip memory stores the trip informa
tion from the time the ignition is turned on until
it is turned off . If the trip is continued
within 2
hours
from the time the ignition was turned off,
the new data will be included in the calculation of
the current trip information. If the trip is inter
rupted for
more than 2 hours the memo ry is re
set automatically .
Total-trip memory (Trip computer 2)
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-tr ip
memory is not reset automatically . This permits
you to eva luate your dr iv ing data for the enti re
period between manua l resets.
Efficiency program*
The eff ic iency program can help you to use less

Opening and closing
-Always ensure that no one is within range of
the rear lid when it is moving, in particular
close to the hinges and the upper and lower
edges -fingers or hands can be pinched.
- To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas from
being drawn into the vehicle, always keep
the rear lid closed while driving. Never
transport objects larger than those which fit
completely into the luggage area, because
then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended espe
cially with the rear lid left open. A child
could crawl into the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut, becom
ing trapped and unable to get out. To re
duce the risk of personal injury, never let
children play in or around your vehicle. Al
ways keep the rear lid as well as the vehicle doors closed when not in use.
- If there is a luggage rack or bicycle rack
mounted on the rear lid, it may not be able
to open completely or an opened rear lid may close by itself because of the added
weight. So the open rear lid must be sup
ported or the weight must be removed from
the luggage rack first.
(D Tips
-As soon as the electrical connection to the
trailer socket is completed on vehicles with
a factory installed towing hitch, or a trailer
hitch that was installed later according to
factory specifications, the automatic rear lid
funct ion can only be operated via the handle
in the rear lid.
- If the vehicle battery charge drops below a
certain level, you can still open or close the
rear lid manually, however, you will need to
apply more force to close it.
- If the rear lid on a locked vehicle is unlocked
with the middle button
.::::::5 on the remote
key, the rear lid is automatically locked
again immediately after closing. This is indi
cated by the turn signals blinking.

with the Convenience key* feature: if the re
mote control key is left in the luggage com
partment, luggage compartment will auto-
42 matically unlock
