Instrumen ts and ind icator ligh ts
You can call up the following information in the
on-board computer :
-Date
- Driving time from the short-term memory
- Average consumpt ion from the short -term
memory
- Average speed from the short -term memory
- Distance driven from the shor t-term memory
- Current fuel consumption
- Short-term memory overview
- Long-term memory overview
The short-term memory collects driving informa­
tion from the t ime the ignition is switched on un­
til it is switched off.
If you cont inue driv ing with­
in two ho urs after switching the ignition off , the
new values are included when calculating the cur­
rent trip information .
Unlike the short-term memory , the long -term
memory is not erased automat ica lly . Yo u can se­
lect the time period for evaluat ing trip informa­
tion yourself.
For some veh icle functions , you can access the
driving information from the short-term memory
in the line
(D c:> page 22, fig . 5.
Fuel consumpti on
The current fuel consumption can be shown us­
ing a bar g raph
c:> fig. 8. The average consump­
tion stored in the short-term memory is also dis­
p layed . If the bar is green, your vehicle is saving
fue l through one of t he following functions :
-Re cuperation : electrical ene rgy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv ­
ing downh ill. The bar will
move toward D.
-Cylinder on d emand sy stem* : the engine auto­
matically switches 4 cylinders off when lower
power output is required and other conditions
are met. This change is not noticeable to the
passengers . The cy linders will switch on aga in
when higher power output is needed.
@ Tips
- If the vehicle battery is disconnected, all
memory va lues are erased.

Child safety
restraints on the front seat -some impor­
tant things to know.
Deactivating the convertible locking
retractor
The conver tible locking re trac tor for child re­
s train ts will be deactivated automatically when
the belt is wound all the way bock into the re ­
tractor .
.,. Press the red button on the safety belt buckle.
The belt tongue w ill pop out of the buckle .
.,. Gu ide the safety belt all the way back into its
stowed pos ition .
Always let the safety belt retract completely into its stowed position . The safety belt can now be
used as an ordinary safety be lt without the con­
ve rt ible locking retractor for child restraints .
If the convert ible lock ing retractor should be ac­
tivated inadvertently, the safety belt must be un ­
fastened and guided completely back into its
stowed position to deact ivate this feature. If the
convertible lock ing re tractor is not deactivated,
the safety belt w ill gradually become tighte r and
uncomfortable to wea r.
A WARNING -
Improperly installed child safety seats in­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in a collision.
- Never unfasten the safety belt to deactivate
the convertible locking retractor for child re­
straints while the vehicle is moving. You
would not be restrained and could be seri­
ously injured in an accident.
- Always read and heed all WARNINGS when­
ever using a child restrained in a vehicle is
being used ¢

LATCH system (Lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To provide a s impler and more practicab le way to
attach the ch ild rest raint on the vehicle seat,
Federal regulations require special lower ancho­
rages in vehicles and devices on new ch ild re­
straints to attach to the vehicle anchorages .
In the United States, the combination of the
tether anchorages and the lower anchorages is
now generally called the LATCH system for
" Lower Anchorages and Tethers for Children". In
Canada, the terms "top tether" with "lower uni­
versa l anchorages" (or "lower universal anchor­
age bars") are used to describe the system .
In other countries the term "ISOFIX" is used to
describe the lower anchorages.
Forward-facing child restraints manufactured af­
te r September 1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed­
eral regu lations to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements . These
new performance requ irements make a tether
necessary on most new child seats.
Installing a chi ld rest raint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impair the per­
formance of the child restraint and its ability to
protect the child in a collision. Installing a child
restraint that requires a top tether without the
top tether may be a violation of state law .
Child restraint manufacturers offer LA TCH lower
anchorages on their child seats with hook-on or push-on connectors attached to adjustable
straps .
In addition to the LA TCH lower anchorages, these
child restraint systems usually require the use of
tether straps to help keep the child restraint
firmly in place .
A WARNING
Improper installation of child restra ints w ill
increase the risk of injury and death in a
crash.
