Drive r in formation syste m
On-board comput er display
The on-boa rd comp uter display monitors the dif­
ferent memory levels:
- Short-term memory (on-board computer 1)
- Long-term memory (on-board computer 2)
- Efficiency program
The follow ing information can be displayed in on­
board computer 1 and 2 one after the other.
-Date
- Estimated range based on current fuel leve l
- Travel time
- Average consumption
- Average speed
- Distance
- Current fuel consumption
- Engine o il temperature indicator*
On -board computer
D (sho rt -term memory )
The short-term memory collects driving informa­
tion from the time the ign it ion is switched on un­
til it is switched off . If you continue driving with ­
in tw o ho ur s after sw itchi ng the ignition off, the
new values are included when calcu lating the c ur­
rent trip information. If stopped for more the
two hours , the short term memory is automati ­
cally erased once you begin driving.
On-board com put er
fJ (long-t erm m emor y)
Unlike the short-te rm memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automat ica lly. You can se­
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa­
tion yourself.

Fuel economy messages are disp layed when fuel
consumption is increased by certain conditions . If
you follow these economy tips, you can reduce
your veh icle's consumption of fuel. The messages

appear automatically and are only disp layed in
the efficiency program. The fuel economy mes­
sages turn off automatically after a certain per i­
od of t ime.
"'T o turn an economy message off immediate ly

function steering wheel.
(D Tips
- Once you have turned an economy tip off, it

nition on again.
- The economy tips are not displayed in every
instance, but rather in intervals over a peri­
od of time.
Lap timer and engine oil
temperature indicator
Introduction
Applies to veh icles: with lap tim er (S models)
The engine oil temperature is only shown in the
lap timer display.
Lap timer
You can record and evaluate lap times with the
l ap timer in the display¢
poge 31, fig. 16. The
time is measured in minutes, seconds and 1/10
seconds. With lap times longer than 60 minutes,
the hour is also shown and the display of
1/10 seconds is removed.
The time measurement on an individua l lap ends
after 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. A new
lap starts automatically after that.
The meas urement ends after a maximum of 30
laps. You can then eva luated the lap times or
start a new time measurement.
Engine oil temperature indicator
If the engine oil temperature is below 140 °F
(60 °C), the~ symbol followed by three hy­
phens" ---" and the °C unit is shown .
The engine has reached its operating tempera­
ture when the engine oil tempera ture is between
176 °F (80 °() and 248 °F (120 °C) under nor-
mal driving conditions. The engine oil

temperature may be higher if there is heavy en­
gin e load and high temperatures outside. This is
not a cause for concern as long as the.
¢page 19 orllll ¢page23 indicator lights in the
display do not blink.
A WARNING
Your focus should always be on driving your
vehicle safely . As the dr iver, you have com­
plete responsibility for safety in traffic . Only
use the functions such as the lap timer in such
a way that you a lways maintain complete con­
trol over your vehicle in all traffic situations .
(D Tips
You can retr ieve information from the tr ip
computer while the lap timer stopwatch is

-You should not drive your vehicle or press
the windshie ld wiper lever when the wiper
arms are folded away from the w indshield.
The windshield wipers would move back in­
to their original position and could damage
the hood and windshield .
- To prevent damage to the windshield wash­
er system, a lways loosen wiper blades that
have frozen to the windsh ield before turn­
i ng the wipers on .
- To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do
not apply gasoline, petro leum, th inning
agents or other solvents on the wiper b lades or near them.
- To prevent damage to the wiper arms or
othe r components, do not try to move the
windsh ield wipers by hand.
@ Tips
- Commerc ial hot wax such as the types used
by car washe s make it more difficult t o clean
the w indshie ld.
- You can also use the service pos ition, for ex­
ample, if you want to p rotect the w indshie ld
from i cing by us ing a cover.
- You cannot activate the service pos it ion

more force to turn or brake if necessary. Be­
cause you cannot steer and brake as you
usually would, this could lead to crashes
and serious injuries.
- Please note that the brake booster and pow­
er steering only work when the engine is
running. When the engine off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the veh icle. Be­
cause the usual steering and braking capa­
bility is not avai lable, the risk of accidents or
injuries inc reases.
- Always take t he vehi cle key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short period
of time. This applies partic ularly when chil­
dren remain in the vehicle . Otherwise the
children could start the engine or operate
electrical equipment such as power win­
dows.
- For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherw ise, there is the risk that the veh icle
could roll.
- After the engine has been switched off, the radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off.
It can also switch on again after some
t ime if the coolant temperature rises as the
result of heat bu ildup or if the eng ine com­
partment is heated by the s un's rays and the
engine is hot .
(D Note
If the eng ine has been under heavy load for
an extended per iod of t ime, heat bu ilds up in
the eng ine comp artment after the engine is
sw itched off -there is a r isk of damaging the
engine. For this reason, let the engine run for
at idle for approximate ly two minutes before
shutting it off.
Dr iving
Starting the engine if there is a
malfunction
Applies to vehicles: with convenience key
It may not be possible to start the engine under
