To protect the engine, the fuel supply is
automatically interrupted in this zone;
you will notice a loss of power.462us017
Indicates current fuel consumption in
mpg (in liters per 100 km on Canadian
models). You can check your current
driving style to see whether it is condu-
cive to economy and minimum exhaust
emissions.
When the vehicle is stationary, the
needle goes to "Maximum" (zero on
Canadian models).462us018

Mode selectionFrom ignition key position 1 and up, you
can call up information from the on-
board computer shown in the display of
the instrument cluster using the button
in the turn signal lever. By pressing the
button briefly in the direction of the
steering column, you can call up a new
function for display.
The displays appear in the following
order:
Time, outside temperature, average fuel
consumption, cruising range, average
vehicle speed.
Starting with ignition key position 1, the
last active setting is displayed.46cde096
Outside temperature You can change the units of measure-
ment (6/7) for the outside tempera-
ture display by pressing the right-hand
reset button in the instrument cluster
when the temperature display is active. 46cus008
Ice warning If the outside temperature drops to
approx. 37.5 7 (+3 6), the onboard
computer automatically switches to the
outside temperature display. In addi-
tion, a signal sounds as a warning and
the display flashes for a brief period.
The warning is repeated whenever the
temperature climbs to at least 43 7
(+6 6) following the last warning and
then drops back to 37.5 7 (+3 6).
The ice warning does not alter the
fact that surface ice can form at
temperatures above +37.5 7 (+3 6),
on bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.<

Average fuel consumption If you continue to press down on the
button on the turn signal indicator lever,
the average fuel consumption display
will reset itself and will begin calculat-
ing average fuel consumption from that
point onward.46cus009
Range The computer bases its calculations
for the cruising range on the rate of fuel
consumption in the period immediately
preceding your data request.46cus010
Average speed If you continue to press down on the
button on the turn signal indicator lever,
the average speed display will reset
itself and will begin calculating average
speed from that point onward.
Any time spent when the vehicle is
stationary and the engine is shut off is
ignored for the calculation.46cus011
