The fuel gauge mode appears automati-

"Fuel reserve" appear. The tank still con-
tains approx. 2.6 gallons/10 liters of fuel.
If the tilt of the vehicle varies, when you are
driving in mountainous areas, for example,
the indicator may fluctuate slightly.
It will not be possible to cancel the
computer display once the fuel level
drops into the reserve range. However, you
can still request a display of the travel
range. Computer, refer to page85.<
Fuel tank capacity: approx. 23.2 gallons/
88 liters. You can find information on refu-
eling on page186.
Refuel well before the tank is empty,
as otherwise engine functions will not
be ensured and damage can occur if you
drive down to the last drop.<
Cruising range
Displays the estimated cruising range avail-
able with the remaining fuel. The fuel level
is measured and the range is calculated
taking the driving style over the last
20 miles/30 km into account.
Always refuel as soon as possible
once your range falls to below
30 miles/50 km, as otherwise engine func-tions are not ensured and damage can
occur.<
Refueling is only registered by the com-
puter for fuel amounts above approx.
1.3 gallons/5 liters.
Remaining distance
When you enter a destination in the naviga-
tion system or manually enter a distance in
the computer prior to departure, the system
can also display the distance remaining to
your destination, refer to page132 or87.
The system automatically applies the dis-
tance to your destination using the route
recommended by the navigation system.
When you enter a destination in the
navigation system, any manual entries
will be overwritten no later than once
1,640 ft/500 meters of the calculated dis-
tance have elapsed.<
Energy Control/
current fuel consumption
Shows the current fuel consumption. This
allows you to see whether your current
driving style is conducive to fuel economy
with minimum exhaust emissions.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption is calculated
for the time during which the engine is run-
ning.
You can use the Control Display to view
your fuel consumption rate over two differ-
ent distances, refer to Computer or Trip
computer.
Average speed
Periods with the vehicle parked and the
engine off are not included in the calcula-
tions of average speed.
Reset average speed: Press button2 in the
