to retrieve information from the com-
puter for display in the instrument clus-
ter.
Every time you tap the onboard com-
puter button BC, the display changes to
the next function in sequence.
Order of the displays:
>Time
>Outside temperature
>Average fuel consumption
>Range
>Average speed.
When the ignition key is in position 1 or
higher, the last active setting is dis-
played.
Outside temperatureYou can change the units of measure
7/6 for the outside temperature dis-
play by pressing the right-hand reset
button in the instrument cluster while
the temperature display is active. The
units of measure 7/6 in the tempera-
ture display of the automatic climate
control change automatically, refer to
page 90.Ice warningIf the outside temperature drops to
about 37.57/+36, then the computer
will automatically switch to a display of
the outside temperature. In addition, a
signal sounds as a warning and the dis-
play flashes for a brief period.

After giving an ice warning, the
display returns to the previous
setting.<
The ice warning does not alter the
fact that surface ice can form at
temperatures above 37.57/+36, on
bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.<
Average fuel consumptionIf you press the onboard computer but-
ton BC in the turn signal lever for longer
while the average fuel consumption is
being displayed, a new consumption
value is calculated from that point in
time.
If you wish, you can have the aver-
age fuel consumption displayed in
a different unit of measure.
of fuel remaining in the tank is mea-
sured, the estimated range is calcu-
lated taking into account the operating
conditions over the last 20 miles/30 km.
It is important that you refuel when
the cruising range falls below
approx. 35 miles/50 kilometers. Other-
wise, the engine cannot be guaranteed
to operate properly and damage may
result.<
Average speedAny time spent when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is shut off is
ignored for the calculation.
To reset the average speed: press the
onboard computer button BC in the
turn signal lever for approx. 2 seconds.
