cles with luxury multi-function steer-
ing wheel*, 12 buttons)

The segments light up from the stored speed
to the maximum speed.
Variable Speedtronic* mode:
The segments light up from the start of the
scale to the selected limit speed. Rev counter

peratures are just above freezing point. The
vehicle could skid if you fail to adapt your
driving style. You should therefore always
adapt your driving style and speed to suit
the weather conditions .
There is a short delay before a change in out-
side temperature is displayed. Controls
