When the ignition switch is turned to ON, modes
of the trip computer can be selected by pushing
the trip button on the steering wheel switch for
audio controls or by the trip computer change
button located near the speedometer. The fol-
lowing modes can be selected:
Outside air temperature (ICY-°F or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C.
The outside air temperature mode includes a low
temperature warning feature: below 37°F (3°C) ,
the outside air temperature mode is automatically

the driver’s attention. Press the trip or changebutton to toggle to the next mode, if desired. The
ICY indicator will remain illuminated as long as
the temperature remains below 39°F (4°C) .
The ambient temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be affected
by road or engine heat, wind directions and other
driving conditions. The display may differ from the
actual ambient temperature or the temperature
displayed on various signs or billboards.
Distance to empty (dte—mile or km)
The distance to empty (dte) mode provides you
with an estimation of the distance that can be
driven before refueling. The dte is constantly be-
ing calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the
fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption.
The display is updated every 30 seconds.
The dte mode includes a low range warning
feature: when the fuel level is low, the dte mode is
automatically selected and the digits blink in or-
der to draw the driver’s attention. Press the trip or
change button if you wish to return to the mode
that was selected before the warning occurred.
The dte mark (dte) will remain blinking until the
vehicle is refueled.
When the fuel level drops even lower, the dte
display will change to (----) .NOTE:
cIf the amount of fuel added while the
ignition switch is OFF is small, the dis-
play just before the ignition switch is
turned OFF may continue to be dis-
played.
cWhen driving uphill or rounding curves,
the fuel in the tank shifts, which may
momentarily change the display.

l/100km)

average fuel consumption since the last reset.
Resetting is done by pressing the trip or change
button for more than approximately 1 second.

display shows (----) .

vehicle speed since last reset. Resetting is done
by pressing the trip or change button for more
than approximately 1 second. The display is up-
dated every 30 seconds. The first 30 seconds
