Automatic time synchronisation
The RDS signal of most VHF
transmitters automatically sets the
time, identified by } in the display.
Some transmitters do not send
a correct time signal. In such cases,
we recommend to switch off
automatic time synchronisation.
Activate setting mode and set it to
year setting. Hold the Ö button
depressed about 3 seconds until }
flashes in the display and “RDS
TIME" appears. The function is
activated (RDS TIME 1) or
deactivated (RDS TIME 0) with
the ; button. Exit setting mode using
the Ö button.
Power outlets
Power outlets are located in the
centre console and in the luggage
compartment. Do not damage the sockets by using
unsuitable plugs. Connecting
electrical accessories while the
engine is off will discharge the
battery. Do not exceed the maximum power consumption of 120 watts. Do
not connect any current-delivering
accessories, e.g. electrical charging
devices or batteries.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in DIN VDE
40 839.
Cigarette lighter
The cigarette lighter is located in the
centre console.

instruments briefly rotate to the end
position
when the ignition is switched
on.
Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. Odometer
The bottom line displays the recorded
distance.
Trip odometer
The top line displays the counted

Instruments and controls
Fuel gauge Displays the fuel level or gas pressure
in the tank depending on the
operation mode.
Control indicator
Y illuminates if the
level in the tank is low. Refuel
immediately if it flashes. During
natural gas operation, the switch
automatically switches over to petrol
operation 3 84. When operating with natural gas, the
message LoFuEL is displayed if the
level in the petrol tank is low.
Acknowledge the message by
pressing the reset button
3 83.
Never run the tank dry.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity. Fuel selector
Pressing button
Y switches between
petrol and natural gas operation.
Switching
is not possible at high loads
(e.g. strong acceleration, running at
full throttle). The LED status shows
the current operating mode.
Natural gas
operation = LED off.
Petrol operation = LED illuminates.
As soon as the natural gas tanks are
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged until the
ignition is switched off.

Instruments and controls
85
If the natural gas tanks are not
refuelled, the system must be
manually switched to petrol operation
before the engine is started up again.
This will prevent damage to the
catalytic converter (overheating
caused by irregular fuel supply).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time
a switchover block is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The block remains
active until the ignition is switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected in petrol operation. You
must therefore adapt your driving
style (e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres) and vehicle loads (e.g.
towing loads) accordingly.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates and refuel. This is
necessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank. Service display
The message InSP appears when it
is time for servicing. Further
