When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the
temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual
outside temperature as a result of radiant heat from the engine.
K
Multi-function indicator*
Apart from the time, the multi-function indicator offers a varietyof
additional information.
• Outside temperature*
• Current fuel consumption
• Average fuel consumption
• Distance that can be travelled with the amount of fuel left in the
tank.
• Km driven
• Average speed
• Driving time
On the upper part of the display appears the symbol of the
function, except if the time is indicated
⇒fig. 47with average
consumption.
If you press button

If you press the upper part of the button, the different functions will
appear consecutively.
If you press the lower part of the button, the functions will appear
in the opposite direction.
The following data can be obtained in this order by the memory:
• Driving time
• Km driven
• Average speed
• Average fuel consumption
The instantaneous fuel consumption will not be memorized but will
always appear in an updated version.

The temperature range goes from –40°C to +58°C. If the car is
stationary or if driving at slow speed the indicated temperature
may be slightly higher than the real temperature due to engine
heat.
If the outside temperature is between +4°C and –7°C the ice
symbol will appear on the display (warning for icy road).
This symbol will flash at first for about 5 seconds and then remain
lit while the outside temperature is not above +4°C or below –7°C.

Instantaneous consumption is shown in l/100 km. The computer
calculates the consumption every 30 meters. When the vehicle is
stationary the computer will display the last value in the memory.
On some models, the display will show fuel consumption in
ltr/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position with the engine
running.
If the instantaneous consumption display is selected when the
engine is started, the computer will indicate the average
consumption for the first 30 to 40 meters.
You can use this display to adjust your driving style to the desired
fuel consumption.

• If the battery is disconnected the details in the service displayare
retained.
• If the instrument panel changes due to repair, the service interval display
must be reset. This should be carried out by a Technical Service Centre.
Should the display not be reprogrammed, then the service work should be
carried out in accordance with the Inspection and Maintenance Plan and not
according to the Service Interval Display. The Service interval indicator only
