The journey memory 1 collects the travel and consumption data from the
moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is
continued within two hours of switching off the ignition, the new values will
be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.
The total journey memory 2 collects the journey data for any number of indi-
vidual journeys (even if the ignition is switched off for longer than two hours)
up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes travel time or 1999 km distance trav-
elled. The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the named values is
reached.

This function may help you to keep within the speed limits. Press the
button on the windscreen wiper lever or the multifunction steering wheel*
to select the current speed. The instrument panel display gives the selected
speed, for example, Speed warning 120 km/h . You have five seconds to reset
the speed between 30 km/h and 250 km/h using rocker switch or buttons or on the multifunction steering wheel*. Press the button or wait
five seconds until the speed is stored and the warning is activated. If the set

warning --- km/h is now displayed on the instrument panel. Outside temperature display
The measurement margin ranges from -40 °C (-40 °F) to +50 °C (+125 °F). At
outside temperatures below +4 °C (+39.2 °F), the snowflake symbol (ice
danger warning) appears in addition to the outside temperature display. This
symbol flashes for a few seconds and remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6 °C (+42.8 °F).
WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol”
is not shown. For this reason you should not rely exclusively on this display
- Risk of accident!
Note
•There are different instrument panels; therefore the multifunction display
may vary.•When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the
temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temper-
ature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.•Vehicles with a multifunction steering wheel* do not have buttons on the
windscreen wiper lever. The multifunction display can only be controlled from
the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*.Vehicle status menu
