The average fuel consumption will be shown
after a distance of approximately 100 metres
has been travelled. Until then dashes will ap-
pear in the display. The display will be upda-
ted every five seconds while the vehicle is in
motion. The amount of fuel used will not be
shown.

Operation
● Select the submenu Multifunction Display
Data from the Configuration menu
››› page 54 .
● The di s
plays can be activated or deactiva-
ted individually by marking the required op-
tion and pressing the OK button on the wind-
screen wiper lever or the multifunction steer-
ing wheel*.
Outside temperature indicator
The measurement margin ranges from -45 °C
(-49 °F) to +58 °C (+136.4 °F). At tempera-
tures lower than +4°C (+39.2 °F), an “ice crys-
tal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” is
sounded if the vehicle is moving at more
than 20 km/h (12 mph) (ice warning). This
symbol flashes first for around 10 seconds
and remains lit as long as the outside tem-
perature does not rise above +4 °C (+39.2 °F)
or +6 °C (+42.8 °F) if it was already lit. 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 exclusive-
ly 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 dis- played may be slightly higher than the actual
outside temperature as a result of the heat
radiated from the engine.
● Vehicles with a multifunction steering
wheel* do not have buttons on the wind-
screen wiper lever. The multifunction display
can only be controlled from the buttons on
the multifunction steering wheel*. Vehicle status menu

Steering wheel controls*
Steering wheel controls* General information The steering wheel includes a multifunction
module from where it is possible to control
the audio, telephone and radio navigation
functions, and the automatic gearbox*, with-
out requiring the driver to be distracted from
driving.
There are three versions of the multifunction
module:
● Audio version, to control the available au-
dio functions from the steering wheel.
● Audio + Telephone version, to control the
available audio functions and the telephone
system from the steering wheel. Both versions may be used to control the au-
dio system (radio, Audio CD, mp3 CD,
iPod

/USB 1)
/SD 1)
) and the radio navigation
system, in which case they also control the
navigation system.

or turn the key in the door to lock all
doors and the rear lid. WARNING
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehicle. In case of emergency, they may
not be able to leave the vehicle or manage on
their own.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicle. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Always take you car keys with you when
you leave the vehicle. Misuse of the keys, for
example, by children, may result in serious
damage and accident.
– The engine may accidentally be started
and be out of control.
– If the ignition is switched on, the electric
equipment could be activated with risk of –
– injury, for example, in the electric win-
dows.
– The doors can be locked using the remote
control key. This could become an obsta-
cle for assistance in an emergency situa-
tion.
– Always take the key with you when you
leave the vehicle.
● Never remove the key from the ignition if
the vehicle is in motion. The steering lock
could suddenly engage, and you would not be
able to steer the vehicle. Note
● While the driver door is open, the vehicle
cannot be locked with the remote control.
This avoids the user from forgetting his key
inside the vehicle.
● If the driver door is unlocked with the key
shaft, only the driver door is unlocked, the
rest of the doors remain locked. When the ig-
nition is switched on, the door “deadlock”
function is deactivated (although the doors
remain locked) and the central lock button is
activated. See ››› page 68.
● If the c
entral locking or anti-theft alarm are
faulty, the driver door control lamp remains
lit for approx. 30 seconds after the vehicle
locks.
● For anti-theft security, only the driver door
is fitted with a lock cylinder. 63
