The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is
switched on.At descending temperatures between +4°C down to -7°C and at ascending
temperatures from -5°C up to +6°C in addition to the outside temperature
display, an ice crystal is displayed and if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h an
acoustic buzzer is heard.
The illumination of the crystal symbol ai ms to warn the driver of the risk of
ice, so that he/she proceeds with due care.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as
a result of heat coming from the engine.
Display with multi-function display (MFD)*
The multi-function display (MFD) shows you information on
the journey and fuel consumption.The multi-function system uses two automatic memories: 1 - Actual

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 journey memory 2 collects the journey data for any number of individual
journeys (even if the igniti on is switched off for longer than two hours) up to
a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes travel time, 9,999 km distance travelled
and 999 litres of fuel consumed. The memo ry will automatically be deleted if
one of the named values is reached.Displays in the multi-function display (MFD)* You can switch the following displays in the multi-function display (MFD) by
operating the rocker switch ⇒fig. 33 on the windscreen wiper lever.

The average speed will be shown after running a distance of approximately
100 metres. Dashes will appear in the display until that time. The display will
be updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
km - Distance travelled
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both me mories is 9999 km. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.

consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference.

Ø litre/100 km - Average fuel consumption
Average fuel consumption will be shown after having travelled approximately
100 metres. Dashes will appear in the display until that time. The display will
be updated every 5 seconds while the vehicle is in motion. The amount of fuel
used will not be shown.
ltr/100 km or ltr/hr - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the
vehicle is in motion or in litre/hour when the vehicle is in a stationary position
with the engine running.
Using this display you can see how your driving style affects fuel consump-
tion
⇒page 153.
Ambient temperature display
The measurement margin extends from -45°C to +58°C. At temperatures
lower than +4°C, an “ice crystal symbol” is displayed and a “warning” sounds
if the vehicle is moving at more than 10 km/h (ice warning). This symbol will
flash for about 10 seconds and remains lit until the exterior temperature rises
above +4°C or 6°C if it was already lit.
Set speed indicator
When the required speed has been reached, enter the mode menu “Speed
set” and press button -RESET-. The set speed is stored. If the indicated
speed is exceeded at any time, a warning text is displayed on the screen and
a warning signal is emitted.
3)
This may be deactivated by pressing the button . The speed may be
altered using the rocker switch in steps of 5 km/h within 5 seconds of the
initial memory value.
WARNING
There could be black ice on the road surface even if the “snowflake symbol”
is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!
Note
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be slightly higher than the actual ambient temperature as
a result of the heat radiated from the engine.Display field for selector lever position*The position of the automatic gearbox selector lever is shown on the display
⇒ page 135.
3)Depending on the model version, the message on the screen may vary and may be
represented by flashing of the speed indication or by a speed message.
