The rev counter displays the engine speed in revolutions per
minute.The start of the red zone ⇒ page 51, fig. 30 indicates the maximum
engine speed operating at service temperature. However, it is advisable to
cha nge u p to a h igh er gear, m ove th e s el e cto r le ve r to D o r li f t your fo ot o f f th e
accelerator before the needle reaches the red zone.
Caution
The rev counter needle must never enter the red zone on the scale. Risk of
engine damage.
For the sake of the environment
Changing up into higher gears early will help you to reduce fuel consumption,
emissions and minimise engine noise.SpeedometerThe speedometer is equipped with a digital odometer and a trip recorder, in
addition to a service intervals display.

option. Set from button “set”.Once the operation has been carried out, the system memorises the time.Outside temperature display
The outside temperature is displayed when the ignition is
switched on.In addition to the outside temperature display, an ice crystal is displayed and,
if vehicle speed is over 10 km/h, a warning tone is heard at temperatures
dropping from between +4 °C and -7 °C and at temperatures rising from -5 °C
up to +6 °C.
The illumination of the crystal symbol aims 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.
Recommended gear display*
This display helps to save fuel.Use the gear display to save fuel. If you are not in the correct gear, a triangle
will appear next to the gear display indicating whether you should change up
or down ⇒ fig. 32.

54Multifunction display (MFI)*
The multifunction display (MFI) shows you information on the
journey and fuel consumption.The multifunction system uses two automatic memories: 1 - Actual
memory and 2 - Total memory . The selected memory will be shown
in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
Selecting a memory
– With the ignition switched on, briefly press button ⇒fig. 33
on the windscreen wiper lever to move from one memory to
another.
Resetting a memory
– Select the memory that you would like to reset.
– Press and hold button on the windscreen wiper lever for at least 2 seconds.
The trip memory 1 collects the travel and consumption rates 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 memory 2 collects the trip data for any number of individual jour-
neys (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 travelled.
The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the named values is
reached.Information in th e multifunction display (MFI)* You can switch between the following displays in the multifunction display
(MFI) by operating rocker switch ⇒fig. 34 on the windscreen wiper lever.

– Close the doors.
– Push the headlight lever to the main beam position
.
– Open the driver door.
In vehicles with start-stop and/or automatic headlight system
As soon as the driver door is opened, the system will switch on the dipped
lights for 30 seconds. If the door is closed during this 30-second period, the
dipped lights will stay on (from this moment) for 15 seconds.
For all other vehicles
You have 2 minutes from the moment the key is taken out of the ignition
switch to when the lights flash; after this, the Coming home function will not
activate. To activate it again, repeat the operation.
When the system is activated, dipped beam headlights remain on for 30
seconds after closing the door. If the door is open for more than 3 minutes,
the system will not remain active after the 3 mins., which means that the
dipped lights will not light up.
Note
•If the vehicle is often used during the night for short trips and the Coming
home function is used, the battery will considerably discharge. To avoid this,
make longer journeys whenever possible.•Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.
Heated rear window
=
The heated rear window only works when the engine is running. When it is
switched on, a lamp lights up on the switch.
After approx. 8 minutes, the heating device of the rear window switches off
automatically.
For the sake of the environment
The heated rear window should be disconnected as soon as the glass is
demisted. By saving electrical power you can also save fuel.
Note
To avoid possible damage to the battery, an automatic temporary disconnec-
tion of this function is possible, coming back on when normal operating
conditions are re-established.
