•
Never install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat unless
the front passenger airbag has been disabled. Risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child! If it is necessary in exceptional cases to transport a child
on the front passenger seat, you must always disable the front passenger
airbag ⇒ page 45, “Deactivating airbags*”.

Ø km/h - Average speed
The average speed will be shown after a distance of approximately 100
metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear in the display until that time.
The display will be updated every 5 seconds whilst the vehicle is in motion.
km - Distance covered
The display shows the distance travelled since the ignition was switched on.
The maximum display value in both memories is 9999 miles. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.
km - Distance to empty
The fuel range is calculated using the fi gures for tank content and current fuel
consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same condi-
tions as a reference.
Ø ltr/100km - Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption will be shown ⇒page 62, fig. 41 after a
distance of approximately 100 metres has been travelled. Dashes will appear
in the display until that time. The display will be updated every 5 seconds
whilst the vehicle is in motion. The am ount of fuel used will not be shown. litres/100km or litres/h - Current fuel consumption
The display will show the current fuel consumption in litre/km whilst the

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 20 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.

is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!
