be added to the existing trip recorder memory. The memory will automati-
cally be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.

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 dis-
tance travelled. The memory will automatically be deleted if one of the

fuel consumption. It shows how far the vehicle can travel using the same
conditions as a reference.

The maximum display value in both memories is 1999 km. The memory will
automatically be deleted once this value has been reached.

tres has been travelled. Until then dashes will appear in the display. The
display will be updated every five seconds while the vehicle is in motion.
Alternative speed display (mph or km/h)

button on the windscreen wiper lever
A 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 sec-
onds to reset the speed between 30 km/h and 250 km/h using rocker switch
B
or buttons  or  on the multifunction steering wheel*. Press
the OK button or wait five seconds until the speed is stored and the warn-

button again. Speed warning --- km/h is now displayed on the instru-
ment 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 dan-
ger 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 sym-
bol” 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 dis-
play may vary.
● When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the tem-
perature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside tempera-
ture 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*. 
