The driving data is displayed on the multifunction display. The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road sur-
face! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature display
for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures.
MemoryFig. 6
Multi-function display - Display
example of the memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 13.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories, 1 and 2. The
selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 6 .
Exchange between memories is made with the
B
button on the wiper
stalk » Fig. 7 on page 14.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual
journeys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1,999 kilometres driv-
en. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1
and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected.
