For the sake of the environment
Correct shifting up has the following advantages.■It helps to reduce fuel consumption.■
It reduces the operating noise.
■
It protects the environment.

The multifunction display only operates if the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the function that was last selected before
switching off the ignition is displayed.
Individual menu items can be shown or hidden in the Infotainment » Bedienung-
sanleitung Infotainment, chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button).
WARNINGConcentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
Note
In some national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of measure-
ment.
Memory
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 29.
The multifunction display is equipped with three automatic memories.
The display of the selected memory varies depending on vehicle equipment.
Since start (MAXI DOT display) or “1” (segment display)The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition isswitched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation 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.
Long-term (MAXI DOT display) or “2” (segment display)
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual journeys
up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9999 kilometres driven.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation
starts all over again.
Since refuel (MAXI DOT display) or “3” (segment display)
The memory gathers driving information since the last refuelling.
The memory is erased automatically the next time you fill up.

Range
The range indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the
level of fuel in the tank and the same style of driving as before.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the warning icon the
display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the range. The
range can increase if you drive in a more fuel-efficient manner.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption 1)
is calculated since the last time the memory was
erased.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of
time, you must set the memory at the start of the new measurement to zero » page 29 .
After erasing the memory, no fuel consumption data will appear for the first
100 m driven.
The indicated information is updated continuously while you are driving.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel con-
sumption 1)
.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed 2)
.
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating tem-
perature is reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine revs,
full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil temperature is present,
are displayed instead of the oil temperature.

Displaying an error
If the warning light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec- onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.WARNING■ If the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers
to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk of death!■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.
Note
■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi- cle.■
Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 36. The other doors and the boot lid can be emer-
gency locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 248.

Vehicle keyFig. 11
Key: without/with remote control
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings
on page 35.
Two keys are provided with the vehicle » Fig. 11.
Keys without remote control
Keys with remote control (remote control keys)
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range ofthe remote control can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The remote control key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking
and locking the car manually and also for starting the engine.
The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after the receiver unit is repaired or replaced. Only then can the remote control key be used again.
WARNING■ Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) – risk of injury!■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop! The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally – risk of accident!
CAUTION■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away » page 247.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.
