Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km
⇒
page 14. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of
time, you must erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
button B on the windshield wiper lever
⇒
fig. 6. A zero appears in the display for
the first approx. 300 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving. Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.
Range The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the dis-
tance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the
tank for the same style of driving.
The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for
the fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the
range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range
will be increased accordingly.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consump-
tion of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted
accordingly to the style of driving.
Distance driven The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
⇒
page 14. If you wish to calculate the distance driven as of a particular time, you
must erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing the button B on the
windshield wiper lever ⇒
fig. 6 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1 999 km or on vehicles with
information display, it is 9 999 km. The indicator is set back to null if this period is
exceeded. Average speed The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour

If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light comes
on after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a
short distance. Electronic stability programme (ESP)
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
If the ESP helps to stabilise the vehicle (for example when applying and releasing
a braking force to an individual wheel), then the indicator light flashes.
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the ESP system.
The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP
system can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESP system can
be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light
goes out, the ESP system is fully functional again.
Further information on the ESP ⇒
page 125, Electronic stability programme (ESP). Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light comes
on after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a
short distance.
Antilock brake system (ABS) The warning light
shows the functionality of the ABS.
The warning light comes on for a few seconds after the ignition has been switch-
ed on or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic
check sequence has been completed.
A fault in the ABS
The system is not functioning properly if the ABS warning light does not go out
within a few seconds after switching on the ignition, does not light up at all or
lights up while driving. The vehicle will only be braked by the normal brake sys-
tem. Visit a specialist garage immediately and adjust your style of driving appropri-
ately as you will not know how great the damage is.
Further information about ABS ⇒ page 128
