Warning against speeding
35
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.
The multifunction display shown in the segment display » Fig. 22 on page 33
or in the MAXI DOT display depending on your vehicle model » page 37.
On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display » page 37, there is an option not to dis-
play some of the information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully on your driving at all times. As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, there may still be black ice on the
road surface. You should therefore not rely solely on the outside tempera-
ture 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
measures.■
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is
not indicated in km/h on the display.
MemoryFig. 22
Multifunction display
Read and observe on page 33 first.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The se-
lected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 22.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switch memories using button
B
» Fig. 23 on page 34 on the windscreen
wiper stalk.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the
ignition is switched 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.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1999 km or, for vehicles with a MAXI
DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or 9999 km. The memory is deleted
when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod 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
disconnected.33Instruments and Indicator Lights
Page 38 of 204
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Range
The estimated range is displayed in kilometres. It 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.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. The value is displayed in steps of 5 km
after the
has come on.
The fuel consumption over the preceding 50 km is used to calculate the infor-
mation. The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after the battery has been disconnected), a fuel
consumption of 10 l/100 km is used initially, then the value is adapted accord-
ing to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed. Reset
the memory to zero if you want to measure the distance travelled from a par-
ticular moment » page 34, Operation .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1999 km or 9999 km on
vehicles with a MAXI DOT display. The indicator is set back to zero when this
period is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is displayed in km/hour .
Set the memory to zero at the start of measurement to determine the average
speed over a certain period » page 34, Operation .
No value will appear in the display until you have driven approximately 300 m
after this information has been deleted.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Current speed
The current speed, identical to the display on the speedometer 3
» Fig. 20 on
page 30 , is displayed.
Oil temperature 1)
The current engine oil temperature is displayed. If the oil temperature is lower
than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil temperature is
present, only - -.- is displayed instead of the oil temperature.
