RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you
can still drive with your vehi cle 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), th e fuel consumption of
10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accordingly
to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
page 19. If you wish to measure the distance driven of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button page 20,
fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or the handwheel on the multifunction
steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memo ries 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 speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour page 19. If you wish to determine the average vehicle speed over a certain
period of time, you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using
the button page 20, fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or with the handwheel
on the multifunction steering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 .
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Current speed*The current speed which is identical to the display of the speedometer page 15,
fig. 15 is indicated on the display.oil temperature*The oil temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on. If the oil
temperature is lower than 50°C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil tempera-
ture is present, three lines are displayed instead of the oil temperature.Warning against excessive speedsWarning against excessive speeds
This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A text in the
display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you have exceeded the set
speed limit.
You can set the desired speed limit as follows:
Select the menu point Speed warning --- km/h (warning at --- km/h). .

If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be caused
by an operating problem at the coolant fan. Check the fuse for the coolant fan, replace
it if necessary page 247, “Fuse assignment in engi ne compartment - version 1” or
page 248, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment - version 2”.
Do not continue driving if the warning light does not go off although the fluid is at the
correct level and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order. Contact a specialist garage
to obtain assistance.
Please refer to the following guidelines page 219, “Cooling system”.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*: Check coolant! Owner's manual!
4)The warning light on vehicles fitted with information display does not come on after switching
the ignition on, but only if the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low.
