Technical Data
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. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for
more than 2 hours
.
Total-trip memory (memory 2) The total distance driven memory gathers da
ta from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew. The total-trip memory will not, contrary to
the single-trip memory, be deleted after a
period of interr
uption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory
1 and
2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper lever and on the multifunction steering wheel*Fig. 19 Multi-functional indicator: Control elementsThe rocker switch and the button are lo

the licence plate lighting or the parking
light (in one rear light unit) are defective.
Check regularly the function of the light
bulbs.Diesel particle filter*
(diesel engine)
If the warning light
comes on, this means that soot
has accumulated in the diesel
particle filter because of the frequent short distances. In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1
800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until
the warning light goes out with the 4th or
5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: posi-
tion S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits
⇒
.
The warning light
goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle filter.
If the filter is not properly
cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash. In the in
formation display* appears
Diesel-particle

. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the emer-
gency mode, which only has a reduced power
output. After switchin
g the ignition off
and on again the warning light
comes on.
