Technical Data
RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you
can still drive with your vehicle based on th e 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 fr om 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 20. 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 21,
fig. 19 on the windshield wiper leve r or the handwheel on the page 21, fig. 19
multifunction steering wheel*.
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 20. 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 21, fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or with the handwheel
 page 21, fig. 19 on the multifunction steering wheel*.
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 16,
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 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.Warning against excessive speedsYou can set the desired speed limit as follows:
– Select the menu point Speed warning --- km/h (warning at --- km/h). .
– Drive e.°g at a speed of 50 km/h.
– Press the button page 21, fig. 19 on the windshield wiper lever or the hand-
wheel page 21, fig. 19 on the multifunction steering wheel*. Speed warning
50 km/h (warning at 50 km/h) is displayed in the information display*. You can
increase or reduce this value with the button on the windshield wiper lever or
by turning the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel*.
– The value is stored by repeated pressing of the button on the windshield wiper lever or the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel*.
If you now exceed the set speed limit, Speed 50 km/h exceeded will be shown in the
display. This message is indicated for as long as the speed is reduced below the set
limit or switch off the message by pressing the button page 21, fig. 19 on the
windshield wiper lever or the handwheel page 21, fig. 19 on the multifunction
steering wheel*.

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 information display* appears Diesel-particle
filter: Owner's manual. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the
emergency mode, which only has a reduced po wer output. After switching the ignition
off and on again the warning light
 comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without delay by your specialist garage.
WARNING

If you do not pay attention to the warning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or major
vehicle damage.

Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warnin g light must not tempt you to disregard
the national regulations for road traffic.Caution
As long as the warning light

li ghts up, o ne must take into account an incre as ed f uel
consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the engine.

and exterior mirrors is retrieved.
Display of the locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confir m that the vehicle has been correctly locked.
If the vehicle is locked by pressing the bu tton and some doors or the boot lid are
not closed, the turn signal lights flash only after closing.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from th
e inside. The locked doors make it more
difficult for rescuers to get into th e vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note

Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed and
you have visual cont act with the vehicle.

– Push the main beam lever slightly forward in the spring-tensioned position in order to switch on the main beam page 59, fig. 43.
Switching off lights (except daylight driving lights)– Turn the light switch into position 0.
Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. After switching off the ignition,
the low beam is switched off automatica lly and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in fig. 37 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are iden-
tical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note

An audible warning will sound if you wi thdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.

The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the driver's
door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights on.

If the car is parked for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights, or
leaving only the parking lights switched on.

The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.

If a fault occurs in the light switch , the low beam comes on automatically

In the event of cool or humid weather cond itions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight
lenses is decisive.
 When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the border
areas.
 It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
 This mist has no influence on th e life of the lighting system.
