the engine is running and the vehicle is standing still.
When units are set to kilometers, the display shows liters consumed
per hour when the engine is running and the vehicle is standing still.
Av. consumption ø --
- mpg
Average fuel consumption in miles per gallon (l/ km) on trips per trip
memories 1 and 2 (toggle) is displayed once the vehicle has been
driven about feet ( m). Until then, dashes appear instead of a num-
ber. The value displayed is updated every 5 seconds.
Range
Estimated distance in miles (km) that the vehicle can go with the fuel
left in the tank the way you are currently driving. Takes account of the
current fuel consumption, among other things.
Route Distance driven in miles (km) per trip memories 1 and 2 (toggle).
Av. speed ø

Calm and smooth driving
Consistency is more important than speed. The more smoothly you drive, the less fuel the vehicle
consumes.
When driving on the highway or freeway, a constant, moderate speed is more efficient and economical
than constantly accelerating and braking. Usually you can reach your destination just as quickly by
driving at a moderate, but steady speed.
The cruise control system can assist in maintaining a uniform driving style.
Moderate use of extra electrical loads
Comfort inside the vehicle is nice and important, but it is important to use them in an environmentally
conscious manner.
Some devices can increase fuel consumption when activated (examples):
x Climate control system (air conditioner): If the air conditioner has to produce starkly contrasting
temperatures, it requires a large amount of energy, which is generated by the engine. The temperature
in the vehicle should therefore not be extremely different from that of the outside temperature. It may
be helpful to ventilate the vehicle before driving and then to drive a short distance with the windows
open. After that, switch on the air conditioner with the windows closed. Keep the windows closed when
driving at high speeds. Open windows increase fuel consumption.
x Switch off seat heating once it has served its purpose.
x Switch off the rear window defroster as soon as the windows are free of fog and ice.
Additional factors that increase fuel consumption (examples):
x Malfunctioning engine control.
x Driving in the mountains.
x Towing a trailer.
NOTICE
Never let the vehicle coast or roll down a hill in Neutral (N), especially when the engine is not
running. The transmission will not be lubricated and will be damaged.
