ward to decrease the speed.
Windshield washer/headlight washer
(certain models)
When the lever is pulled to wash the wind-
shield, high pressure jets mounted in the
bumper will spray the headlights.
CAUTION
•Use ample washer fluid when washing
the windshield to avoid scratching the
glass. The windshield should be thor-
oughly wet when the wipers are in oper-
ation.
•Before using the wipers, ice and snow
should be removed from the wind-
shield/rear window. Be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen in place.
•To conserve washer fluid in driving condi-
tions where the windshield washers are
used frequently, the headlights will only be
washed once for every five times the wind-
shield is washed within a 10-minute period.
•A short pull on the lever will wash the wind-
shield only.
•When approximately 1 US quart (1 liter)
remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the
headlights will not be washed when the
lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for
the windshield. A text message will also be
displayed to remind the driver to fill the
washer fluid reservoir.

2. Driving distance on current fuel
reserve
This function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the

consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km)of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank when the reading was taken.
When
"----" is displayed in the text window,
refuel as soon as possible.
3. Average fuel consumptionThis value indicates fuel consumption since the
last time the trip computer was reset (by press-
ing RESET, button C). When the engine is
switched off, information on fuel consumption
is stored and remains in system memory until
the RESET (button C) is pressed again.
4. Current fuel consumptionThis value indicates the current fuel consump-
tion, based on readings taken once per sec-
ond. When the vehicle is not moving, "----" will
be displayed.

12-volt sockets
02
80* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
These 12 volt sockets can be used to plug in
certain accessories such as cellular tele-
phones, etc.
The ignition key must be in at least position I
for the sockets in the front seat and the optional
socket at the rear of the center console to func-
tion.
The maximum current consumption is 10A
(120W) if only one of the 12-volt sockets in the
passenger compartment is in use. If both the
front and rear sockets are used at the same
time, the maximum current consumption per
socket is 7.5A (90W).
12-volt socket in the cargo compartment
Fold down the lid to use the socket. This socket
can be used even if the ignition is switched off.
NOTE
•If the 12-volt sockets are used while the
engine is not running, there is a risk that
the vehicle's battery will be discharged.
•If the ignition is switched off and a
device drawing more than 0.1 A is con-
nected to a socket, a battery warning
will be displayed in the text window.
•The covers should be kept on when the
auxiliary sockets are not in use.
