Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights20
Outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is
switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5
minutes. If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the
temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outside
temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol
(warning signal for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature
indicator ⇒ fig. 7 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temper-
ature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black
ice may also be present on the road surface even at temperatures
around +4 °C - warning, drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data
(guidance to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for
vehicles which have a navigation and information display).
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the
distance you can still drive with your vehicle 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.
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.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery)
before a new readout for the range is displayed.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km.
This information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel
consumption you wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a
low speed.
