Mileage
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder ( trip ) shows the distance travelled since the last reset. The
last digit of the trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a
mile.
Outside temperature display
When the outside temperature is below +4 °C (+39 °F), the symbol "ice crys-
tal" (warning of risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the temperature.
At first this symbol flashes and then it remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6 °C (+43 °F) ⇒
When the vehicle is at a standstill, with the auxiliary heating on
(⇒ p age 164), or when travelling at very low speeds, the temperature dis-
played may be higher than the true outside temperature, as a result of the
heat produced by the engine.
