In strumen ts and ind ica tor ligh ts
You can call up the following information in the
on-board computer :
-Date
- Driving time from the short-term memory
- Average consumpt ion from the short -term
memory
- Average speed from the short -term memory
- Distance driven from the shor t -term memory
- Current fuel consumption
- Short-term memory overview
- Long-term memory overview
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the t ime the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you cont inue driving with-
in two ho urs after switching the ignition off , the
new values are included when calculating the cur-

tion yourself.
For some veh icle functions , you can access the

Fuel consumpti on
The current fuel consumption can be shown us-
ing a bar g raph c:> fig. 8. The average consump-
tion stored in the short-term memory is also dis-
played . If the bar is green, your vehicle is saving
fue l through one of t he following functions :
