Outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
The correct value 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
warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
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.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒ page 19. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of time
you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
