Mode selection
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, you can request information
from the computer using the button in
the turn signal lever. Each time you
press the button briefly toward the
steering column, a new function is
called up in the display.
The displays appear in the following
order:
Time, outside temperature, average fuel
consumption, cruising range, average
vehicle speed.
When the ignition key is in position 1
and higher, the last active setting is dis-
played.
Outside temperature
You can change the units of measure –
6/7 – for the outside temperature dis-
play by pressing the right-hand reset
button in the instrument cluster while
the temperature display is active. The
units of measure – 6/7 – in the tem-
perature display of the automatic cli-
mate control change automatically,
refer to page 96.
Ice warning
If the outside temperature drops to
about 37.57/+36, then the computer
will automatically switch to a display of
the outside temperature. In addition, a
signal sounds as a warning and the dis-
play flashes for a brief period.
After giving an ice warning, the
display returns to the previous
setting.<
The ice warning does not alter to
the fact that surface ice can form
at temperatures above 37.57/+36,
on bridges or shaded road surfaces, for
instance.<
