For reasons of driving safety,
input data to the computer only before
starting your journey or when the car
is at a standstill.

The computer calculates and memo-
rises data from the start of the journey

operating a remote control; see Page

Outside temperature
To display: Press the TEMP button.
If the outside temperature falls below
+3
6 , a gong signal is heard as a
warning; the outside temperature is
displayed and flashes for 8 seconds.
The warning is repeated if the temper-
ature rises to at least +6
6 and then
drops again to +3 6 .
a
Whether or not a temperature
warning is given, remember that ice
can still form on the road at above
+3
6 in certain circumstances, for
instance on bridges and in shadow.
c
Probable range
This display indicates how far the car
can probably be driven on the fuel
remaining in the tank. The value takes
into account the way in which way the
car has so far been driven.
To display: Press the RANGE button.
A plus sign (+) in front of the value
means that it is still being corrected
(measuring tolerance).
If three display segments flash, the
range is below 15 km (app. 9 miles)
and the car should be refuelled as
soon as possible.
The on-board computer registers fuel
added to the tank only
d
if the quantity exceeds 4 litres and
d
when the engine has been
stopped.
