The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate the status of certain func-

tions or the presence of faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in

the display of the instrument cluster if required.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-

tion test. If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights extin-

guishes for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the

engine.

WARNING

■

Ignoring light-up indicator lamps in the instrument cluster and the control

symbols in the display may cause serious injury or damage to the vehicle.

Introduction

The driving data is displayed in the multifunction display when is ignition is

switched on.
On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display, there is an option to fade out the units

and some of the information

, Menu item Settings.

Information overview

Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Clock - current time is displayed.
Outside temperature - If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the

temperature indicator appears and a snowflake symbol  (display for low tem-

perature) flashes for a few seconds, then remains displayed together with the

outside temperature.
Driving time - Driving time since last clearing the memory.

A
B

Current fuel consumption - When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,

the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-

lowing appears --,- km/l). With G-TEC vehicles the current consumption of the

fuel currently being used is displayed ( with regards to a stationary or slow

moving vehicle, the natural gas consumption is displayed in kg/h).
Average fuel consumption - Is calculated continuously since the last clearing

of the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300

m driven. With G-TEC vehicles, the average consumption of fuel currently be-

ing used is displayed.
Natural gas quality - The details of the quality of natural gas are displayed as a

percentage of between 70% to 100%. The higher the value of natural gas, the

lower is the consumption.
Range - Drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-

pacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more efficiently this value

can increase. With G-TEC vehicles the following details are displayed - Range

with natural gas / petrol.
Distance driven - Distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Total distance travelled - Odometer
Average speed - Value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing

the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m

driven.
Current Speed - Digital speedometer.
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,

the engine operating temperature has been reached. If the temperature is be-

low 70 ° C, high engine speeds and straining the engine should be avoided. If

the temperature is over 120 ° C, the warning light lights up the instrument

cluster



» page 27

Oil temperature - if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in

the system for checking the oil temperature, the  symbols are displayed.
Warning of excessive speed - It is possible to set a speed limit.

WARNING

Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road

surface! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature dis-

play for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.

Using the system

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning at excessive speeds

The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic

warning signal will sound and the following warning message (MAXI DOT Dis-

play) and the  symbol appears in the display of the instrument cluster.

Adjust the speed limit while the vehicle is stationary

›

Select the menu item Speed warning at or  and confirm.

Confirm the set value, or wait several seconds; your settings will be saved

automatically.

Adjusting the speed limit while the vehicle is moving

›

Select the menu item Speed warning at or  and confirm.

›

Drive at the desired speed.

›

Confirm the current speed as the speed limit.

The set speed limit can be manually adjusted later if needed.

Reset speed limit

›

Select the menu item Speed warning at or  and confirm.

›

By confirming the speed stored in the memory, the speed limit is reset.

The set driving mode remains stored even after switching the ignition on and

off. If the break in a journey exceeds 2 hours, the pre-set speed limit is deacti-

vated.

Memory

Fig. 27 Memory display: MAXI DOT display / Segment Display

The system stores data from the two memories described below, which are

then displayed at position

» Fig. 27

“1” - Single-trip memory

Drive data is stored from when the ignition is switched on to when it is switch-

ed off. If the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition,

new data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically

erased.

“2” - Long-term memory

The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-

neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1,999 kilometres driv-

en.
The indicator is automatically set back to zero if one of these two values is ex-

ceeded.

›

To select the preferred memory bank choose the desired specification of

the multi-function display and select by repeatedly confirming the preferred

memory bank.

For Deleting the memory for the selected information, hold down the but-

ton confirming the specification.

The following drive data is stored in different memory banks.

▶

Average fuel consumption.

▶

The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will notify

you when a service is due.

Service record

A specialist garage will confirm the corresponding service record in the service

information system called Digital Service Plan.
We recommend that you always print out the respective service record.
