allows you to see whether your current driving
style is conducive to fuel economy with mini-
mum exhaust emissions.

Engine oil temperature*

When the engine is at normal operating temper-
ature, the engine oil temperature is between
approx. 210

sage appears on the Control Display.

If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer period,
when you are driving in mountainous areas, for
example, the indicator may fluctuate slightly.

Reserve

Once the fuel level has fallen to the reserve
zone, a message briefly appears on the Control
Display and the cruising range for the remaining
amount of fuel is displayed on the computer.
Under a cruising range of approx. 30 miles/
50 km, the message remains in the Control Dis-
play.

Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/

50 km; otherwise, engine functions are not
ensured and damage can occur.
