Cruising range

Displays the estimated cruising range
available with the remaining fuel. The sys-
tem calculates the cruising range based on
operating conditions and the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank. The basis for the cal-
culations is the average fuel consumption
over the preceding 20 miles/30 km.

Always refuel as soon as possible
once your cruising range falls to

below 30 miles/50 km, as otherwise engine

functions are not ensured and damage can
occur.

<

Refueling is only registered by the com-
puter for fuel amounts above approx.
1.3 gallons/5 liters.

Average fuel consumption

The average fuel consumption is calculated
for the time during which the engine is run-
ning.

You can use the Control Display to view
your fuel consumption rate over two differ-
ent distances, refer to Computer or Trip

zero: press the BC button in the turn signal
indicator lever for approx. 2 seconds.

Average speed

Periods with the vehicle parked and the
engine switched off are not included in the
