Applies to vehicles: with on-board computer

Introduction

The on-board computer provides you with useful informa-

tion during a journey, including average and current fuel

consumption, average speed, fuel range and driving time.

The following items of information are processed by the on-board

computer and can be shown one after the other on the display in the

instrument cluster.

Fuel range

The estimated fuel range is displayed in km. It shows how far the

vehicle can be driven with the amount of fuel left in the tank,

assuming the same style of driving. The fuel range is displayed in

increments of 10 km.

The fuel range is calculated on the basis of the fuel consumption

over the last 30 kilometres. The fuel range will increase accordingly

if you drive in a more economical manner.

Average fuel consumption

This mode displays the average fuel consumption since the memory

was last cancelled in litres/100 km. If required, you can use this

display to adjust your driving style to achieve the desired fuel

consumption.

Current fuel consumption

The display shows the current fuel consumption in litres/100 km. If

required, you can use this display to adjust your driving style to

achieve the desired fuel consumption.

The computer calculates the fuel consumption every 30 metres. The

display switches to l/h (litres per hour) when the vehicle is

stationary.

Average speed

This mode shows the average speed driven since the memory was

last cancelled (in km/h).

Driving time

This display shows the period of time which has elapsed since the

memory was last cancelled.

Distance covered

This display shows the distance you have covered since the memory

was last cancelled.

Note

• The displays for fuel consumption (average and current

consumption), fuel range and speed are shown in metric units. You

can change the measurement units on the MMI display.

• The information in the memory is cancelled if the battery is

disconnected.

Applies to vehicles: with on-board computer

Memory

The on-board computer has two automatic journey

memories.

Press RESET button ⇒ fig. 20 to switch back and forward

between the functions of on-board computers 1 and 2.

The number in the display ⇒ fig. 19 indicates which of the two

memories is currently in use. The figure 1 means that the display is

showing the information in the single journey memory (on-board

computer 1). The figure 2 means that the display is showing the

information in the total journey memory (on-board computer 2).

Single journey memory (on-board computer 1)

The single journey memory processes the information on a journey

from the time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If

the journey is resumed within two hours after the ignition is

switched off, the new figures are automatically included in the

calculation. The memory is automatically deleted when you resume

driving, if the journey is interrupted for more than two hours.

Total journey memory (on-board computer 2)

Unlike the single journey memory, the total journey memory is not

erased automatically. In this way, you can determine the period for

which you wish the on-board computer to supply figures.

Applies to vehicles: with on-board computer

Controls

The on-board computer is controlled by means of two

switches on the windscreen wiper lever.

– Press the top or bottom of the function selector switch

⇒ fig. 20. This displays the on-board computer read-

outs one after the other.

The on-board computer can only be operated while the ignition is

switched on. When the ignition is switched on, the display shows

the function that was last selected.

As well as the figures from the on-board computer (computer 1 or

2), the display can also show information from the digital speedom-

Resetting figures to zero

To cancel one of the computer readings individually, select the

required function and press the RESET button for at least one

second. The following values can be reset to zero individually using

the Reset button:

• Average fuel consumption

• Average speed

• Driving time

• Distance covered

You can also cancel all the values in the single journey memory or

the total journey memory at the same time ⇒ page 27.

Note

The information in the memory is cancelled if the battery is

disconnected.

Applies to vehicles: with on-board computer

Basic settings for the on-board computer

You can change the basic settings for the on-board

computer on the MMI* or on the sound system control

console.

– Select: Function selector button > Instrument

cluster > On-board computer 1 or On-board computer 2.

You can zero all the values in the single journey memory or the total

journey memory at the same time by selecting the Reset menu item.

You can also define which items of information you wish to have

displayed by the on-board computer. If one of these items is

switched off, it will not appear in the display. However, the corre-

sponding figures will still be registered by the on-board computer

and can be switched back on at any time so that they again appear

in the display.
