Information system

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).

Operating the information system

Fig. 26

Buttons on the control lever

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.

Driving data (multifunction display)

 Introduction

Current Speed - Digital speedometer.

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

switched on.

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.

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

and some of the information » page 36, Menu item Settings

WARNING

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.

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.

Driving time - Driving time since last clearing the memory.
