Eco guide & Power guide*

Instantaneous value

The instantaneous value is shown here - the

higher the reading on the scale, the better.

Eco guide and Power guide are two com-

bined instrument panel (p. 68) instruments

which help the driver to drive the car with

optimum driving economy.

The instantaneous value is calculated based

on speed, engine speed, engine power uti-

lised plus use of the foot brake.

The car also stores statistics of journeys

made, which can be viewed in the form of a

block diagram; see Trip computer - trip statis-

tics* (p. 129).

Optimum speed (50-80 km/h (30-50 mph))

and low engine speeds are encouraged. The

pointers fall during acceleration and braking.

03

Eco guide

This instrument provides an indication of how

economically the car is being driven.

Very low instantaneous values illuminate the

red zone on the meter (with a short delay),

which means poor driving economy and

hence should be avoided.

Available engine power

Engine power utilised

To view this function, select the theme "Eco";

see Digital combined instrument panel - over-

view (p. 69).

Average value

Available engine power

The average value slowly follows the instanta-

neous value and describes how the car has

been driven most recently. The higher the

pointers on the scale, the better the economy

achieved by the driver.

The smaller, upper pointer shows the availa-

ble engine power⁹. The higher the reading on

the scale, the more power is available in the

current gear.

Engine power utilised

Power guide

The larger, lower pointer shows the engine

power utilised⁹. The higher the reading on the

scale, the more power is being taken from the

engine.

This instrument shows the relationship

between how much power (Power) is being

taken from the engine and how much power

is available.

A large gap between the two pointers indi-

cates a large power reserve.

To view this function, select the theme

"Performance"; see Digital combined instru-

ment panel - overview (p. 69).

ABL fault

The symbol illuminates if a fault has arisen in

Stability system, sport mode

Sport mode allows for a more active driving

experience. The system then detects whether

the accelerator pedal, steering wheel move-

ments and cornering are more active than in

normal driving and then allows controlled

skidding of the rear section up to a certain

level before it intervenes and stabilises the

car. The symbol illuminates when the sport

mode is activated.

Heating, rear window and door mirrors

The function is used to remove ice and mist-

ing from the windscreen, rear window and

door mirrors.

One press of the respective button starts the

heating. The light in the button indicates that

the function is active. Switch off the heating

as soon as the ice/misting is cleared in order

not to load the battery unnecessarily. How-

ever, the function is switched off automati-

Rearview mirror - interior

Compass*

The upper right-hand corner of the rearview

mirror contains a display that shows the com-

pass direction in which the front of the car is

pointing.

The interior rearview mirror can be dimmed

with a control in the mirror's lower edge.

Alternatively, the rearview mirror dims auto-

matically.

The rearview mirror contains two sensors -

one forward facing and one rearward facing -

that work together to identify and eliminate

dazzling light. The forward facing sensor

detects ambient light, while the rearward fac-

ing sensor detects the light from vehicle

headlights behind.

Operation

03

NOTE

If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking

permits, transponders, sun visors or

objects in the seats or in the cargo area in

such a way that light is prevented from

reaching the sensors, then the dimming

function of the rearview mirror is reduced.

Control for dimming

Only rearview mirror with automatic dimming

can be equipped with compass (p. 113).

Manual dimming

Eight different directions are shown with Eng-

lish abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east),

E (east), SE (south east), S (south), SW (south

west), W (west) and NW (north west).

Bright light from behind could be reflected in

the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use

dimming with the dimming control when

lights from behind are distracting:

character C is shown in the display when

the heated windscreen is activated, per-

form the calibration in accordance with

point 6 above with the heated windscreen

activated, see Demisting and defrosting

the windscreen (p. 141).

Calibration

The compass may need calibrating to show

the correct compass direction.

The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.

The compass should be calibrated if the car

is moved across several magnetic zones.

Proceed as follows to perform calibration:

8. Repeat the above procedure as neces-

sary.

1. Stop the car in a large open area free

from steel structures and high-voltage

power lines.

2. Start the car and switch off all electrical

equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.)

and ensure that all doors are closed.

4. Press the button repeatedly until the

required magnetic zone (1–15) is shown.

See the map of magnetic zones for the

compass.

NOTE

Calibration may fail or not start at all if

electrical equipment is not switched off.

5. Wait until the display returns to showing

the character C, or hold the button on the

underside of the rearview mirror

3. Hold the button on the underside of the

rearview mirror depressed (use a paper

clip or similar) for approx. 3 seconds. The

number of the current magnetic zone is

shown.

depressed for approx. 6 seconds until the

character C is shown.

6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no

more than 10 km/h (6 mph) until a com-

pass direction is shown in the display,

indicating that calibration is complete.

Then drive a further 2 circles to fine-tune

calibration.

Average

Average fuel consumption is calculated from

Range - distance to empty tank

The trip computer shows the approximate

distance that can be driven with the fuel

quantity remaining in the tank.

lates vales such as e.g. distance, fuel con-

sumption and average speed whilst driving.
