Mileage
The
odometer
registers the total distance
tr
avelled by the car.
The odometer (trip) shows the distance trav-
elled since the last odometer reset. The last
digit of the trip recorder indicates distances
of 100 metres or one tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
When the outside temperature is below +4 °C
(+39 °F), the symbol “ice crystal” (warning of
risk of freezing) is also displayed next to the
temperature. At first this symbol flashes and
then it remains lit until the outside tempera-
ture rises above +6 °C (+43 °F) ›››
.
When the vehicle is at a standstill, with the
auxiliary heating on (››› page 128), or when
travelling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature, as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40 °C to +50 °C (-40 °F to +122 °F).

tem on, the cardinal point corresponding to
the vehicle's direction of travel is displayed
