Informative text
Information relating to different vehicle processes.
Mileage
The od
omet
er
registers the total distance
travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip) shows the distance
travelled since the last odometer reset. The
last digit of the trip recorder indicates distan-
ces of 100 metres or one tenths of a mile.
Outside temperature display
When the outside temperature is below +4°C
(+39°F), the “ice crystal” symbol (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 v
ehicl
e is at a st
andstill, with the
auxiliary heating on (
›››
page 184), 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
