The distance covered is displayed in “kilometres” or miles “m”. It is possi-
ble to change the measurement units (kilometres “km”/miles “m”) in the
radio/Easy Connect*. Please refer to the Easy Connect* Instruction Manual
for more details.
Odometer/trip recorder
The odometer shows the total distance covered by the vehicle.
The trip recorder shows the distance that has been travelled since it was
last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of the trip recorder
indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be set to zero by pressing
0.0/SET

Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters DEF will appear in the
trip recorder display. Have the fault repaired immediately, as far as is possi-
ble.
Fuel level
The display

⇒ Fig. 38 only works when the ignition is switched on. When
the display reaches the reserve mark, the lower diode lights up in red and
the control lamp appears ⇒ page 248. When the fuel level is very low,
the lower diode flashes in red.
The distance to empty fuel level is displayed on the instrument panel

⇒ Fig. 38.
The capacity of the fuel tank of your vehicle is given in the Technical data
section ⇒ page 323.
In natural gas engines
The yellow warning lamp lights up when both fuel types (petrol and natu-
ral gas) have reached reserve level.
The green control lamp comes on when the vehicle is working with natural
gas.
The green control lamp switches off when the natural gas is exhausted.
The engine changes to operate with petrol.
Thing to note: If the vehicle is left parked for a long time immediately after
refuelling, the natural gas level indicator may not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the vehicle is started up again. This
is not due to a leak in the system, but to a drop in pressure in the gas tank
for technical reasons after a cooling phase immediately after refuelling.
CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An irregular fuel supply could cause
misfiring. In this way the unburned fuel can reach the exhaust system,
which could cause the catalytic converter to overheat resulting in damage.
