For instrument panel identification, Application and ID

Setting Clock:





The digital clock is set via the push-button to the left of the display, as follows:
h: hours
m: minutes.
Holding either switch down for more than four seconds changes the time faster.

Average Speed 0 Km/h (0 Mph):





Average speed since last reset. When the ignition is switched off, the system saves the last average speed value recorded and uses it for further calculations until the reset switch is used.

Current Fuel Consumption L/100 Km (mpg):





Gives continuous information on current fuel consumption at 1-second intervals. Display reads '----' while car is stationary.

Average Fuel Consumption 0 L/100 Km (0 mpg):





Average fuel consumption since last reset. When the ignition is switched off, the system saves the last average fuel consumption figure recorded and uses it for further calculations until reset.

Outside Temperature:





Shows the outside temperature directly above the roadway when driving. If temperature is between +2 °C (36 °F) and -5 C (23 °F) or the equivalent, a red warning light comes on by the side of the display.
At low speeds or at a stand-still, the outside temperature may be higher than the ambient temperature due to heat from the engine.

Trip Meter km (miles):





Distance travelled since last reset. When the ignition is switched off, the system saves the last trip meter data stored and uses it for further calculations until reset.
When the trip meter is zeroed it shows the distance in meters (yards) up to 1 km (mile).

Remaining Range km (miles):





Shows range left on fuel left in fuel tank at current average fuel consumption and fuel left. If the fuel gauge reads less than 8 liters (2,1 gal), a warning light comes on on the instrument panel and the cursor on the display by range left' comes on, whatever function was selected. If the display reads '----', this means there is less than 10 km (5 miles) left until before the car runs out of gas.
