Instruments and controls You can check the distance left by selecting Dist. At the same time you can check the calculated time of arrival. After the distance to destination has decreased to zero, Dist will function as a trip meter (see Using DIST as a trip meter). The starting value for the trip meter will be the last distance set for the Dist function. Example: The Dist function is set to 100 miles. After the count-down has reached 0 miles, Dist will act as a trip meter beginning at 100 miles. Calculating the arrival time if a specified average speed is maintained (When will I arrive if I know how far I have to drive and know what my average speed will be?) This function should be used before starting out a journey. First, set the distance under Dist. 1 Then select Speed Ø function. 2 Press and hold the SET button until given audible confirmation. 3 Set the estimated average speed using the steering wheel controls. 4 Confirm the setting by pressing the SET button. The distance and the calculated time of arrival is now displayed. The time of arrival is updated during the journey based on the average speed since Dist was set. The speed of the car must exceed 12 mph (20 km/h). By selecting Dist during the journey, you can see how much distance is left to travel. When Dist reaches zero it acts as a trip meter. The trip meter starts from the distance that was set previously. 93 NIGHTPANEL To improve night-driving conditions inside the car, the Night Panel mode can be selected. In this mode, the amount of information displayed is reduced, and only the most important instruments and displays will be illuminated. When the NIGHTPANEL button is pressed, only the speedometer will be illuminated. All other instrument lighting will be switched off and the needles drop to zero. Note: All indicator and warning lights and messages will operate normally if required. Temp (when the outside temperature falls or rises to between 26 and 38°F (-3 and +3°C)) and D.T.E. (when the remaining fuel is only sufficient for approx. 80 miles (50 km) of driving) are even shown in Night Panel model.
