iDriveVehicle equipment
All standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment

ment or country variant. This also applies for
safety-related functions and systems.
The concept

of switches. Thus, these functions can be oper‐
ated from a central location.

an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's occu‐
pants and to other road users, never attempt to
