WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving whenoperating the on-board computer.

WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or there is a malfunction, you may not know about
safety-related function restrictions. The oper-ating safety of your vehicle may be affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Immediately stop the vehicle while paying
attention to the traffic conditions and consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
All vehicles, except PLUG-IN HYBRID vehi-
cles:
The on-board computer only shows messages or warnings from certain systems in the multifunc-
tion display. You should therefore make sure
your vehicle is operating safely at all times. For an overview, see the instrument cluster illus-
tration (Y page 32). Displays and operation

before opening the bonnet. If there is a fire in the engine compartment, leave the bonnet
closed and notify the fire brigade.
