Successive gray illuminated fields indicate the
upcoming upshift moment.
As soon as the red fields light up, shift up im‐
mediately.
When the permitted maximum speed is
reached, all shift point indicators flash.
When the maximum speed is exceeded, the
supply of fuel is interrupted in order to protect
the engine.

The concept
The Chrono package consists of three display
instruments in the cockpit, where the engine oil
pressure, the turbocharger boost, and the time
are displayed. In addition, intermediate and to‐
tal times can be measured using the stop
watch.
The display elements of the Chrono package
mainly support a sporty driving style, e,g, on
racetracks.

control
The concept
The low beams are switched on and off auto‐
matically depending on the ambient bright‐
ness, e.g. in tunnels, in twilight or if there is
precipitation.
General information
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
When emerging from a tunnel during the day,
the low beams are not switched off immedi‐
ately but instead only after approx. 2 minutes.
Activating Position of switch:
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up when the low beams are switched on.
System limits The automatic headlamp control cannot serve
as a substitute for your personal judgment of
lighting conditions.
E. g. the sensors are unable to detect fog or
hazy weather. To avoid safety risks under these

also lights the interior area of the curve. Below
a speed of approx. 25 mph/40 km/h when the
turn signal is switched on and the steering an‐
gle is detected, there is automatic activation.
Malfunction A Check Control message is displayed.
Cornering light is disrupted or failed. Have the
system checked as soon as possible.
High-beam Assistant
The concept
When the low beams are activated, this system automatically switches the high beams on and
off. The procedure is controlled by a camera on
the front of the interior rearview mirror. The as‐
sistant ensures that the high beams are acti‐
vated whenever the traffic situation allows. The
driver can intervene at any time and switch the
high beams on and off as usual. In the low
speed range, the high beams are not switched
on by the system.
Activating
The High-beam Assistant can be activated
when the low beams are activated.
1.Depending on the equipment, turn the light
switch into position
or .
2.Press button on the turn signal lever, arrow.
The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up.
When the low beams are on, the lights are au‐
tomatically brightened or dimmed.
The system responds to light from oncoming
traffic and traffic driving ahead of you, and to
adequate illumination, e.g., in towns and cities.
The blue indicator lamp in the instru‐
ment cluster lights up when the system
switches on the high beams.

The High-beam Assistant can be switched off
when manually adjusting the light.
To reactivate the high-beam Assistant, press
the button on the turn signal lever, refer to
page 96.
System limits
The High-beam Assistant cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver's personal judgment of
when to use the high beams. Therefore, man‐
ually switch off the high beams in situations
where required to avoid a safety risk.
The system is not fully functional in situations such as the following, and driver intervention
may be necessary:
▷In very unfavorable weather conditions,
such as fog or heavy precipitation.▷When detecting poorly-lit road users such
as pedestrians, cyclists, horseback riders
and wagons; when driving close to train or
ship traffic; and at animal crossings.▷In tight curves, on hilltops or in depressions,
in cross traffic or half-obscured oncoming
traffic on freeways.▷In poorly-lit towns and cities and in the
presence of highly reflective signs.▷When the windshield behind the interior
rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov‐
ered with stickers, etc.Fog lights

tended in the event of an accident despite re‐
spective accident severity. There is risk of
injuries or danger to life. Have the airbag sys‐
tem checked, repaired, dismantled and scrap‐
ped by a dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop. ◀

Automatic deactivation of the front-
seat passenger airbags
The concept
The system reads if the front passenger seat is
occupied by measuring the human body's re‐
sistance.
Front, knee and side airbag on the front pas‐
senger's side are either activated or deacti‐
vated.
Information Before transporting a child on the front passen‐
ger seat, refer to the safety notes and instruc‐
tions for children on the front passenger seat,
see Children.
WARNING
The ensure the front-seat passenger air‐
bag function, it must be detected, whether a
person occupies the front passenger seat. The
entire seat cushion area must be used for this
purpose. There is risk of injuries or danger to
life. Make sure that the front passenger keeps
his or her feet in the floor area. ◀
Malfunction of the automatic deactivation system
When transporting older children and adults,
the front-seat passenger airbags may be deac‐
tivated in certain sitting positions. In this case,
the indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger
airbags lights up.
In this case, change the sitting position so that
the front-seat passenger airbags are activated
and the indicator lamp goes out.
If it is not possible to activate the airbags, have
the person sit in the rear.
To enable correct recognition of the occupied
seat cushion▷Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or
other items to the front passenger seat un‐
less they are specifically determined to be
safe for use on the front passenger seat.▷Do not place any electronic devices on the
passenger seat if a child restraint system is
to be installed on it.▷Do not place objects under the seat that
could press against the seat from below.▷No moisture in or on the seat.
Indicator lamp for the front-seat
passenger airbags
The indicator lamp for the front-seat passenger
airbags indicates the operating state of the
front-seat passenger airbags.
