Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev­
olutions per minute (RPM) .
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum permissible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in
and when it is warm. Before reaching the red
zone, you should shift into the next higher gear,
choose the Dor S selector lever position, or re­
move your foot from the accelerator pedal.
@ Note
The needle in the tachometer may only be in
the red area of the gauge for a short per iod of
time or there is a risk of damaging the engine .
The location where the red zone begins varies
depending on the engine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re­
duce operating noise.
Odometer
Fig. 12 Instrument cluste r: odomete r and reset button
Trip odometer and odometer
The trip odometer shows the distance driven
since it was last reset . It can be used to measure
short distances .
The trip odometer can be reset to zero by press­ ing the reset button 10.01

The odometer shows the total d istance that the
veh icle has been driven.

Malfunction indicator
If there is a malfunction in the instrument clus­
ter,
DEF will appear in the trip odometer disp lay.
Have the malfunction corrected as soon as possi ­
ble.
On-board computer
You can access the following information in the
on-board computer
r=> page 19, fig . 5 @ .
-Time and date ~page 175
-Average consumption
-Range
- Short-term memory overv iew
- Long-term memory overview
The short -term memory collects driving informa­
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un ­
til it is switched off. If you continue driving with·
in two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur­
rent trip information .
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se­
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa­
tion yourself .
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown us­
ing a bar graph . The average consumption stored
in the short-term memory is also displayed. If
the bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel
through one of the following functions:
- Recuperation : electrical energy can be stored in
the vehicle battery when the vehicle is coasting or driving downhill. The bar will move toward
CJ .

on the system you are programm ing .
- Depending on the system model, you may need to release the button on the remote

On some systems, programming a rolling code is
also necessary.

vent the vehicle from "creeping", yo u m ust
keep your foot on the brake in a ll selector

-Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set . This could result in a crash .
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine running while in gear.
If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the P position .
- To decrease the risk of an accident, these­
lector lever must be in the P position and
the parking brake must be set before open­
ing the hood and working on a running en­
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings¢
page 235, Working in the en­
gine compartment.
{[) Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the
N position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter.
@ Tips
- Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the
Dynamic driving
mode. The Infotainment display shows 5 as
the selector lever position instead of D.
- If you accidentally select N while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im­
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting Dor 5 .
- If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the P position. The
emergency release can be used if this hap­
pens. Left-hand drive vehicles

Selector lever lock
The selector lever lock prevents you from select­
ing a gear accidentally, causing the vehicle to
roll.
Fig. 71 Selecto r lever lock
To release the selector lever lock:
.,. Switch on the ignition.
.,. Press the brake pedal
while pressing the inter-
lock button.
Automatic shift lock (ASL)
The selector lever is locked in the P and N posi­
tions when the ignition is switched on. You must press the brake pedal to select another position.
You must also press the interlock button if you
are moving from the
P position. The following
message appears in the display when the selector
lever is in the P or
N position to remind the driv­
er:
To select a gear, please press brake pedal and press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati­
cally deactivated in the N position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through N, for example from R to D. This
makes it possible to free the vehicle when it is
stuck by "rocking" it. The selector lever lock en­
gages if the lever stays in the N position longer
than approximately 2 seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.

Driving - The transmission can overheat and be dam­
aged under certain driving and traffic condi­
tions such as frequent starts, creeping for a
long time, or stop -and-go traffic. When the
@] or. indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool
r=;, page 70 .
-Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S tronic trans ­
mission because it is not lubricated
¢ page 286, Towing with a tow truck.
@ Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re­
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is engaged in the buckle.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills .
Hill descent control is ac tivated when the selec­
tor lever is in the Dor S position and you press
the brake pedal. The transmission automatically
selects a gear that is suitable for the hill. Hill de­
scent control tries to maintain the speed ach­
ieved at the time of braking, within physical and
technical limitations.
If may still be necessary to
adjust the speed with the brakes. Because hill de ­
scent control cannot shift down farther than 3rd
gear, it may be necessary to shift into tiptronic
mode in very steep areas. In this case, shift man­
ually into 1st or 2nd gear in tiptronic mode to
use the engine's braking force to relieve the
brakes .
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev­
els out or you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
¢ page 72, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.
A WARNING
Hill descent control cannot overcome physical
limitations, so it may not be able to maintain
a constant speed under all conditions. Always
be ready to apply the brakes.

Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shi~ the
gears manually .
