Doors, bonnet and boot open
After unlocking the vehicle and while driving,
the display on the instrument panel shows
whether any of the doors, bonnet and the
boot are open and, if necessary, it may also
be indicated by an acoustic signal. The dis-
play may vary according to the type of instru-
ment panel fitted.
Selector lever positions (DSG ®
dual clutch
gearbox)
The current position of the selector lever is
displayed both next to the lever and on the
instrument panel display. When the lever is
in the D/S position, as well as in the Tiptronic
position, the gear engaged at any time is dis- played on the instrument panel display.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature is lower than ap-
prox. +4°C (+39°F), the external temperature
display additionally lights up the “snowflake
symbol”
. This symbol remains lit until the
outside temperature rises above +6°C
(+43°F) ›››
.
When the vehicle is stationary, when the aux-
iliary heater is switched on or when driving at very low speed, the outside temperature dis-
played may be higher than the actual temper-
ature due to the heat discharged by the en-
gine.
The measuring range extends from -45°C
(-49°F) to +76°C (+169°F).
Gear-change recommendation
While driving, the instrument panel may indi-
cate a gear-change recommendation for sav-
ing fuel.
Odometer
The odometer registers the total distance
travelled by the car.
The odometer (trip
) displays the distance
travelled since the last odometer reset.●
Set the Trip recorder to zero using the Info-
tainment System or the multifunction steer-
ing wheel ››› page 5

Speed warning for winter tyres
If the maximum speed setting is exceeded,
this will be displayed on the instrument pan-
el display ››› page 4
