Driver information
Warning and indicator lamp overview
The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some
warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and should go out once the
engine is running or the vehicle is in motion.

To open the Head-up Display settings menu, press the button or function button and
touch the Vehicle, and Head-up Display function buttons.
The following settings are available:
•Adjust the Head-up Display brightness. If the surroundings become darker, the display
brightness is automatically dimmed. The basic brightness is adjusted together with the
instrument and switch lighting ⇒ Operation and display in the Infotainment system.
•Select the desired colour scheme. You can choose between a standard colour scheme and an
alternative colour scheme.
•Select the content of the Head-up Display, e.g. Adaptive Cruise Control or Infotainment system.
Some content cannot be deactivated, e.g. warning messages.
Sun glasses with polarisation filters and unfavourable lighting conditions may impair the
effectiveness of the display.
The ideal position to read the Head-up Display depends on your seat position and the height
setting of the Head-up Display.
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and
therefore change automatically when the user account is changed ⇒ Personalisation.

NOTICE

using the button or function button and the Vehicle, and
Driver assistance function buttons ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
In trailer mode, the speed warning function display can be adjusted to the type of trailer or to legal
requirements. The settings can be adjusted in increments of 10 km/h (5 mph) within a range
between 60 km/h (40 mph) and 130 km/h (80 mph). If a higher speed is set than is permitted for
driving with a trailer in the country in which you are currently travelling, Dynamic Road Sign Display
automatically issues a warning at the usual speed limit, e.g. at 80 km/h (50 mph) in Germany.
If the speed warning for the trailer is deactivated, Dynamic Road Sign Display issues warnings as if
the vehicle was being driven without a trailer.
Functional limitations
Dynamic Road Sign Display is subject to system-related limitations. The following conditions can
restrict the function of Dynamic Road Sign Display, or prevent it from working altogether:
•Poor visibility, e.g. snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.
•Dazzling, e.g. from oncoming traffic or sunlight.
•High speeds.
•Covered or dirty camera.
•Traffic signs located outside of the camera's field of view.
•Partially or fully hidden traffic signs, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.
•Non-standard traffic signs.
•Damaged or bent traffic signs.
•Variable traffic signs on gantries (changeable traffic sign display using LEDs or other light
sources).
•Out-of-date map material in the Infotainment system.
•Vehicles with traffic sign stickers, e.g. speed restrictions on trucks.
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can
therefore change automatically when the user account is changed ⇒ Personalisation.
Time
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
•To set the time (on all vehicle clocks), press and hold the button in the instrument
cluster while the doors are closed until the word Time appears in the instrument cluster display
⇒ Analogue instrument cluster or ⇒ Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display).
•Release the button. The time is shown in the instrument cluster display and the hour
setting is marked.
•Then press the button repeatedly until the required hour is displayed. Press and hold
the button to scroll through quickly.
The intelligent Dynamic Road Sign Display technology cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra
convenience afforded by Dynamic Road Sign Display tempt you into taking any risks when
driving, as this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog can cause road signs to be not displayed
or be incorrectly displayed by the system.
•If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the Dynamic
Road Sign Display system may be impaired.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign
Display system may differ from the current traffic situation.
•Not all road signs can be recognised by the system and displayed correctly.
•Road signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and
displays provided by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.
WARNING
Availability of the Dynamic Road Sign Display system is restricted in
waypoint navigation mode (waypoint navigation) of the Infotainment system.
NOTICE

Performance monitor
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The performance monitor is a display
for sporty driving. The digital
instruments display real-time values for
engine power, temperature and
acceleration that are determined by
sensors on the vehicle. This provides
the driver with an overview of driving
dynamics.

Display areas.
Arrow buttons for changing to the lap timer.
Opening the performance monitor
•Press the MENU button on the Infotainment system.
•Touch the Vehicle function button.
•Touch the Selection function button.
•Touch the Sport function button.
If you would like to switch between the performance monitor and the lap timer ⇒ Lap timer, touch
one of the arrow buttons on the left and right above the instruments ⇒ Fig. 27②.
Selecting instruments and setting units
The display can show a maximum of three instruments at the same time. Each instrument can be
selected for each display area ⇒ Fig. 27① (left, middle, right).
To change instruments, swipe vertically over the display. The currently selected instrument will then
disappear and a new instrument will appear.
The units can be adjusted for some instruments in the Infotainment system ⇒ Operation and 
display in the Infotainment system.
The following instruments can be displayed:
•Charge pressure display: the charge pressure display ⇒ Fig. 27① (left) shows the pressure
in the charge air system between the turbocharger and engine (in the unit bar). The further to
the right the needle on the scale, the higher the engine power output.
•Accelerometer (G-meter): The accelerometer (G-meter) ⇒ Fig. 27① (centre) shows the
acceleration value in the centre (in the unit g). The red marking in the grid-type area shows the
acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of
the instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake,
the red marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red
marking which moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away
from the centre area.
•Power display: the power display ⇒ Fig. 27① (right) shows the current engine power output
as a digital value and on the surrounding scale (in kW).
•Coolant temperature display: the needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high
engine loads and with high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Coolant temperature 
display.
•Oil temperature display: the needle is in the middle area under normal driving conditions. If
the needle is in the bottom left area, this means that the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid excessively high speeds and acceleration when the engine has
not yet reached its operating temperature. The needle may move further in a clockwise direction
under high engine loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless
the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Engine oil.
