Instrument cluster
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Analogue instrument cluster
⇒ Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display)
⇒ Head-up Display
⇒ Displays
⇒ Instrument cluster menus
⇒ Driving data display (multifunction display)
⇒ Warning and information messages
⇒ Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaks)
⇒ Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assist)
⇒ Time
⇒ Fuel gauge
⇒ Coolant temperature display
⇒ Service interval display
The vehicle is equipped either with an analogue or a digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display).
When you start the engine after the 12-volt battery has been totally discharged or changed, you
may find that system settings (time, date, personal convenience settings and programming) have
been changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle
battery has been sufficiently charged.

Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in traffic, and can cause accidents and serious injury.
•Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
•Never press the buttons on the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.
•Any settings for the instrument cluster display and displays in the Infotainment system
should be made only when the vehicle is stationary in order to reduce the risk of
accidents and serious injuries.

Open doors, bonnet and boot lid
The instrument cluster display indicates if any doors, the bonnet or boot lid are open once the
vehicle has been unlocked, and while the vehicle is in motion. In some cases, a signal tone is also
given. Different instrument cluster designs will have different displays.
Selector lever positions (DSG dual clutch gearbox)
The gear selected is displayed on the side of the selector lever and on the display in the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster display may show which gear has been selected if the selector lever
is in D/S position or in Tiptronic mode ⇒ DSG dual clutch gearbox.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below approximately +4°C (+39°F), the temperature display also
shows a snowflake symbol . This symbol remains lit up until the outside temperature rises
above +6°C (+43°F) ⇒.
Heat radiated from the engine may cause the temperature display to show a slightly higher value
than the actual outside temperature if the vehicle is stationary, the auxiliary heater ⇒ Auxiliary 
heater and ventilation is switched on or the vehicle is travelling at a very low vehicle speed.
The measuring range lies between -45°C (-49°F) and +76°C (+169°F).
Gear-change indicator
When driving in Tiptronic mode, the instrument cluster display may recommend a gear to save fuel
⇒ Gear-change indicator.
Mileage displays
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset.
•To reset the trip recorder to 0, briefly press the button in the instrument cluster
⇒ Analogue instrument cluster or ⇒ Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display).
Speed warning for winter tyres
A display in the instrument cluster indicates when the set maximum speed has been exceeded
⇒ Instrument cluster menus.
You can adjust the settings for the speed warning in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings 
menu.
Compass display
If the ignition is switched on, depending on the equipment level, the instrument cluster display
shows the current direction of travel in the form of an abbreviation, e.g. NW for north west.
The graphic compass display is also shown when the Infotainment system is switched on and route
guidance is not active.

Adapting the display areas to the driving situation
Choose the three possible instruments corresponding to your individual driving style and the driving
situation.
Due to the principle of performance determination available in the vehicle, the physical
accuracy of the displayed values is not guaranteed.
Lap timer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The lap timer provides you with the
option of timing your own laps manually
in the vehicle on a race track, storing
the times and comparing them with
previously measured best times.

Measuring lap times
The stopwatch measures the lap time in two areas:
The red needle and the numerical value in the centre show the running time in seconds. The
smaller display in the inner area shows minutes and hours.
The display on the right side shows the current lap time with an accuracy of 1/100 seconds. There
is no difference between the stopwatch and lap times if there are not yet any laps with intermediate
times stored in the lap timer.

further time measurement.
Avoid operating the lap timer when the vehicle is in motion if possible.
•Preset lap timer settings and access statistics only when the vehicle is stationary.
•When the vehicle is in motion, use the lap timer only in driving situations which are
easy to control.
WARNING

Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and on a suitable surface .
Switch on the hazard warning lights using the button Centre console.
Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.
Move the gear lever to neutral position or move the selector lever to P, Manual gearbox:
selecting a gear and DSG® dual clutch gearbox.
Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition Starting and stopping the engine.
Ensure that all occupants exit the vehicle and go straight to a safe place away from
moving traffic, e.g. behind the safety barrier. Heed the country-specific regulations
concerning high-visibility waistcoats.
Take all vehicle keys with you when you leave the vehicle.
Place the warning triangle in position to draw the attention of other road users to your
vehicle.
Allow the engine to cool down and seek expert assistance.
Making you and your vehicle safe
Observe any legislation concerning the safety of a broken-down vehicle. For example, many
countries stipulate that you have to switch on the hazard warning lights and wear a high-visibility
vest ⇒ Equipment for an emergency.
Checklist
To ensure your own safety and that of your passengers, observe the following actions in the
specified order ⇒:
When the hazard warning lights are switched on, for example if you are being towed, you can still
indicate a change in direction or lane change by operating the turn signal. The warning lights will be
interrupted temporarily.
Examples of when to switch on the hazard warning lights:
•When traffic ahead suddenly starts moving more slowly or you reach the tail end of a traffic jam,
to will warn vehicles behind you.
•When there is an emergency.
•When the vehicle breaks down.
•When tow-starting or towing.
Always follow local regulations for the use of the hazard warning lights.
If the hazard warning lights are not working, you must use an alternative method of drawing
attention to the broken-down vehicle. This method must comply with traffic legislation.
Any broken-down vehicle poses a high accident risk for the vehicle occupants and for
other road users.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
•Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic.
•Switch on the hazard warning lights.
•Never leave other persons alone in the vehicle, particularly children or people requiring
assistance. This applies in particular when the doors are locked. People locked in the
vehicle may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures.
WARNING
Ignoring any of the items on this important safety checklist can lead to accidents and
severe injuries.
•Always follow the instructions in the checklist and observe the general safety
procedures.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires and serious
injuries.
•Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any
inflammable material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass, fuel.
WARNING
When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the rear lights, the rear spoiler or large
panels. This could damage the vehicle and loosen the spoiler.
