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 split times 
stored in the lap timer. 
 
WARNING 
Avoid operating the lap timer when the vehicle is in motion if possible. 
Make 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. 
Personalisation 
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The personalisation function allows personalised vehicle settings, such as air conditioning system, 
instrument cluster or lighting settings, to be saved in a user account. Four user accounts are 
available. Users are identified by the vehicle keys upon unlocking the vehicle. A user account is 
assigned to each vehicle key. 
Changes to the settings will be assigned to the active user account and saved upon locking the 
vehicle or changing the user account. 
Welcome and user account selection 
When personalisation is activated, the name of the current user account appears on the instrument 
cluster display for approximately ten seconds after you switch on the ignition. 
During this time, you can select a user account using the buttons on the wiper lever or multifunction 
steering wheel Infotainment system controls and displays  

 
User management and settings 
When the ignition is switched on, you can use the Personalisation menu in the Infotainment system 
for user management and to make settings. The menu can be accessed via the vehicle settings in the 
Infotainment system. 
Changing the user account 
You can select the user account either via the Personalisation menu or via the Vehicle status menu. 
Manually assigning vehicle keys to user accounts 
You can assign a vehicle key to the currently active user account. For this purpose, select Manual key 
assignment. 
Automatically assigning vehicle keys to user accounts

in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked 
vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can 
cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children. 
Never switch off the ignition while the vehicle is in motion. The steering column lock or steering lock 
mechanism may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.

opened or closed using the buttons for a short time after the ignition has been switched off, 
provided the driver door and the front passenger door are not opened. 
When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always be 
deactivated using the safety button so that they cannot be opened or closed. 
 
NOTICE 
If windows are open when it starts to rain, water can soak the interior equipment of the vehicle and 
cause damage to the vehicle. 
 
One-touch opening and closing and the roll-back function will not work if there is a malfunction in 
the electric windows. Go to a qualified workshop. 
 
Convenience opening and closing only works when one-touch opening and closing is activated for all 
electric windows. 
 
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts for personalisation and therefore change 
automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation 
Electric window roll-back function 
The roll-back function for the electric windows can reduce the risk of injuries when the windows are 
closing. 
If the window is not able to close because it is stiff or because of an obstruction, the window will 
immediately open again  
Check to see why the window has not closed. 
Try to close the window again. 
If the window closing process is interrupted again, the roll-back function will be disabled for a few 
seconds. 
If the window still cannot close, it will come to a stop at this point. To close the window without the 
roll-back function, press the button again within a few seconds  
 
WARNING 
Closing the electric windows without the roll-back function can lead to serious injuries. 
Always close the window carefully.  

WARNING 
Incorrect use of turn signals, a failure to use turn signals, or forgetting to switch off a turn signal can 
confuse other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries. 
Always activate the turn signal in good time when changing lanes and performing overtaking or 
turning manoeuvres. 
Always switch off the turn signal once the lane change or overtaking or turning manoeuvre has been 
completed. 
 
The hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off In an emergency

Daytime running lights 
The daytime running lights (dependent on equipment level) can increase the visibility of your vehicle 
in traffic during the day. 
The daytime running lights are switched on every time the ignition is switched on when the light 
switch is in position  ,  or (when brightness is detected). 
The daytime running lights cannot be switched on or off manually. 
 
WARNING 
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the road is not sufficiently illuminated and other road 
users have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all. 
The light assist systems are designed only to provide support; the driver is responsible for the 
correct vehicle lights being switched on. 
Always switch on the dipped beam headlights if it is dark, raining or visibility is poor. 
 
WARNING 
The side lights or daytime running lights are not bright enough to illuminate the road ahead and to 
ensure that other road users are able to see you. 
Always switch on the dipped beam headlights if it is dark, raining or visibility is poor. 
The tail light clusters are not switched on with the daytime running lights. If the tail light clusters are 
not switched on, the vehicle may not be visible to other road users if it is dark, raining, or if visibility 
is poor. 
 
WARNING 
The automatic headlights ( ) switch dipped beam on and off only when there is a change in 
the level of brightness. 
Switch on dipped beam manually if required by the weather conditions, e.g. in fog. 
  

matic headlights . 
Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from the basic position. 
When main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp  lights up in the instrument cluster 
display. 
Switching off main-beam control 
Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever. 
OR: switch off the automatic headlights . 
OR: switch off the ignition. 
OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam. 
System limits 
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched 
off by the main-beam control in time or at all: 
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs. 
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists. 
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips. 
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the 
central barrier e.g. truck drivers. 
In fog, snow or heavy rain. 
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand. 
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision. 
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice. 
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted. 
 
WARNING 
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks 
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver. 
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light, 
visibility and road traffic. 
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not 
work properly in certain situations. 
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control 
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example 
if additional headlights are fitted.
