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.

 Introduction 
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects: 
Front controls
Air recirculation mode
Seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Troubleshooting
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle 
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works 
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle 
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process. 
Display of activated functions 
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on. 
 
WARNING 
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause 
serious injuries. 
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility. 
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not 
form on the windows. 
Only set off once all windows are clear. 
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation 
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.
