instead of warning lamps.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Analogue instrument cluster
Rev counter
Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display)
Displays
Instrument cluster menus
Service menu
Driving data display (multifunction display)
Warning and information messages
Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaks)
Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assist)

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.

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.

Rev counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
Rev counter
The start of the red zone on the rev counter indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used
in each gear when the engine is warm and after it has been run in properly. You should change up a
gear or move the selector lever to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) before the needle
reaches the red zone

When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the
engine.
The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may
otherwise be incurred.

Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.

Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The Active Info Display is a digital instrument cluster with high-resolution TFT colour display. To
complement the standard dials such as the rev counter and speedometer, users can choose from
various "information profiles" to view additional data.

The instrument cluster display indicates if any doors, the engine compartment 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 may have different displays.
