Warning and information messages 
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The system runs a check on certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is 
switched on or while the vehicle is in motion. Malfunctions are indicated by red and yellow warning 
symbols with information messages on the instrument cluster display Symbols in instrument 
cluster
messages and symbols can vary depending on the version of the instrument cluster. 
In addition, a list of current malfunctions can be opened manually. To open the list, select the 
Vehicle status or Vehicle menu Instrument cluster menus 
Priority 1 warning (red)The symbol flashes or lights up (sometimes together with a signal tone). 
Do not drive on! Danger. Check the fault and correct the cause. Seek expert assistance if 
necessary.Priority 2 warning (yellow)The symbol flashes or lights up (sometimes together with a 
signal tone). Malfunctions and insufficient service fluids can damage the vehicle and cause it to 
break down. Check the fault as soon as possible. Seek expert assistance if necessary.Information 
messageInformation about various vehicle procedures and conditions. 
 
With some equipment levels, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment 
system. 
 
If several warnings are present, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The 
symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified. 
 
If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not 
be possible to adjust some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently. 
If this is the case, take the vehicle to a qualified workshop to have the malfunctions rectified.  

 
After validation and evaluation of the information from the camera, the Infotainment system and 
the current vehicle data, the activated Dynamic Road Sign Display shows up to three valid road signs 
Fig. 14 with the accompanying additional signs: 
1st position:The road sign that currently applies for the driver is shown on the left-hand side of the 
display, e.g. a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph) Fig. 14.2nd position:Road signs that do not 
always apply (e.g. 100 km/h (60 mph) in wet) are shown in second place.Additional sign:if the 
windscreen wiper is active while the vehicle is in motion, the now valid road sign with the additional 
In wet sign, for example, will be moved left to the first position.3rd position:Further road signs that 
do not always apply will be displayed in the third position, e.g. overtaking not permitted at certain 
times Fig. 14. 
Speed warning 
If the Dynamic Road Sign Display detects that an applicable speed limit has been exceeded, it can 
issue an acoustic warning signal and display a message on the instrument cluster display. 
The speed warning can be set or completely deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment 
system Vehicle settings menu km/h (3 mph) 
within a range between 0 km/h (mph) and 15 km/h (9 mph) above the permitted maximum speed. 
Trailer mode 
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the 
vehicle, the display of road signs that may apply to the vehicle when towing a trailer, e.g. applicable 
speed limits and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or deactivated in the vehicle settings in the 
Infotainment system 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. 
Function 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. 
Glare, e.g. due to oncoming traffic or sunlight.
