Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions.
With some indicator lights, messages may ap-
pear and warning signals may sound. The indica-
tor lights and messages may be covered by other
displays. To show them again, select the second
tab for messages with the multifunction steering
wheel © page 12.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.
Some indicator lights turn on briefly as a function
check when you switch the ignition on. These sys-
tems are marked with a V in the following tables.
If one of these indicator lights does not turn on,
there is a malfunction in that system.

@:
—Time and date > page 171
— Average consumption
— Short-term memory overview
— Long-term memory overview
— Energy consumers > page 15
— Driver assistance
— Traffic sign recognition
The short-term memory collects driving informa-
tion from the time the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off. If you continue driving within
two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur-
rent trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Energy consumers*
The Energy consumers view lists other equip-
ment that is currently affecting fuel consump-
tion. The display shows up to three equipment
items. The equipment using the most power is
listed first. If more than three items using power
are switched on, the equipment that is currently
using the most power is displayed. A chart also
shows you the current total of all other consum-
ers.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown using
a bar graph. The average consumption stored in
the short-term memory is also displayed. If the
bar is green, your vehicle is saving fuel through
one of the following functions:
— Recuperation: electrical energy can be stored in
the battery when the vehicle is coasting or driv-
ing downhill. The bar will move toward (1.

Press both of the outer buttons on the con-
trol unit > page 30, fig. 25 until the yellow
LED (2) turns off and the green LED @ blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does not need to
be repeated again to program the other but-
tons.
Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
Wait until the yellow LED (2) blinks. The pro-
gramming mode is active for five minutes.

five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess-
ful. Repeat the programming procedure
starting from the third step or change the
distance to the radiator grille.
If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the HomeLink buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform rolling
code programming > page 31.
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.

Z\ WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim-
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electrolyte
fluid can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
— Repeated or long-term exposure to electro-
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air-
ways, especially in people with asthma or
other respiratory conditions. Take deep
breaths immediately after leaving the vehi-
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the
doors
and windows as wide as possible.
— If electrolyte fluid enters the eyes, flush
them thoroughly with a large amount of
clean water for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical attention.
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and then clean
with soap and water and seek medical atten-
tion. Clean affected clothing and shoes thor-
oughly before wearing again.
— If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
conscious, flush the mouth with water for at
least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting
unless this is recommended by medical pro-
fessionals. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately.

— The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver may still be responsi-
ble for manually switching the wipers on
based on visibility conditions.
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Unfavorable conditions, such as wetness,
darkness, and when the sun is low, can
cause increased glare, which increases the
risk of an accident. Wiper blade chatter is al-
so possible.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 44, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
() Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing
a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.

ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
—The washer fluid nozzles in the windshield
washer system are heated* at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is on.
—When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.
