The display can be changed for
sport mode.
The driving mode will change to

The vehicle messages monitors
vehicle functions and alerts you to
any faults in the monitored sys-
tems.
A vehicle message is displayed as
a combination of indicator or warn-
ing lamps and text messages in the
instrument cluster and, if applica-
ble, in the Head-Up Display.
If applicable, the text message
shown in the Control Display is
accompanied by an additional
acoustic signal.Press the button on the turn indica-
tor lever.
Some vehicle messages are dis-
played permanently and remain
until the fault has been repaired. If
there are a number of malfunctions
simultaneously, the messages are
displayed in succession.
The messages can be hidden for
approximately 8 seconds. They are
then displayed again automatically.
Some vehicle messages are auto-
matically hidden after approxi-
mately 20 seconds. The vehicle
messages remain saved and can
be displayed again.

The system is reset approximately
45 minutes after the vehicle is

ABS prevents the wheels from lock-

Steering control is retained even in

The system is interrupted when
reverse gear is engaged or the
transmission is in neutral.
Press the rocker switch repeatedly
upwards or downwards until the
desired speed limit is set.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed to the resistance point,
the speed limit is increased or
decreased by 1 km/h, 1 mph.
Each time the rocker switch is
pressed beyond the resistance
point, the speed limit changes to
the next multiple of 10 km/h on
the km/h display or the next mul-
tiple of 5 mph on the mph display in the speedometer.
If the set speed limit has been
reached or unintentionally
exceeded, for example when driv-
ing downhill, there is no active
brake intervention.
If you set a speed limit while driving
which is below the current speed,
the vehicle coasts down to the set
speed limit.
Vehicles with Speed Limit Assist,
see page 234: a change in the
speed limit detected by Speed Limit
Assist can be adopted for the
Speed Limiter as a new speed limit.
The current speed can also be
stored by pressing the button:
The system gives a warning if the
travelling speed exceeds the set
speed limit.
You can intentionally exceed the
speed limit. There is no warning in
such a case.
To exceed the set speed limit inten-
tionally, fully depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
The limit automatically becomes
active again as soon as the current

Individual wheels are braked to
increase agility for a sporty driving
style. The resulting braking effect is
largely compensated for by a simul-

WARNING
Fragile objects, for example glass
bottles or glasses, can break in the
event of an accident. Shards may
scatter throughout the interior. There
is a danger of injury or damage to
property. Do not use any fragile
objects while driving. Only stow fragile
objects in closed storage compart-
ments.
Cupholder
Safety note
WARNING
Unsuitable containers placed in the
cupholders may damage the cuphold-
ers or be flung into the interior, for
example in the event of an accident or
during braking or evasive manoeu-
vres. Spilt liquids can distract the
driver from the road and lead to an
accident. Hot beverages may damage
the cupholders or cause scalding.
There is a danger of injury or damage
to property. Do not force objects into
the cupholder. Use lightweight, seala-
ble containers that are shatterproof.
Do not transport hot drinks.

WARNING
A high gross vehicle weight can make
the tyres to overheat, causing internal
damage and a sudden loss of tyre
inflation pressure. Handling charac-
teristics can be negatively influenced,
for example reduced directional sta-
bility, longer braking distance and
modified steering characteristics.
There is a danger of accidents.
Please comply with the permitted load
index of the tyre, and do not exceed
the permitted gross vehicle weight.
