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.
CO Tati
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.
The following indicator lights may be available,
depending on the vehicle equipment:

Instrument cluster

outside temperature is around 41 °F (+5 °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.


Fuel level
The display @ > page 10, fig. 3 only works when
the ignition is switched on. When the display has
reached the reserve mark, a red LED turns on and
the i indicator light turns on > page 19.
For
the tank capacity in your vehicle, refer to the
Technical Data > page 290.
@ Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp-
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires. Uncom-
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys-
tem. This can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.

possible commands appears. The command
display can be switched on/off under [MENU] >
Settings > left control button > MMI settings >
Speech dialog system.
— Audio input assistance: to have the possible
commands read, press the [2] button on the
multifunction steering wheel briefly and say
Help.





For the system to understand you:
— Speak clearly and distinctly at a normal volume.
Speak louder when driving faster.
— Emphasize the words in the commands evenly
and do not leave long pauses.
— Do not speak a command when the voice recog-
nition system is making an announcement.
— Close the doors, the windows, and the sunroof*
to reduce background noise. Make sure that
passengers are not speaking when you are giv-
ing a voice command.
104
— Do not direct the vents toward the handsfree
microphone, which is near the front interior
lights on the roof headliner or on the driver's
safety belt*. For additional information on the
safety belt microphone, see > page 122.
— Only use the system from the driver's seat be-
cause the hands-free microphone is directed to-
ward that seat.
Additional settings
See > page 172, Voice recognition system.

ZA\ WARNING
— Direct your full attention to driving. As the
driver, you have complete responsibility for
safety in traffic. Only use the functions in
such a way that you always maintain com-
plete control over your vehicle in all traffic
situations.
— Do not use the voice recognition system in
emergencies because your voice may change
in stressful situations. The system may take
longer to dial the number or may not be
able to dial it at all. Dial the emergency
number manually.

Gi) Tips

ing phone call and will continue if you ig-
nore the call. The dialog ends if you answer
the call.

ther the voice recognition system or the
