108Instruments and controlsEngine oil level monitorThe state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre for a few seconds following
the service information after switching
on the ignition.
A proper state of engine oil level is
confirmed.
If engine oil level is low, T flashes
and warning message is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre.
Depending on the version, D
flashes in the Driver Information
Centre. Confirm engine oil level by
using the oil dipstick and top up
engine oil respectively.
Engine oil 3 213.
A fault of measurement is indicated
by E or a message in the Driver
Information Centre together with
T . Check engine oil level manually
by using the dipstick.
Service display
The service system informs when to
change the engine oil and filter or a
vehicle service is required. Based ondriving conditions, the interval at
which an engine oil and filter change
is required can vary considerably.
Service information 3 259.
A required service due is displayed in the Driver Information Centre forseveral seconds after switching on
the ignition.
If no service is required for the next
1800 miles or more no service
information appears in the display.
If service is required within the next
1800 miles, A illuminates temporary
as reminder. Simultaneously, the
remaining distance or time duration is
indicated for several seconds.
Depending on the version, the
distance travelled since the due date
is indicated in the Driver Information
Centre.
If service is required in less than
600 miles, A flashes and then
illuminates permanently. Remaining distance or time duration is indicated
for several seconds. Simultaneously,
the remaining distance or time
duration is indicated for several
seconds. Depending on the version,the distance travelled since the due
date is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre.
Overdued service is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre which indicates the overdued
distance. A flashes and then
illuminates permanently until service
is executed. Additionally, the control
indicator C or SERVICE

operate as following:
● switch off ignition
● press and hold F, G
or CHECK

278Customer informationDepending on technical equipment
level, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used when necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which is read out,
documents the technical condition of
the vehicle or individual components
and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations
and quality improvement. This data,
in particular information on
component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the
vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also uses operating data
from vehicles for product recalls. This
data can also be used to check
customer warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.Comfort and Infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and custom settingscan be stored in the vehicle and
changed or reset at any time.
Depending on the equipment level in
question, these include
● seat and steering wheel position settings
● chassis and air conditioning settings
● custom settings such as interior lighting
You can input your own data in the
Infotainment functions for your
vehicle as part of the selected
features.
Depending on the equipment level in
question, these include
● multimedia data such as music, videos or photos for playback in
an integrated multimedia system
● address book data for use with an
integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system
