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.
High speeds.
Covered or dirty camera.
Road signs that are located outside of the camera's field of view.

The following list shows an example of how the menus in the instrument cluster display are
structured. The actual scope of the menus and the names of the individual menu options vary
according to the instrument cluster design and the vehicle electronics.

99 laps or the maximum time of 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds has been reached, a new
timing can only be started after the statistics have been reset.
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
Make lap timer settings and access statistics only when the vehicle is stationary.
Fuel gauge
Fig. 15 Fuel gauge in the analogue instrument cluster.
Fig. 16 Fuel gauge in the Active Info Display.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Fuel tank almost empty.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The reserve volume, red marking, is being consumed
Fill the tank as soon as possible.
Water in the diesel fuel.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Switch off the engine and seek expert assistance.
Tank cap open.
The indicator lamp lights up yellow.
Close the tank cap.
RNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic,
potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when
driving up or down hills and inclines.
The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine sputters
or goes off due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.
Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking
down.
NOTICE
Do not run the tank empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to
enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or particulate filter could be damaged as a result.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle
on which the tank flap is located.
Coolant temperature display

Service interval display
Fig. 19 In the instrument cluster display: display example for a due service event (illustration).
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The service event displays are shown on the instrument cluster Fig. 19and in the Infotainment
system.
Versions and displays can vary as different versions of the instrument cluster and Infotainment
system are available.
In vehicles with fixed oil change service, services take place at predefined service intervals.
Technical progress has made it possible to considerably reduce servicing requirements. An oil change
service must only be carried out when required by the vehicle. The individual conditions in which the
vehicle is used and the driver's personal driving style are taken into account. The service reminder is
displayed 30 days before the service is due. The distance is rounded to the nearest 100 km and the
remaining time is rounded to full days.
Service alert
If a service or inspection is due soon, a service alert will appear the next time the ignition is switched
on.
The number of kilometres or amount of time shown correspond to the maximum number of
kilometres or maximum time that can still be driven before the next service.
Service event
In the event of a due service or a due inspection, a signal tone will be given when the ignition is
switched on and the spanner symbol will be displayed for several seconds on the instrument
cluster display. One of the following displays will also appear Fig. 19
Inspection now!
Oil service now!

The service interval display can be reset only via the Service menu Service menu
Do not reset the service interval display between service intervals otherwise incorrect data will be
shown.
If the oil change service was manually reset, the service interval display then also changes to a fixed
service interval in vehicles with flexible oil change service.
The service message will disappear after a few seconds when the engine is running, or when the
button on the wiper lever or the button on the multifunction steering wheel is pressed
Operating the instrum
If the 12-volt vehicle battery was disconnected for long periods in vehicles with flexible service, the
system cannot calculate the time at which the next service is due. The information shown in the
service interval display may therefore be incorrect. In this case, please observe the maximum
permissible service intervals Service
