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

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

acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of the
instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake, the red
marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red marking which
moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away from the centre area.

situation.
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the Infotainment system can
distract you from the road.
Always drive carefully and responsibly.
NOTICE
When starting from cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading the
engine.
Due to the principle of performance determination used in the vehicle, the physical accuracy of the
displayed values is not guaranteed.
Lap timer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The lap timer provides you with the option of timing your own laps manually in the vehicle on a race
track, storing the times and comparing them with previously measured best times.

When pushing the vehicle by hand, do not press on the tail light clusters, the rear spoiler or large
panels. This could damage the vehicle and the rear spoiler could become detached.
The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the hazard warning lights are left on over a long period of
time even when the ignition is switched off.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the brake lights flash rapidly if you brake sharply or initiate full
braking at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50 mph). This is a particularly effective way of attracting
the attention of vehicles behind you. If you then continue to brake, the hazard warning lights will be
switched on automatically at speeds under approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). Once you start to
accelerate, the hazard warning lights will switch off again automatically.
