G meter
The G meter displays the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration. The current values are displayed in
the instrument cluster while driving. The maxi-
mum values that are reached are stored and dis-
played when the vehicle is stationary. Only the
maximum values that are reached are displayed
in the MMI.
> To reset the stored values, press and hold the
left thumbwheel on the multifunction steering
wheel for one second.
Tire pressure
The tire pressure monitoring system displays the
current tire pressures and temperatures. Also see
= page 276, Tire pressure monitoring system.
Engine data
The engine data in the instrument cluster shows
which percentage of the maximum output or
maximum torque is currently being used.
Temperature
The temperature display in the MMI shows the
temperature of various fluids and vehicle compo-
nents, such as the engine oil or sport differential.
Inclinometer
The inclinometer in the MMI shows the sideways
and lengthwise angle of the vehicle in relation to
the horizon. It shows both the current values and
the maximum values that were reached

two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values will be included when calculating the
current trip information.
Unlike the short-term memory, the long-term
memory is not erased automatically. You can se-
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa-
tion yourself.
Average consumption
