Indicator lights overview
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal-
functions. Some warning and indicator lights
turn on when you switch the ignition on and must
turn off when the drive system is switched on or
while driving.
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 72.
Some indicator lights in the display can display in
several colors.
OMe ile Lins
If the A or A indicator light turns on, check the
message in the instrument cluster.

Driving


— If the engine must run while you are working
in the engine compartment with the hood
open, make sure a gear is not engaged. The
selector lever must be firmly in the P posi-
tion and locked in place and the parking
brake must be set > page 200. Otherwise,
the vehicle could begin moving when in-
creasing the engine speed, even with the

parking brake set.

() Note
— If you have to stop on an incline, always
press the brake pedal to hold the vehicle in
place to reduce the risk of the vehicle rolling
backward. Do not try to hold the vehicle in
place by pressing and holding the accelera-
tor pedal. The transmission can overheat,
which increases the risk of damage.
— Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped and the selector lever is in the N
position will damage the automatic trans-
mission because it is not lubricated under
those circumstances.
— The transmission can overheat and be dam-
aged under certain driving and traffic condi-
tions such as frequent starts, creeping fora
long time, or stop-and-go traffic. When the
i or os] indicator light turns on, stop the
vehicle at the next opportunity and let the
transmission cool > page 87.
— Allowing the vehicle to roll when the engine
is stopped will damage the S tronic trans-
mission because it is not lubricated
= page 250, Towing.
@® Tips
For safety reasons, the parking brake is re-
leased automatically only when the driver's
safety belt is fastened.
Hill descent control
The hill descent control system assists the driver
when driving down hills.
Hill descent control is activated when the selec-
tor lever is in the "D" or "S" position and you
press the brake pedal. The transmission auto-

matically selects a gear that is suitable for the
hill. Hill descent control tries to maintain the
speed that was selected at the time of braking,
within physical and technical limitations. If may
still be necessary to adjust the speed with the
brakes. Because hill descent control cannot shift
down farther than 3rd gear, it may be necessary
to shift into tiptronic mode in very steep areas. In
this case, shift manually into 1st or 2nd gear in
tiptronic mode to use the engine's braking force
to relieve the brakes.
Hill descent control switches off once the hill lev-
els
out or if you press the accelerator pedal.
On vehicles with a cruise control system*
= page 89, hill descent control is also activated
when the speed is set.

ZA\ WARNING
Hill descent control may not be able to main-
tain a constant speed under all conditions. Al-
ways be ready to apply the brakes.
Shifting manually (tiptronic mode)
The tiptronic mode allows the driver to shift the
gears manually.

Assist systems

Assist systems
Speed warning system
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps the driver to
stay below a specified maximum speed. A warn-
ing threshold can be set in the Infotainment sys-
tem for this purpose.
Once the speed slightly exceeds the stored
threshold, the speed warning system will alert
the driver with an indicator in the instrument
cluster and a warning tone. Once the speed drops
below the stored maximum speed, the indicator
will turn off.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener-
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
@) Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are adhering
to the legal speed limit.
Setting the warning threshold
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system

> Select in the Infotainment system: [MENU] but-
ton > Vehicle > left control button > Driver as-
sistance > Speed warning > Manual.
Messages
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
ol Manually set speed limit XX mph
(km/h) exceeded

The stored speed was exceeded.
Cruise control system
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed above approxi-
mately 15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains
the desired speed by braking and accelerating.

ZA WARNING
— Always pay attention to the traffic around
your vehicle when the cruise control system
is in operation. As the driver, you are always
responsible for controlling your vehicle
speed and the distance between your vehicle
and
other vehicles.
— For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads, and when road conditions
are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain,
and conditions that could lead to hydroplan-
ing), because this increases the risk of an ac-
cident.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, you should
only resume the stored speed if it is suitable
for the current traffic conditions.
@) Note
Before driving downhill a long distance ona
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear. This makes use of the engine
braking effect and reduces the load placed on
the brakes.
@) Tips
The brake lights turn on when the brakes are
applied automatically.

in small increments, tap the lever up to the
first level toward @/C) > page 90, fig. 94.
> To increase or decrease the cruise control speed
in larger increments, tap the lever up to the
second level toward @)/C).
> To increase or decrease the cruise control speed
continuously, tap and hold the lever at the first
or second level toward (+)/G).
Overriding or deactivating the cruise
control speed
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system

You can override or deactivate the cruise control
system. When you deactivate the system, your
cruise control speed will be stored and you can
resume that speed.
Requirement: the system must be switched on
and activated.
Overriding
> To temporarily override the cruise control
speed, press the accelerator pedal.
> Once you release the accelerator pedal, the sys-
tem will adjust back to the stored cruise control
speed.
If you override the cruise control system for a
long period of time, the cruise control system
will be deactivated. The [M4 or RSM indicator
light will be displayed and the cruise control
speed will be saved.
Deactivating
> To deactivate the cruise control speed, press
the lever toward (2) (not locked into place)
=> page 90, fig. 94, or
» Press the brake pedal.

ZA WARNING
Resting your foot on the accelerator pedal
could override the cruise control. This will pre-
vent braking interventions by the system.

If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the cruise control system has been de-
activated. There is a temporary malfunction, for
example the brakes are overheating. Switch the
cruise control system on again later.
Lap timer
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with lap timer
You can measure and analyze lap times with the
lap timer in the display. The time is measured in
minutes, seconds and 1/10 seconds. With lap
times longer than 60 minutes, the hour is also
shown and the display of 1/10 seconds is re-
moved.
The time measurement on an individual lap ends
after 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. A new
lap starts automatically after that.
You can control the lap timer using the controls
on the multifunction steering wheel > page 72.

ZA WARNING
Your focus should always be on driving your
vehicle safely. As the driver, you have com-
plete responsibility for safety in traffic. To re-
duce the risk of an accident, only use the lap
timer functions in such a way that you always
maintain complete control over your vehicle in
all traffic situations.


@) Tips
You can retrieve information from the trip
computer while the lap timer stopwatch is
running.
