Selecting instruments and setting units
The display can show a maximum of three instruments at the same time. Each instrument can be
selected for each display area ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (left, middle, right).
To change between instruments, swipe vertically over the display. The currently selected instrument
will then disappear and a new instrument will appear.
The units can be adjusted for some instruments in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings
menu .
The following instruments can be displayed:
Charge pressure display: the charge pressure display ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (left) shows the pressure in the
charge air system between the turbocharger and engine (in the unit bar). The further to the right the
needle on the scale, the higher the engine power output.
Accelerometer (G-meter): the accelerometer (G-meter) ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (centre) shows the
acceleration value in the centre (in the unit g). The red marking in the grid-type area shows the
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.
Power display: the power display ⇒ Fig. 23  ① (right) shows the current engine power output as a
digital value and on the surrounding scale (in kW).
Coolant temperature display: the needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high
engine loads and with high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Coolant temperature display .
Oil temperature display: the needle is in the middle area under normal driving conditions. If the
needle is in the bottom left area, this means that the engine has not yet reached its operating
temperature. Avoid excessively high speeds and acceleration when the engine has not yet reached

its operating temperature. The needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high engine
loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Engine oil .
Adapting the display areas to the driving situation
Choose the three possible instruments corresponding to your individual driving style and the driving
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⇒Introduction 
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.

Fig. 24 On the Infotainment system display: lap timer with stopwatch, function button and lap times.

Never attach any objects, such as drink or telephone holders, to the covers of the airbags or
anywhere in the airbag deployment zone.
No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front seats and
the airbag deployment zone. Make sure that children and passengers also keep to this rule.
Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile navigation devices, to the windscreen above the front airbag
on the front passenger side.
Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of the airbag unit
on the front passenger side, and do not obstruct or modify them in any way.

WARNING
The front airbags are deployed in front of the steering wheel ⇒ Fig. 40  and dash panel⇒ Fig. 41 .
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the outside of the rim at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the
steering wheel. Contact a qualified workshop if your physical build makes this impracticable.
Adjust the front passenger seat so that the distance between the front passenger and the dash panel
is as large as possible.

passenger seat.
Enabling the front passenger front airbag

NOTICE
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.

Troubleshooting
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Boot lid cannot be opened or closed
Check whether the boot lid is blocked by an obstacle. The boot lid can be moved by hand. You will
need to use increased force for this.
The drive switches off automatically in order to prevent overheating if the boot lid is operated too
frequently in a short space of time. Until the drive has cooled down, the boot lid can be opened and
closed by hand using more force than usual.
When you tow a trailer, the electrical boot lid can only be opened and closed on the boot lid
⇒ Trailer towing .
The boot lid must be closed by hand if the 12-volt vehicle battery or fuse is disconnected or faulty.
All turn signals flash four times
The vehicle key used last is still in the vehicle.
Boot lid is stiff
At outside temperatures below freezing point, the opening mechanism cannot always lift the
partially opened boot lid automatically. In this case, guide the boot lid further up by hand.
Windows

Fig. 68 On the steering wheel: 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position.
Adjust the steering wheel position before setting off and only when the vehicle is stationary ⇒ .
Push down the lever ⇒ Fig. 67① .
Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold it with both hands at its circumference at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions with your arms slightly bent ⇒ Fig. 68 .
Push the lever up firmly until it is flush with the steering column trim ⇒ .

WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the steering
wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.
After adjusting the steering column, always move lever ⇒ Fig. 67①  up so that it engages securely.
This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle is in motion.
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a readjustment
is necessary when driving, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the correct
position.
The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This ensures that
the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an accident.
While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions⇒ Fig. 68 . This reduces the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is triggered.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. at the hub of
the steering wheel. If the driver front airbag is triggered, you could sustain serious injuries to the
arms, hands and head.
