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

Measuring lap times
The stopwatch measures the lap time in two areas:
The red needle and the numerical value in the centre show the running time in seconds. The smaller
display in the inner area shows minutes and hours.
The display on the right side shows the current lap time with an accuracy of 1/100 seconds. There is
no difference between the stopwatch and lap times if there are not yet any laps with split times
stored in the lap timer.

WARNING
Avoid operating the lap timer when the vehicle is in motion if possible.
Make lap timer settings and access statistics only when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, use the lap timer only in driving situations which are easy to control.
Personalisation
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The personalisation function allows personalised vehicle settings, such as air conditioning system,
instrument cluster or lighting settings, to be saved in a user account. Four user accounts are
available. Users are identified by the vehicle keys upon unlocking the vehicle. A user account is
assigned to each vehicle key.
Changes to the settings will be assigned to the active user account and saved upon locking the
vehicle or changing the user account.
Welcome and user account selection
When personalisation is activated, the name of the current user account appears on the instrument
cluster display for approximately ten seconds after you switch on the ignition.
During this time, you can select a user account using the buttons on the wiper lever or multifunction
steering wheel ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .

When you select a user account, the saved vehicle settings are activated.
User management and settings
When the ignition is switched on, you can use the Personalisation menu in the Infotainment system
for user management and to make settings. The menu can be accessed via the vehicle settings in the
Infotainment system.

Safety

Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could become trapped
in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves to safety. For example, locked
vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low temperatures depending on the season. This can
cause serious injuries and illness or fatalities, especially in the case of small children.
Never switch off the ignition while the vehicle is in motion. The steering column lock or steering lock
mechanism may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the vehicle.

NOTICE
Every electric vehicle key contains electronic components. Protect the key from damage, moisture
and excessive vibration.

DANGER
Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm or other button cells can result in serious or even
fatal injuries within a very short period of time.

Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. The windows can still be
opened or closed using the buttons for a short time after the ignition has been switched off,
provided the driver door and the front passenger door are not opened.
When transporting children on the rear bench seat, the rear electric windows should always be
deactivated using the safety button so that they cannot be opened or closed.

NOTICE
If windows are open when it starts to rain, water can soak the interior equipment of the vehicle and
cause damage to the vehicle.

One-touch opening and closing and the roll-back function will not work if there is a malfunction in
the electric windows. Go to a qualified workshop.

Convenience opening and closing only works when one-touch opening and closing is activated for all
electric windows.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts for personalisation and therefore change
automatically when the user account is changed ⇒ Personalisation .
Electric window roll-back function
The roll-back function for the electric windows can reduce the risk of injuries when the windows are
closing.
If the window is not able to close because it is stiff or because of an obstruction, the window will
immediately open again ⇒ .
Check to see why the window has not closed.
Try to close the window again.
If the window closing process is interrupted again, the roll-back function will be disabled for a few
seconds.
If the window still cannot close, it will come to a stop at this point. To close the window without the
roll-back function, press the button again within a few seconds ⇒ .

WARNING
Closing the electric windows without the roll-back function can lead to serious injuries.
Always close the window carefully.

WARNING
Incorrect use of turn signals, a failure to use turn signals, or forgetting to switch off a turn signal can
confuse other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Always activate the turn signal in good time when changing lanes and performing overtaking or
turning manoeuvres.
Always switch off the turn signal once the lane change or overtaking or turning manoeuvre has been
completed.

The hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off ⇒ In an emergency .

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation .
