Display areas.
Arrow buttons for changing to the lap timer.
Opening the performance monitor
Press the MENU button or function button on the Infotainment system.
Touch the Vehicle function button.
Touch the Selection function button.
Touch the Sport function button.
If you would like to switch between the performance monitor and the lap timer ⇒ Lap timer , touch
one of the arrow buttons on the left and right above the instruments ⇒ Fig. 23 ②.
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

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.

Safety

The shoulder part of the seat belt must always lie on the centre of the shoulder, never across the
neck, over or under the arm or behind the back.
The lap part of the seat belt must always lie across the pelvis, never across the stomach.
The seat belt must always lie flat and snugly on the body. Tighten the belt slightly if necessary.
For pregnant women, the seat belt must be positioned evenly over the chest and as low as possible
over the pelvis. It must also lie flat so that no pressure is exerted on the abdomen – this applies in
every stage of pregnancy ⇒ Fig. 37 .
Adjusting seat belt routing to body size
The following equipment can be used to adjust the seat belt routing:
Seat belt height adjuster for the front seats ⇒ Seat belt height adjuster .
Height-adjustable front seats ⇒ Sitting position .
WARNING
Incorrect seat belt routing can cause severe injuries in the event of an accident or a sudden braking
or driving manoeuvre.
The seat belts offer best protection only when the backrests are in an upright position and the seat
belts have been fastened properly.
The seat belt itself or a loose seat belt can cause serious injuries if the seat belt shifts from harder
body parts in the direction of softer body parts (e.g. stomach).
The shoulder part of the seat belt must lie on the centre of the shoulder and never under the arm or
across the neck.
The seat belt must lie flat and snugly on the upper body.
The lap part of the seat belt must lie across the pelvis and never across the stomach. The seat belt
must lie flat and snugly on the pelvis. Tighten the belt slightly if necessary.
For pregnant women, the lap part of the seat belt must be as low as possible over the pelvis and lie
flat around the round stomach.
Do not twist the belt webbing while the seat belt is being worn.
Never hold the seat belt away from the body by hand.
The belt webbing should not lie over hard or fragile objects, such as glasses, pens or keys.
Never use seat belt clips, retaining rings or similar items to alter the seat belt routing.
If a person's physical build prevents them from routing the seat belt properly, contact a qualified
workshop to find out about any special modifications so that the seat belts and airbags can provide

Fine dust particles or steam may be released when the airbags trigger. This is normal and does not
mean there is a fire in the vehicle.
The fine dust can cause irritation to the skin and eye membranes as well as cause breathing
difficulties, particularly for those people suffering from asthma or other respiratory health problems.
In order to reduce breathing difficulties, get out of the vehicle or open the windows or doors in
order to breathe fresh air.
If you should come into contact with the dust, you should wash your hands and face with a mild
soap and water before eating.
Do not rub the dust into your eyes or into open wounds.
If dust has entered your eyes, rinse them with water.
WARNING
Cleaning agents that contain solvents cause the surface of the airbag modules to become porous. In
an accident that triggers the airbag, loose plastic parts can cause serious injury.
Never clean the dash panel or the airbag covers with cleaning agents that contain solvents.
