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 .

Fig. 28 On the instrument cluster display: seat belt status for the rear seats.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
A signal tone will sound for a few seconds if the seat belts are not fastened as the vehicle pulls off
and reaches a speed of more than approximately 25 km/h (15 mph), or if the seat belts are
unfastened while the vehicle is in motion. This is accompanied by the flashing warning lamp
⇒ Fig. 27 .
The warning lamp does not go out until the driver and front passenger fasten their seat belts
while the ignition is switched on.
Belt status display for the rear seats
After the ignition has been switched on, the belt status display ⇒ Fig. 28  on the instrument cluster
display shows the driver whether the rear seat passengers have fastened their seat belts. The
symbol indicates that the passenger on this seat has fastened their seat belt. The symbol
indicates that the seat belt has not been fastened.
The belt status display will be shown for approximately 30 seconds if a seat belt is fastened or
unfastened on the rear seats. The display is hidden automatically after 30 seconds.
If a seat belt for one of the rear seats is unfastened while the vehicle is in motion, the belt status
display will flash for a maximum of 30 seconds. If the vehicle is travelling faster than approximately
25 km/h (15 mph), a signal tone will also be given.

WARNING
Incorrectly fastened or unfastened seat belts increase the risk of severe or fatal injuries. Seat belts
will only offer the optimum level of protection when they are fastened and used properly.
Frontal collisions and the laws of physics

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.
