The vehicle is equipped either with an analogue or a digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display).
When you start the engine after the 12-volt battery has been totally discharged or changed, you may
find that system settings (time, date, personal convenience settings and programming) have been
changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery has
been sufficiently charged.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
Never press the buttons on the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.
Any settings for the instrument cluster display and displays in the Infotainment system should be
made only when the vehicle is stationary in order to reduce the risk of accidents and serious injuries.
