Functional limitations
Dynamic Road Sign Display is subject to system-related limitations. The following conditions can
restrict the function of Dynamic Road Sign Display, or prevent it from working altogether:
•Poor visibility, e.g. snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.
•Dazzling, e.g. from oncoming traffic or sunlight.
•High speeds.
•Covered or dirty camera.
•Traffic signs located outside of the camera's field of view.
•Partially or fully hidden traffic signs, e.g. by trees, snow, dirt or other vehicles.
•Non-standard traffic signs.
•Damaged or bent traffic signs.
•Variable traffic signs on gantries (changeable traffic sign display using LEDs or other light
sourcesyf.
•Out-of-date map material in the Infotainment system.
•Vehicles with traffic sign stickers, e.g. speed restrictions on trucks.
Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can
therefore change automatically when the user account is changed ⇒ Personalisation.

•Release the button. The time is shown in the instrument cluster display and the hour
setting is marked.
•Then press the button repeatedly until the required hour is displayed. Press and hold
the button to scroll through quickly.
The intelligent Dynamic Road Sign Display technology cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra
convenience afforded by Dynamic Road Sign Display tempt you into taking any risks when
driving, as this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog can cause road signs to be not displayed
or be incorrectly displayed by the system.
•If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the Dynamic
Road Sign Display system may be impaired.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign
Display system may differ from the current traffic situation.
•Not all road signs can be recognised by the system and displayed correctly.
•Road signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and
displays provided by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.
WARNING
Availability of the Dynamic Road Sign Display system is restricted in
waypoint navigation mode (waypoint navigationyfRIWKH,QIRWDLQPHQWV\VWHP.
NOTICE

•Once you have set the hour, wait until the minutes display in the instrument cluster is marked.
•Then press the button repeatedly until the required minute is displayed. Press and hold
the button to scroll through quickly.
•Release the button to finish setting the clock.
The analogue clock adjusts itself a few seconds after ignition is switched on.
You can also use the Infotainment system to adjust the time ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
Fuel gauge
Fig. 20 In the instrument cluster: fuel gauge for petrol and diesel.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Fuel gauge
Lit upPossible cause/remedy ⇒
Fuel tank almost empty. Reserve volume, red marking ⇒ Fig. 20, is
consumed ⇒ Fuel tank capacity.
Fill the tank as soon as possible ⇒ Fuel types and refuelling.
Water in fuel in vehicles with a diesel engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed immediately and drive to the nearest qualified
workshop at a medium engine speed and avoiding high engine loading.
OR: if the warning lamp lights up immediately after filling the tank, switch off
the engine and seek expert assistance.
When the indicator lamp lights up, the auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered supplementary
heater switch off automatically ⇒ Auxiliary heater and ventilation.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the
vehicle on which the tank flap is located.
Coolant temperature display
Fig. 21 In the instrument cluster: coolant temperature display (illustrationyf.
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in
traffic, potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
•When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular,
especially when driving up or down hills and inclines.
•The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems will not function if
the engine sputters or stops completely due to a lack of fuel or irregular fuel supply.
•Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel
and breaking down.
WARNING
Do not run the tank empty. Irregular filling periods can cause backfiring and allow unburnt
fuel to enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter could be
damaged as a result!
