Warning and information texts
The status of various vehicle functions and components is monitored
when the ignition is switched on and while driving. Malfunctions are
indicated by red and yellow warning symbols with text messages in
the instrument cluster display (⇒ Warning and indicator lights). In
some cases, they may also be signaled acoustically. The display can
vary depending on the instrument cluster model.

warning
message
Red Symbol flashing or lit – sometimes with
acoustic warnings.

The trip odometer (trip) shows the distance driven since the last time
the trip odometer was reset. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile
(100 meters).
Outside temperature display
At outside temperatures below about +39 °F (+4 °C), a “snowflake
symbol” (icy road warning) appears in the display. The symbol flashes
at first, then stays on until the outside temperature rises above +43 °F
(+6 °C) ⇒ .
When the vehicle is not moving or when you are driving at very low
speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the
actual outside temperature.
The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C).
Compass display (if applicable)
On vehicles equipped with compass display, the current compass
direction is indicated in the instrument cluster display when the igni-
tion and navigation system are switched on ⇒  Compass.
Selector lever positions
The selector lever position is shown both on the side of the selector
lever and in the instrument cluster display. The respective gear may
also be shown in the instrument cluster display in Drive D and Sport
Drive S, as well as in Tiptronic® mode.
Gear recommendation (manual transmission)
When the vehicle is moving, a fuel economy gear recommendation
may appear in the instrument cluster display ⇒  Shifting.

WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-
sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result
in a collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and
where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system
can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehi-
cle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
WARNING
Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside
air temperature is above freezing.
If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about
frost conditions, remember that roads can even ice over at
temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if
the “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) is not displayed,
there could still be black ice on the road.
Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary
depending on the vehicle model and engine. For displays without
warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled
with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are dis-
played for several seconds in order of importance. The symbols are
displayed until the cause has been corrected.
