Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle
breaking down in traffic, and can cause accidents and serious injury.
•Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
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.

centre of the dials ⇒ Fig. 15② depending on the information profile you have selected. The
following information profiles are available:
•Classic. No additional information shown.
•Consumption and range. Current consumption is shown graphically and average consumption
is shown digitally in the rev counter. The remaining range is shown digitally in the speedometer.
•Efficiency. Average consumption is shown digitally and current consumption is shown
graphically in the rev counter. In the speedometer, the symbol is shown if the current
driving style is fuel-efficient, and a graphic display helps the driver save fuel.
•Navigation. If route guidance is active: the remaining distance to the set destination and an
estimated time of arrival are shown in the rev counter, and arrows to aid navigation are shown
in the speedometer. If route guidance is inactive: the current altitude is shown in the rev
counter, and a compass is shown in the speedometer.
•Driver assistance. Graphic representation of various driver assist systems, or digital display of
the driving time in the rev counter. The speedometer meanwhile shows arrow navigation or a
compass.

Navigation map in the Active Info Display
With some vehicle equipment levels, the Active Info Display is able to display a detailed map. To
display this map, select the Navigation menu item in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster 
menus.
The map can be shown in either of two sizes. If the larger version is selected, the Active Info
Display dials will be smaller. To select the preferred map size:
•Press the button on the multifunction steering wheel ⇒ Instrument cluster menus to
switch between map sizes as required.
•OR: press the or arrow button on the multifunction steering wheel to select the
required map size. A frame appears around the selected option.
•Confirm the selection by pressing the button on the multifunction steering wheel.
Depending on the equipment level, navigation is shown on two displays or only one. The navigation
map be displayed on the Active Info Display and Infotainment system or only on the Infotainment
system display. In the latter case, only navigation arrows are shown on the Active Info Display.
Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.

Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaksyf
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The Driver Alert System informs the
driver if their driving shows signs of
tiredness.
Fig. 18 On the instrument cluster display: Driver Alert System.
Function and operation
The Driver Alert System determines the driving behaviour at the beginning of a journey and uses it
to evaluate the tiredness of the driver. This is compared to the behaviour of the driver while actually
driving. If the system detects that the driver may be tired, an acoustic warning signal will sound and
a message will appear in the instrument cluster display ⇒ Fig. 18. The message in the instrument
cluster display is displayed for about five seconds and may be repeated once. The last displayed
message is saved by the system.
The message on the instrument cluster display can be switched off by pressing the
button on the wiper lever or the button on the multifunction steering
wheel ⇒ Instrument cluster operation. The message can be displayed again on the instrument
cluster display using the multifunction display ⇒ Warning and information messages.
Functional limitations
The driving behaviour can be evaluated only when the speed is above 60 km/h (37 mphyfXSWR
approximately 200 km/h (125 mphyf.
1yf
2yf

Switching on and off
The Driver Alert System can be activated or deactivated using the button or function
button and the Vehicle, and Driver assistance function buttons in the
Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
Function limitations
The Driver Alert System has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the
function of the Driver Alert System, or prevent it from working altogether:
•Speeds less than 60 km/h (37 mphyf.
•Speeds of more than 200 km/h (125 mphyf.
•Roads with bends.
•Poor roads.
•Adverse weather conditions.
•Sporty driving style.
•Towing a heavy/long trailer.
•The driver is distracted.
The Driver Alert System is reset in the following situations:
•The ignition is switched off.
•The driver seat belt is unfastened and the driver door is open.
•The vehicle has been stationary for longer than 15 minutes.
The Driver Alert System is automatically reset in case of long slow drives (speed less than 60 km/h
(37 mphyf\f. If the speed is increased, the system evaluates the driving behaviour again.
The Driver Alert System has been developed for use only while driving on highways and
good roads.
If there is a system fault, proceed to a qualified workshop immediately to have the system
checked.
Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assistyf
Fig. 19 On the instrument cluster display: examples of recognised speed limits or overtaking
restrictions with accompanying additional signs.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard
road signs in front of the vehicle and notifies the driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking
restrictions. Within the limits of the system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g.
temporary restrictions, signs related to towing a trailer ⇒ Trailer towing or restrictions in wet
weather conditions. In some cases the system can also display the current speed limits on non-
signposted routes.
The intelligent technology used in the Driver Alert System cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra
convenience afforded by the Driver Alert System tempt you into taking any risks when
driving – this can cause accidents. During a long trip, plan regular and sufficient breaks.
•The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.
•Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.
•The system cannot always detect the driver's level of alertness. Observe the
information in the section Function limitations ⇒ Function limitations.
•In certain situations, the system may wrongly interpret intentional driving manoeuvres
as a lack of alertness from the driver.
•No urgent warning will be given in the event of the phenomenon known as microsleep.
•Follow the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the
commands.
