NOTICE
x To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.
x To help prevent engine damage, the tachometer needle should only enter the red zone (warning zone) briefly.
Up-shifting early into the next higher gear saves fuel and reduces engine noise.

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 (⇒ Instrument cluster and instrument panel). In some cases, they may also be signaled acoustically. The display can vary depending on the instrument cluster model.

Odometer displays
The odometer indicates the total distance driven by the vehicle.
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
When the ignition and navigation system are switched on, the current compass direction is indicated in
the instrument cluster display ⇒  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.
Speed warning
If you exceed the top speed that has been set, this will be signaled in the instrument cluster display. This feature is useful in various situations, for instance when using winter tires that are not designed for the vehicle's top speed.
The speed warning can be set and switched on and off in the Infotainment System.
x Switch on the ignition.
x Press the CAR Infotainment button.
x Tap the Settings function key on the screen.
x Select Speed warning from the list.
x Place your finger on the touchscreen slider ? and, keeping your finger on the screen, move your finger to slide it to the desired speed setting.
x OR: Tap the - or + function key on the screen to move the slider in steps.
x Tap the Active function key on the screen to switch on the speed warning.
If the check box in the Active function key is checked =, the feature is switched on.
WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury.
x Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
x Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part of the hot cata-lytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
x 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 freez-ing.
x 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” (ice warning) is not displayed, there could still be black ice on the road.
x 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 version. For displays without warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are displayed for several seconds in order of importance. The symbols are displayed until the cause has been corrected.
