=are on:

sage appears in the multi-function display,

WorX button on the
multi-function steering wheel, the messages

road menu (Y
page 102) in the on-board com-
puter, the message disappears after about
five seconds.

level if you are driving at a speed above
115 km/h or if you drive at between
100 km/h and 115 km/h for around 20 sec-
onds. Depending on the ADS basic setting
(Y page 129), the vehicle is lowered to high-
speed level at high speeds. PARKTRONIC*

Risk of injury
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air
vents. This could cause burns or frostbite to
bare skin in the immediate vicinity of the
vents. Keep bare skin away from these air
outlets. If necessary, direct the airflow away
to a different area of the vehicle interior.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R keep the air inlet grille on the bonnet free
of blockage, such as ice, snow or leaves.
R never cover the vents or air inlet and outlet
grilles in the vehicle interior. i
For virtually draught-free ventilation,
adjust the sliders of the air vents to the
centre position.
