Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all models,
series and optional equipment for your vehi-
cle that were available at the time of going to
press. National variations are possible. Note
that your vehicle may not be equipped with all
of the functions described. This is also the
case for systems and functions relevant to
safety.
i Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops: (Y page 28). Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving whenoperating the on-board computer.
PLUG-IN HYBRID vehicles only: G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or there is a malfunction, you may not know about
safety-related function restrictions. The oper-ating safety of your vehicle may be affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Immediately stop the vehicle while paying
attention to the traffic conditions and consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
All vehicles, except PLUG-IN HYBRID vehi-
cles:
The on-board computer only shows messages or warnings from certain systems in the multifunc-
tion display. You should therefore make sure
your vehicle is operating safely at all times. For an overview, see the instrument cluster illus-
tration (Y page 32). Displays and operation
Instrument cluster lighting
The lighting in the instrument cluster, in the dis- plays and the controls in the vehicle interior can
be adjusted using the brightness control knob.
The brightness control knob is located on the
bottom left of the instrument cluster
(Y page 32).
X Turn the brightness control knob clockwise or
anti-clockwise.
If you turn the light switch to Ã,Tor
L, the brightness is dependent upon the
brightness of the ambient light.
i The light sensor in the instrument cluster
automatically controls the brightness of the
multifunction display.
In daylight, the displays in the instrument
cluster are not illuminated. Speedometer with segments
The speedometer is divided into segments only
on vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS.
The segments in the speedometer indicate
which speed range is available.
R Variable SPEEDTRONIC activated
(Y page 205):
The segments light up from the start of the
scale to the selected limit speed.
R DISTRONIC PLUS activated (Y page 207):
One or two segments in the set speed range
light up.
R DISTRONIC PLUS detects a vehicle in front
moving more slowly than the stored speed:
The segments between the speed of the vehi- cle in front and the stored speed light up. Rev counter
! Do not drive in the overrevving range. Doing
so will damage the engine.
The red band in the rev counter indicates the
engine's overrevving range. Displays and operation

rent using the function if:
R it is not possible to set the charge current on
the charging cable
R the precise maximum permitted charge cur-
rent can only be set via the on-board com-
puter
Before charging the high-voltage battery at a
wallbox or charging station, ensure that the
charging current is not limited by the function. If charging at a wallbox or a charging station,

Some systems carry out a self-diagnosis when the ignition is switched on. Several warning and
indicator lamps can thereby temporarily light up or flash. This behaviour is non-critical. These
warning and indicator lamps only indicate a malfunction if they light up or flash after the engine is started or during a journey. Safety
