Selecting information
You can select what information from the on‐
board computer is to be displayed on the CID
(central information display) of the instrument
cluster.
On the Control Display:
1. "Settings"2."Instrument cluster"3.Select the desired information.
Settings are stored for the profile currently
used.
Information in detail
Range Displays the estimated cruising range available
with the remaining fuel.
It is calculated based on your driving style over
the last 20 miles/30 km.
GREEN info Description of GREEN info, refer to page 169.
Average fuel consumption This is calculated for the period while the en‐
gine is running.
The average fuel consumption is calculated for
the distance traveled since the last reset by the
onboard computer.
Average speed Periods in which the vehicle is parked with the
engine manually stopped are not included in
the calculation of the average speed.
Resetting average values
Press and hold button on turn signal lever.
Engine temperature display
Displays the current engine temperature, based
on a combination of coolant and motor oil tem‐
perature. As soon as the optimum operating
temperature has been attained, the indicator is
in the center position.
If the engine oil or coolant, thus the engine, be‐
come too hot, a Check Control message is dis‐
played.
Check the coolant level, refer to page 200.

tomatically.
With equipment version with Head-up
Display and navigation: time of arrival
The estimated time of arrival is displayed if a
destination is entered in the navigation system

Chrono package in the
cockpit
The concept
The Chrono package consists of three display
instruments in the cockpit, where the engine oil
pressure, the turbocharger boost, and the time
are displayed. In addition, intermediate and to‐
tal times can be measured using the stop
watch.
The display elements of the Chrono package
mainly support a sporty driving style, e,g, on
racetracks.
Overview1Engine oil pressure display2Display of turbocharger boost3Time/stop watch
Engine oil pressure
The current engine oil pressure is displayed. At
low temperatures, there can be an increase in
the engine oil pressure.
Turbocharger boostThe current boost of the engine's turbocharger
is displayed.
Stop watch
General information The stop watch contains the following features:
▷Measuring the total time.▷Measuring and storing of up to nine lap
times.▷Displaying the time.
The red indicator light indicates that the
stop watch is active.
Overview, buttons
▷MODE button, arrow 1.▷START/STOP button, arrow 2.▷RESET/LAP buttons, arrow 3.
Displaying the measured times
The times measured using the stop watch are
shown in minutes and seconds on the display.
For times greater than 60 minutes, the num‐ bers of hours and the minutes with seconds are
alternatively displayed.
If the stop watch is running, the seconds are
also shown using a seconds pointer in the scale
of the display element.
Measuring the total time
1.Press button, arrow 2, to start the stop
watch.2.Press button, arrow 2, again to stop the
stop watch.
Lap times
General information
It is possible to measure and store up to nine
lap times. Older lap times are overwritten.

Objects in the area around the pedalsWARNING
Objects in the driver's floor area can limit
the pedal distance or block a depressed pedal.
There is risk of an accident. Stow objects in the
vehicle such that they are secured and cannot
enter into the driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle and can be
safely attached to the floor. Do not use loose
floor mats and do not layer several floor mats.
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance for
the pedals. Ensure that the floor mats are se‐
curely fastened again after they were removed,
for example for cleaning. ◀
Driving in wet conditions When roads are wet, salted, or in heavy rain,
press brake pedal ever so gently every few
miles.
Ensure that this action does not endanger other
traffic.
The heat generated in this process helps dry
the brake discs and pads.
In this way braking efficiency will be available
when you need it.
Hills WARNING
Light but consistent brake pressure can
lead to high temperatures, brakes wearing out
and possibly even brake failure. There is risk of
an accident. Avoid placing excessive stress on
the brake system. ◀
WARNING
In idle or with the engine switched off,
safety-relevant functions are restricted or not
available anymore, for example braking effect
of the engine or braking force and steering
support. There is risk of an accident. Do not
drive in idle or with the engine switched off. ◀
Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the
gear that requires least braking efforts. Other‐wise the brakes may overheat and reduce
brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's braking effect by
shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
Brake disc corrosion Corrosion on the brake discs and contamina‐
tion on the brake pads are furthered by:▷Low mileage.▷Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all.▷Infrequent use of the brakes.
Corrosion will built up when the maximum
pressure applied to the brake pads during brak‐
ing is not reached - thus discs don't get
cleaned.
Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will cause
a pulsating effect on the brakes in their re‐
sponse - generally that cannot be corrected.
Condensation under the parked vehicle When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water develops collecting under‐
neath the vehicle.
Ground clearance CAUTION
If ground clearance is insufficient, there
might be contact with the front or rear spoiler
for example when driving over curbs or enter‐
ing into underground car parking garages.
There is risk of property damage. Ensure that
there is sufficient ground clearance available. ◀

CareVehicle features and op‐tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
Car washes
General information Regularly remove foreign objects such as leaves
in the area below the windshield when the
hood is raised.
Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in
winter. Intense soiling and road salt can dam‐
age the vehicle.
Steam jets or high-pressure washers
Information CAUTION
When cleaning with high-pressure wash‐
ers, components can be damaged due to the
pressure or temperatures being too high. There
is risk of property damage. Maintain sufficient
distance and do not spray too long continu‐
ously. Follow the Owner's Manual for the high-
pressure washer. ◀
Distances and temperature▷Maximum temperature: 140 ℉/60 ℃.▷Minimum distance from sensors, cameras,
seals: 12 inches/30 cm.▷Minimum distance from glass sunroof:
31.5 inches/80 cm.
Automatic car washes
Information CAUTION
Water can penetrate in the windshield
area due to high-pressure washers. There is risk
of property damage. Avoid high-pressure
washers. ◀
CAUTION
Improper use of automatic car washes
can cause damage to the vehicle. There is risk of property damage. Information the following
instructions:
▷Give preference to cloth car washes or
those that use soft brushes in order to
avoid paint damage.▷Avoid car washes with guide rails higher
than 4 in/10 cm to avoid damage to the
chassis.▷Observe the tire width of the guide rail to
avoid damage to tires and rims.▷Fold in exterior mirrors to avoid damage to
the exterior mirrors.▷Unscrew the rod antenna to avoid the rod
antenna breaking off.▷Deactivate rain sensor if necessary to avoid
damage to the wiper system. ◀
In some cases, an unintentional alarm can be
triggered by the interior motion sensor of the
alarm system. Follow the instructions on avoid‐
ing an unintentional alarm, refer to page 45.
With front PDC: to reduce PDC false alarms,
switch off automatic PDC activation on obstacle
detection, for example in car washes, refer to
page 128.
