Onboard monitorVehicle 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.
The concept The onboard monitor combines the functions
of a multitude of switches. Thus, these func‐
tions can be operated from a central location.
Using the onboard monitor during a trip
To avoid becoming distracted and posing
an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's occu‐
pants and to other traffic, never attempt to use
the controls or enter information unless traffic
and road conditions allow it. ◀Control elements at a
