Instrument cluster
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Analogue instrument cluster 
⇒ Rev counter 
⇒ Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display) 
⇒ Displays 
⇒ Instrument cluster menus 
⇒ Service menu 
⇒ Driving data display (multifunction display) 
⇒ Warning and information messages 
⇒ Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaks) 
⇒ Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assist) 
⇒ Time 
⇒ Lap timer 
⇒ Fuel gauge 
⇒ Coolant temperature display 
⇒ Service interval display 
The vehicle is equipped either with an analogue or a digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display).
When you start the engine after the 12-volt battery has been totally discharged or changed, you may
find that system settings (time, date, personal convenience settings and programming) have been
changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery has
been sufficiently charged.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
Never press the buttons on the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.
Any settings for the instrument cluster display and displays in the Infotainment system should be
made only when the vehicle is stationary in order to reduce the risk of accidents and serious injuries.

Rev counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Rev counter
The start of the red zone on the rev counter indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used
in each gear when the engine is warm and after it has been run in properly. You should change up a
gear or move the selector lever to D/S (or lift your foot off the accelerator) before the needle
reaches the red zone ⇒ .

NOTICE

When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the
engine.
The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may
otherwise be incurred.

Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.

Digital instrument cluster (Active Info Display)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The Active Info Display is a digital instrument cluster with high-resolution TFT colour display. To
complement the standard dials such as the rev counter and speedometer, users can choose from
various "information profiles" to view additional data.

Open doors, bonnet and boot lid
The instrument cluster display indicates if any doors, the engine compartment or boot lid are open
once the vehicle has been unlocked, and while the vehicle is in motion. In some cases, a signal tone
is also given. Different instrument cluster designs may have different displays.
Selector lever positions (DSG® dual clutch gearbox)
The gear selected is displayed on the side of the selector lever and on the display in the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster display may show which gear has been selected if the selector lever is
in D/S position or in Tiptronic mode ⇒ DSG® dual clutch gearbox .
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below approximately +4°C (+39°F), the temperature display also
shows a snowflake symbol . This symbol remains lit up until the outside temperature rises
above +6°C (+43°F) ⇒ .
Heat radiated from the engine may cause the temperature display to show a slightly higher value
than the actual outside temperature if the vehicle is stationary, the auxiliary heater ⇒ Auxiliary
heater and ventilation  is switched on or the vehicle is travelling at a very low vehicle speed.
The measured range is -45°C (-49°F) to +76°C (+169°F).
Gear-change indicator
While the vehicle is in motion, the instrument cluster may show which gear should be selected to
reduce fuel consumption ⇒ Gear-change indicator .
Mileage displays
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the vehicle.
The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset.
Vehicles with analogue instrument cluster: press the button in the instrument cluster
briefly to reset the trip recorder to 0 ⇒ Analogue instrument cluster .
Vehicles with digital instrument cluster: reset the trip recorder via the Infotainment system or
via the multifunction display ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays  or ⇒ Driving data display
(multifunction display) .
Speed warning for winter tyres
A display in the instrument cluster indicates when the set maximum speed has been exceeded
⇒ Instrument cluster menus .
Speed warning settings can be made in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle
settings menu .

Close the tank cap.

WARNING
Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic,
potentially causing accidents and serious injuries.
When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when
driving up or down hills and inclines.
The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine sputters
or goes off due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.
Always fill the tank when it is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking
down.

NOTICE
Do not run the tank empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring and allow unburnt fuel to
enter the exhaust system. The catalytic converter or particulate filter could be damaged as a result.

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle
on which the tank flap is located.
