The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some
warning and indicator lamps light up when the ignition is switched on and must go out once the
engine is running or the vehicle is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, symbols may be displayed in the instrument cluster
instead of warning lamps.

Indicator lamps which light up in the light switch are described in the chapter Lights Lig

Measuring lap times
The stopwatch measures the lap time in two areas:
The red needle and the numerical value in the centre show the running time in seconds. The smaller
display in the inner area shows minutes and hours.
The display on the right side shows the current lap time with an accuracy of 1/100 seconds. There is
no difference between the stopwatch and lap times if there are not yet any laps with split times
stored in the lap timer.

WARNING
Avoid operating the lap timer when the vehicle is in motion if possible.
Make lap timer settings and access statistics only when the vehicle is stationary.
When the vehicle is in motion, use the lap timer only in driving situations which are easy to control.
Personalisation
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
The personalisation function allows personalised vehicle settings, such as air conditioning system,
instrument cluster or lighting settings, to be saved in a user account. Four user accounts are
available. Users are identified by the vehicle keys upon unlocking the vehicle. A user account is
assigned to each vehicle key.
Changes to the settings will be assigned to the active user account and saved upon locking the
vehicle or changing the user account.
Welcome and user account selection
When personalisation is activated, the name of the current user account appears on the instrument
cluster display for approximately ten seconds after you switch on the ignition.
During this time, you can select a user account using the buttons on the wiper lever or multifunction
steering wheel Infotainment system controls and displays

WARNING
Incorrect use of turn signals, a failure to use turn signals, or forgetting to switch off a turn signal can
confuse other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Always activate the turn signal in good time when changing lanes and performing overtaking or
turning manoeuvres.
Always switch off the turn signal once the lane change or overtaking or turning manoeuvre has been
completed.

The hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is switched off In an emergency

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change when the user account changes Personalisation

Switching off main-beam control
Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
OR: switch off the automatic headlights .
OR: switch off the ignition.
OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
System limits
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched
off by the main-beam control in time or at all:
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips.
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
In fog, snow or heavy rain.
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand.
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example
if additional headlights are fitted.
