Performance monitor
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The performance monitor is a display
for sporty driving. The digital
instruments display real-time values for
engine power, temperature and
acceleration that are determined by
sensors on the vehicle. This provides
the driver with an overview of driving
dynamics.
Fig. 27 On the Infotainment system display: Performance monitor.
Key for ⇒ Fig. 27
Display areas.
Arrow buttons for changing to the lap timer.
Opening the performance monitor
•Press the MENU button on the Infotainment system.
•Touch the Vehicle function button.
•Touch the Selection function button.
•Touch the Sport function button.
If you would like to switch between the performance monitor and the lap timer ⇒ Lap timer, touch
one of the arrow buttons on the left and right above the instruments ⇒ Fig. 27②.
Selecting instruments and setting units
The display can show a maximum of three instruments at the same time. Each instrument can be
selected for each display area ⇒ Fig. 27① (left, middle, right).
To change instruments, swipe vertically over the display. The currently selected instrument will then
disappear and a new instrument will appear.
The units can be adjusted for some instruments in the Infotainment system ⇒ Operation and 
display in the Infotainment system.
The following instruments can be displayed:
•Charge pressure display: the charge pressure display ⇒ Fig. 27① (left) shows the pressure
in the charge air system between the turbocharger and engine (in the unit bar). The further to
the right the needle on the scale, the higher the engine power output.
•Accelerometer (G-meter): The accelerometer (G-meter) ⇒ Fig. 27① (centre) shows the
acceleration value in the centre (in the unit g). The red marking in the grid-type area shows the
acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of
the instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake,
the red marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red
marking which moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away
from the centre area.
•Power display: the power display ⇒ Fig. 27① (right) shows the current engine power output
as a digital value and on the surrounding scale (in kW).
•Coolant temperature display: the needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high
engine loads and with high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Coolant temperature 
display.
•Oil temperature display: the needle is in the middle area under normal driving conditions. If
the needle is in the bottom left area, this means that the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid excessively high speeds and acceleration when the engine has
not yet reached its operating temperature. The needle may move further in a clockwise direction
under high engine loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless
the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Engine oil.

driving situations.
In vehicles with a corresponding equipment level, the switch-on time for automatic headlight control
can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and 
display in the Infotainment system.
Cornering light
When cornering slowly or travelling around very tight bends, a static cornering light is switched on
automatically.
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if roads are not sufficiently illuminated and other
road users have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or cannot see it at all.
•The light assist functions are designed to provide assistance only. The driver is
responsible for making sure that the vehicle lights are switched on correctly.
•Always switch the dipped beam headlights on if it is dark, raining or visibility is poor.
WARNING
The side lights or daytime running lights are not bright enough to illuminate the road
ahead and to ensure that other road users are able to see you.
•Always switch the dipped beam headlights on if it is dark, raining or visibility is poor.
•The rear lights will not be switched on with the daytime running lights. If the rear lights
are not switched on, the vehicle may not be visible to other road users if it is dark,
raining, or if visibility is poor.
WARNING
The automatic headlights function ( ) switches the dipped beam headlights on and
off only when there is a change to the level of brightness.
•Switch on the dipped beam headlights manually if this is necessary due to particular
weather conditions, e.g. fog.
WARNING

In vehicles with a corresponding equipment level, main-beam control can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and 
display in the Infotainment system:
Switching on main beam control
•Switch on the ignition and turn the light switch to position .
•Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards out of the basic position.
When the main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp is shown on the instrument
cluster display.
Switching off main beam control
•Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
•OR: turn the light switch to a position that is not .
•OR: switch off the ignition.
•OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assist)
Advanced main-beam control provides maximum illumination for the road and the surrounding area.
At the same time, it prevents vehicles in front or oncoming vehicles from being dazzled. The system
uses a camera to detect other road users and their distance from your vehicle and covers part of
the headlights appropriately. If the system can no longer prevent other road users from being
dazzled, the main beams are switched off automatically.
System limits
The main beam must be switched off manually under the following conditions because it is not
switched off in time or not switched off at all by the main beam control:
•In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
•Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
•In tight bends, brows of hills or depressions in the land or half-hidden oncoming traffic.
•With oncoming traffic on streets 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 dusty or sandy areas.
•Damage to the windscreen in the camera's vision field.
•If the viewing field of the camera is misted up, dirty, covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
•If the camera is broken or the power supply is interrupted.
Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could
impair the functions of the main-beam control system (Light Assist).
Parking light
Switching the parking lights on and off
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main beam control tempt you into taking any
risks when driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always check the lights yourself and adjust them to the prevailing conditions for lights,
vision 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.
WARNING
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the
system:
•Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
•Do not cover the camera's field of view.
•Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for
damage.
