Information profiles
To select a specific information profile, go to the Views menu option in the display of the instrument
cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster menus. The Active Info Display shows additional information in the
centre of the dials ⇒ Fig. 15② depending on the information profile you have selected. The
following information profiles are available:
•Classic. No additional information shown.
•Consumption and range. Current consumption is shown graphically and average consumption
is shown digitally in the rev counter. The remaining range is shown digitally in the speedometer.
•Efficiency. Average consumption is shown digitally and current consumption is shown
graphically in the rev counter. In the speedometer, the symbol is shown if the current
driving style is fuel-efficient, and a graphic display helps the driver save fuel.
•Navigation. If route guidance is active: the remaining distance to the set destination and an
estimated time of arrival are shown in the rev counter, and arrows to aid navigation are shown
in the speedometer. If route guidance is inactive: the current altitude is shown in the rev
counter, and a compass is shown in the speedometer.
•Driver assistance. Graphic representation of various driver assist systems, or digital display of
the driving time in the rev counter. The speedometer meanwhile shows arrow navigation or a
compass.
•Off-road. Digital display of the steering angle and compass display in the speedometer. With
active Hill Descent Control: graphic display of the Hill Descent Control with speed display in the
speedometer.
Navigation map in the Active Info Display
With some vehicle equipment levels, the Active Info Display is able to display a detailed map. To
display this map, select the Navigation menu item in the instrument cluster ⇒ Instrument cluster
menus.
The map can be shown in either of two sizes. If the larger version is selected, the Active Info
Display dials will be smaller. To select the preferred map size:

switch between map sizes as required.
•OR: press the or arrow button on the multifunction steering wheel to select the
required map size. A frame appears around the selected option.
•Confirm the selection by pressing the button on the multifunction steering wheel.
Depending on the equipment level, navigation is shown on two displays or only one. The navigation
map be displayed on the Active Info Display and Infotainment system or only on the Infotainment
system display. In the latter case, only navigation arrows are shown on the Active Info Display.
Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine noise.
