Selector lever positions
The current position of the selector lever is
shown on the side of the control and on the
instrument cluster display. When the control is
in the D/S position or in the Tiptronic position, in
some cases, the gear engaged in each case is
shown on the instrument cluster display .
Outside temperature indicator
If the outside temperature is lower than approxi-
mately +4°C (+39°F), the “ice crystal symbol”
also lights up on the outside temperature in-
dicator. This symbol remains lit until the outside
temperature exceeds +6°C (+43°F) ››› .
In the following situations, the displayed outside
temperature may be higher than the actual
temperature due to the heat emitted by the
motor:
●
When the vehicle is stationary
●
When driving very slowly
Gear-change recommendation
While driving, the instrument cluster of certain
vehicles may indicate a gear recommendation
for saving fuel ›››page159.
Odometer
The odometer registers the total distance trav-
elled by the car.
Combined operating range display
(hy-
brid vehicles)
The value shown is calculated and updated ac-
cording to the driving style. Therefore, the range
can vary even when the fuel tank is full and the
high-voltage battery is fully charged.
Range can be increased by reducing or switch-
ing o comfort consumers, e.g. air conditioning
or seat heating.
Speed warning for winter tyres
If the maximum set speed is exceeded, this is
displayed on the instrument cluster display.
The speed warning can be set in the infotain-
ment system ›››page39.
Compass indication
Depending on the equipment, when the ignition
is on, the instrument cluster display indicates
the direction in which you are driving with a
symbol, e.g. NW for Northwest.
When the Infotainment system is on and there is
no route guidance active, the graphic represen-
tation of a compass is also shown.
Low consumption driving
Depending on the equipment, when driving, the
display appears on the instrument cluster
when the vehicle is in low consumption status
due to active cylinder management (ACT®)
›››page159.
WARNING
Even when the outside temperature is higher
than freezing, some roads and bridges could
be frozen.
●
The “ice crystal symbol” indicates that
there may be a risk of freezing.
●
At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), there may be ice even when the “ice
crystal symbol” is not on.
●
The outside temperature sensor takes a
guideline measurement.
Note
●
There are dierent instrument clusters and
therefore the versions and instructions on
the display may vary. In the case of dis-
plays without warning or information texts,
faults are indicated exclusively by the con-
trol warning lamps.
●
Some indications on the instrument clus-
ter display may be concealed by a sudden
event, e.g. an incoming call.
●
Depending on the equipment, some set-
tings and instructions can be changed or dis-
played on the infotainment system as well.
●
If there are several warnings at the same
time, the symbols will be displayed one after
the other for a few seconds. The symbols will
stay on until you remove the cause.
