General notes  
The driver information system in the instrument cluster  
shows you the status of various on-board systems at a  
glance.  
Speed warning  
On-board computer*  
Fig. 8 Dashboard:  
Display in instrument  
cluster (automatic  
gearbox)  
Note  
If a fault should occur, the display will show a red or yellow warning  
symbol. A red warning symbol indicates a serious malfunction  
⇒ page 30. A yellow warning symbol indicates a less serious  
malfunction, or other item requiring attention ⇒ page 34.  
The display for the driver information system is in the centre of the  
instrument cluster.  
The system runs a check on certain components and functions  
when the ignition is switched on and while the vehicle is moving. It  
gives an audible warning if a fault should occur or if servicing is  
required, and a red or yellow warning symbol (in some cases with a  
corresponding driver message) appears in the dashboard display.  
The system will also display information for the radio and CD player  
and (if fitted) the route guidance directions from the navigation  
system*. For further information on these systems, please refer to  
the MMI operating manual.  
On some models the display of information shown in the instru-  
ment cluster differs from the illustrations used here.  
The driver information system includes the following functions:

At temperatures below +5°C a snowflake symbol appears next to the  
temperature display. This is to warn the driver to take extra care  
when there is a risk of ice on the road.  
CD and radio display  
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the  
temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual  
outside temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the  
engine.  
The temperature units can be set to °F or °C on the MMI* or sound  
system control console. The outside temperature is automatically  
displayed in the units you have selected. Please refer to the Oper-  
ating Manual for the MMI* or sound system.

information  
If no priority 1 or 2 faults have been detected by the auto-check  
control, the name or frequency of the current radio station and the  
selected waveband will appear the upper part of the display.  
WARNING  
Do not rely on the outside temperature display as an ice warning.  
Please bear in mind that there may be patches of ice on the roads  
even at outside temperatures around +5°C.  
When a CD is playing, the display will show the current title. If the  
vehicle is equipped with a CD changer* the display will also show  
the number of the CD being played (CD1 to CD6).

To familiarise yourself with the gear-change indicator, we recom-  
mend driving in the normal way to start with. A gear change will be  
recommended if the gear you are in is not the most economical  
choice for the current driving conditions. The gear you are currently  
in and the recommended gear will be displayed ⇒ page 21, fig. 11.  
The display shows the current speed. The speed is displayed in  
increments of 1 km/h.  
• Shifting up a gear: The suggested gear appears to the right of the  
current gear when a higher gear is recommended.  
• Shifting down a gear: The suggested gear appears to the left of  
the current gear when a lower gear is recommended.  
Gears may ocassionally be skipped (3 > 5).  
If no gear change is recommended, you are already in the most  
economical gear.  
Note  
• The gear-change indicator is intended to help save fuel. It is not  
intended to recommend the right gear for all driving situations. For

will need to have the oil change interval display reset by a qualified  
workshop.

Displaying distance to next service  
You can have the distance to the next service displayed on the MMI  
screen ⇒ page 23, fig. 15. The remaining distance to the next  
service is updated every time the ignition is switched on (starting at  
500 km after a service has been performed).  
On a new vehicle, the display will always show the following  
message for the first 500 km.  
SERVICE IN ----- KM --- DAYS  
Caution  
The system cannot calculate the figures for the service indicator if  
the battery is disconnected from the vehicle, so no service reminder  
can be displayed during this time. Please remember that keeping to  
the correct service intervals is most important for the service life  
and residual value of the vehicle (and especially for the life of the  
engine). The period between two services must never be longer
