Immediately have the vehicle checked by  
a Service Partner of the manufacturer or another  
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐  
shop.  
General  
Indicator and warning lamps can illuminate in a  
variety of combinations and colours.  
Yellow lights  
When drive-ready state is switched on, the func‐  
tionality of some lights is checked and they illu‐

WARNING  
OFF in the revolution counter in‐  
dicates that the drive-ready state  
is switched off and the standby  
state is switched on.  
Even at temperatures above +3 ℃/+37 ℉  
there may be an increased risk of black ice, for  
example on bridges or on shaded sections of  
road. There is a risk of accident. At low temper‐  
atures, adjust driving style to the weather con‐  
ditions.  
The letters READY in the revolu‐  
tion counter indicate that the Auto Start Stop  
function is ready for automatic engine starting.  
For more information, see Rest state, standby  
state and drive-ready state, see page 41.

ered with the amount of fuel currently in the tank.  
▷ Normal operating tempera‐  
ture: the LEDs on the display  
indicate a moderate tempera‐  
ture value.  
General  
The estimated range available with the remaining  
fuel is permanently displayed in the instrument  
cluster.  
▷ Hot engine: the LEDs on the display indicate  
a high temperature value. A Check Control  
message is also displayed.  
A Check Control message is displayed briefly if  
the remaining range is low. If a sporty driving  
style is adopted, for example fast cornering, en‐  
gine function cannot be ensured at all times.  
To check the coolant level, see page 317.  
If the range drops below approximately 50 km,  
30 miles the Check Control message is dis‐  
played continuously.

primarily shown by road markings.  
▷ On routes without road signs.  
▷ In the case of railway crossings, lane mark‐  
ings and other situations which indicate an  
overtaking restriction but which are not sign‐  
posted to this effect.  
General  
The camera located near the interior mirror de‐  
tects road signs at the edge of the road as well  
as variable overhead signs.  
Overtaking restrictions for towing a trailer are not  
shown.  
Road signs with additional instructions, for exam‐  
ple restrictions applicable in in wet conditions,  
are taken into account and compared with inter‐  
nal vehicle data. The road sign and associated  
additional instructions are then displayed in the  
instrument cluster and the Head-Up Display, if  
applicable, or ignored, depending on the situa‐  
tion. Some additional signs are taken into ac‐  
count in the speed limit evaluation, but are not  
displayed in the instrument cluster.

Visibility of the display  
The visibility of the information shown on the  
Head-Up Display can be affected by the  
following:  
▷ Seat position.  
▷ Objects placed on the Head-Up Display  
cover.  
▷ Sunglasses with certain polarisation filters.  
▷ Wet roads.  
▷ Adverse lighting conditions.  
If the image is distorted, have the default settings  
checked by a Service Partner of the manufac‐  
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a  
specialist workshop.  
Special windscreen  
The windscreen is an integral part of the system.  
The shape of the windscreen enables a sharp  
image to be projected.  
A film in the windscreen prevents the projection  
of double images.  
Therefore if the special windscreen needs to be  
replaced, it is strongly recommended that this be  
carried out by a Service Partner of the manufac‐  
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a  
specialist workshop.
