Multifunctional instrument display

The concept

The instrument display is a variable display. In

the event of a program change, the display

rendition adapts to the respective program

through the Driving Dynamics Control. The

change of appearance can be deactivated on

the Control Display.

Some of the displays in the instrument display

may differ from the way they are shown in this
