display range of the instrument cluster:

Assisted Driving View

Principle

▷

Navigation displays such as the map view

or, if destination guidance is active, a route

preview with route guidance information.

Depending on vehicle equipment, information

on driver assistance systems is displayed us-

ing an animation of the vehicle when driver

assistance is enabled.

▷

Displays for service notifications.

Assisted Driving View. Information about

the assist systems is displayed in an ani-

mated surrounding area of the vehicle.

General information

Depending on the settings, Assisted Driving

Safety information

Driving mode view

Warning

Principle

The system cannot serve as a substitute for

the driver’s personal judgment in assessing

the traffic situation. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot independently react to

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the

surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready

to take over steering and braking at any time,

and actively intervene where appropriate.

Depending on the equipment, if the driving

mode view is activated, the displays in the in-

strument cluster will adapt to the respective

driving mode when a program is changed via

the Driving Experience Control.
