Safety information

Vehicle features and options

This chapter describes model-specific equip-

ment, systems, and functions that are currently

available, or may become available in the fu-

ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.

Warning

If the driving information displays on the in-

strument cluster fail, e.g., the speedometer,

do not use the vehicle. There is a risk of

accident, injury, and property damage. Imme-

diately park the vehicle in a safe manner.

Turning drive-ready state off and on again

may correct the malfunction, allowing you to

continue driving. If the malfunction cannot be

corrected, have the vehicle checked by an au-

thorized service center or another qualified

service center or repair shop.

Additional information:

Instrument cluster

Principle

The instrument cluster comprises various digi-

tal displays, e.g., a speedometer, time, range,

temperature as well as indicator and warning

lights.

Overview

General information

Some of the displays in the instrument cluster

may differ from the illustrations in the Owner's

Warning

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.

cluster

Fuel gauge and total range

The yellow indicator light illuminates,

once the fuel reserve is reached.

Principle

The fuel gauge shows information on the cur-

rent fuel tank fill level and the total range on

the instrument cluster.

Overall range

The total range considers the contents of the

fuel tank as well as the electric energy in the

high-voltage battery. If the prerequisites for

electric driving are not met, the total range

considers the content of the fuel tank only.

General information

Vehicle inclination may cause the display to

vary.

Additional information:

Refueling, refer to page 340.

With a low remaining range, a Check Control

message is briefly displayed. A low remaining

range means that engine functions cannot al-

ways be ensured for sporty driving, e.g., when

cornering at speed.

NOTICE

The Check Control message appears

continuously below a range of approx.

30 miles/50 km.

With a range below 30 miles/50 km, the
