If the ignition is switched on, depending on the equipment level, the instrument cluster display shows the current

Radiator fan run-on
This appears after the vehicle’s drive system has been deactivated and the radiator fan continues to run.

Selector lever position for the automatic gearbox
The gear selected is displayed on the side of the selector lever and on the display in the instrument cluster. The
instrument cluster display shows which gear has been selected if the selector lever is in D position or in Tiptronic
mode (→ Automatic gearbox).
Different instrument clusters are available, which means that the versions and displays may vary. In displays
without warning or information texts, faults are indicated exclusively by the indicator lamps.
Some displays in the instrument cluster may be overridden by sudden alerts, e.g. incoming telephone
calls.

The start of the red zone on the dial indicates the maximum engine speed that may be used in each gear when the
engine is warm and after it has been run in properly.
