Performance Monitor sport gauges  
Fig. 22 In the Infotainment system: Performance Monitor sport gauges. Gauges shown in the display may vary depending on configuration.  
Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first Introduction to the subjectꢀ  
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Performance Monitor feature, which includes sport gauges and a lap timer/stopwatch in the Infotainment system.  
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following Performance Monitor sport gauges may be available:  
38  
Boost pressure gauge Fig. 22ꢀ  
Accelerometer (g-meter) Fig. 22ꢀ  
Power display Fig. 22ꢀ  
Engine oil temperature gauge  
Engine coolant temperature gauge  
You can access the Performance Monitor sport gauges in the Infotainment system by pressing the  
button followed by Vehicle, Selection, and Sport.  
OR: When the vehicle is stationary, press the  
Infotainment button until the Performance Monitor is displayed Infotainment system operation and displays ꢀ.  
Tap the arrow buttons at either side of the screen to toggle between the Performance Monitor sport gauges and the lap timer/stopwatch Performance Monitor la  
timer and stopwatchꢀ.  
Changing the gauges and units in the display  
The display can show three Performance Monitor sport gauges at any given time. Swipe your finger up or down on a gauge to select a different one.  
For some gauges, the units can be changed in the Infotainment system. See Infotainment system operation and displays ꢀ.  
Boost pressure gauge  
The boost pressure gauge Fig. 22ꢀ shows the pressure in the boost pressure duct between the turbocharger and the engine (shown in bar or psi, depending on  
the units selected). The farther right the needle points on the gauge, the higher the pressure in the boost pressure duct and the greater the output from the engine.  
Accelerometer (g-meter)  
The accelerometer, or g-meter Fig. 22ꢀ, shows the current vehicle acceleration in the center display (shown in g).  
The red mark moves to different areas of the gauge as the direction of acceleration changes. If you turn left, the mark moves to the right of the gauge (and vice  
versa). The red mark also moves down when accelerating and up when braking. These values are combined in certain situations, for example, when making a right  
turn while accelerating, the red mark moves to the lower left area of the gauge.  
The red mark also moves toward or away from the center of the gauge depending on the level of acceleration. The farther the red mark is from the center, the  
heavier the acceleration (greater g).  
Power display  
The power display Fig. 22ꢀ shows the current engine power output on both a gauge and a digital display (shown in kilowatts).  
Engine oil temperature gauge  
If the needle in the engine oil temperature gauge is located in the cold range, the engine has not reached operating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds and  
heavy engine loads until the engine has reached operating temperature.  
The engine has reached operating temperature when the needle moves into the center of the gauge under normal driving conditions. The needle may move farther  
to the right on the gauge with a heavier engine load at high outside temperatures. This is not a cause for concern as long as the indicator light  
does not light u  
or flash in the instrument cluster See Engine oilꢀ.  
Engine coolant temperature gauge  
If the needle in the engine coolant temperature gauge is located in the cold range, the engine has not reached operating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds an  
heavy engine loads until the engine has reached operating temperature.  
Under normal driving conditions, the needle should be in the middle of the gauge. The temperature may go higher when the engine is working hard, especially in ho  
weather. This is not a cause for concern as long as the indicator light  
does not light up or flash in the instrument cluster. See Engine coolantꢀ.  
WARNING  
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!  
Never pay so much attention to the gauges in the Infotainment system that you fail to notice what is going on around you.  
WARNING  
Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, especially on slippery roads, resulting in a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious personal  
injury.  
NOTE  
To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.  
Because conditions used to determine vehicle performance may vary, the displayed values may not always be exact.

You can access the lap timer/stopwatch in the Infotainment system by pressing the  
button followed by Vehicle, Selection, and Sport.  
Tap the arrow buttons at either side of the screen to toggle between the Performance Monitor sport gauges and the lap timer/stopwatch Performance Monitor

Operating the stopwatch and lap timer  
The stopwatch has two different measuring functions. The stopwatch in the outer ring of the display (red needle) Fig. 23ꢀ can measure up to 60 seconds. The  
digital display in the center of the stopwatch shows the elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds. The seconds appear as large numbers.  
The digital display on the right side Fig. 23ꢀ shows the current lap split time in 1/100 second intervals. If the lap timer is not being used to track split times, both  
digital displays show the same time.
