Selecting instruments and adjusting units

The display can show a maximum of three instruments at the same time. Every instrument can be selected for any display

area ﬁg. 21 (left, center, right).

1. To switch between instruments, swipe up over the display.

The instrument that is currently selected will disappear and a new instrument will appear.

The units on some instruments can be adjusted in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.

The following instruments can be displayed:

Boost gauge: the boost gauge ﬁg. 21 displays the boost pressure between the turbocharger and the engine in bar. The

farther to the right that the needle on the scale is, the more engine power is being used.

Accelerometer (g-meter): the accelerometer (g-meter) ﬁg. 21 (center) displays the acceleration value in the center are

in g. The red marking in the tab area shows the intensity of the acceleration and the direction of the force. The force in

effect is contrary to the physical laws. For example, if you drive to the left, the red marking will move in the right area of th

instrument and vice versa. When accelerating, the red marking will move downward. When braking, the red marking will

move upward. The intensity of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red marking from the inside to the outside. I

you accelerate faster, the red marking will disappear from the center area.

Power gauge: the power gauge ﬁg. 21 (right) shows the engine power that is being currently used as a digital value

displayed on the surrounding scale in kW.

Engine coolant temperature gauge: when engine load is heavy and outside temperatures are high, the gauge may

move farther to the right. This is not a cause for concern as long as the

indicator light in the instrument cluster display

is off or blinking ⇒ Checking the engine oil level and adding oil .

Oil temperature gauge: the needle stays in the center area under normal driving conditions. If the pointer is in the left,

lower area, the engine operating temperature has not yet been reached. If the engine operating temperature has not bee

reached yet, avoid excessive high speeds and acceleration. Engine coolant temperature gauge: when engine load is

heavy and outside temperatures are high, the gauge may move farther to the right. This is not a cause for concern as

long as the

indicator light in the instrument cluster display is off or blinking ⇒ Troubleshooting.

Adjusting the display areas to the driving situation

You can select the three instruments that best ﬁt your individual driving style and the driving situation.
