Outside temperature display

If the outside temperature falls below approximately +4°C (around +39°F), the temperature display also shows a snowflake symbol

This symbol remains lit until the outside temperature rises above +6°C (around +43°F) .

In the following situation, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat

radiated from the engine.

—When the vehicle is stationary.

—When travelling at very low speeds.

The measuring range is between -50°C (around -58°F) and +75°C (around +167°F).

WARNING

Roads may be icy at low outside temperatures, also above freezing. There is an increased risk of accidents on icy roads. This can result

in serious or fatal injuries.

● Drive with particular care if the symbol is displayed on the instrument cluster display.

● Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather and road or traffic conditions.

● Never rely only on the outside temperature display.

Gear-change indicator

While the vehicle is in motion, the digital instrument cluster Basic may show which gear should be selected to reduce fuel consumption

(→ Gear-change indicator).

Open doors, bonnet and boot lid

The digital instrument cluster Basic indicates if any doors, the bonnet or boot lid are open once the vehicle has been unlocked and

Speed warning for winter tyres

A display in the digital instrument cluster Basic indicates when you have exceeded the set maximum speed.

Speed warning settings can be made in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Winter tyres).

representation of the vehicle in combination with a compass.

Radiator fan run-on

This display appears after the vehicle ignition has been switched off if the radiator fan is in after-run mode.

An after-run time of the radiator fan may be caused by the following:

—Exhaust gas treatment, e.g. during particulate filter regeneration.
