Warning and information messages

The system runs a check on certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched on or

while the vehicle is in motion. Malfunctions are indicated by red and yellow warning symbols with information

messages on the instrument cluster display. An acoustic warning is also given in certain cases. What the information

messages and symbols look like can vary depending on the version of the instrument cluster.

In addition, a list of current malfunctions can be opened manually. To do so, chooseVehicle status or Vehicle in the

menu (→ Vehicle settings menu).

Priority 1 warning message

The red central warning lamp flashes or lights up, in some cases together with acoustic warnings or additional

symbols. Do not drive on! Danger. Check the fault and correct the cause. If necessary, seek assistance from a

suitably qualified workshop.

Priority 2 warning message

The yellow central warning lamp flashes or lights up, in some cases together with acoustic warnings or additional

symbols. Malfunctions and insufficient service fluids can damage the vehicle and cause it to break down. Check the

fault as soon as possible. If necessary, seek assistance from a suitably qualified workshop.

Reference to information in the owner’s manual

You can find further information on the warning message in the owner's manual.

Information message

Information about various procedures within the vehicle.

Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment

system.

If several warning reports are detected, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The

symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified.

If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not be

possible to adjust some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently. If the fault

persists, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop.

19

Introduction to the digital instrument cluster

The vehicle is equipped with a digital instrument cluster. The instrument cluster indicates basic information, such as

speed.

The following functions may also be available, depending on the equipment:

—Various menus, e.g. For driver assist systems.

—Status displays for the driver assist systems.

—Display messages.

—Warning and indicator lamps.

—Information on consumption and range.

You can use these menus to customise the content and adjust the settings.

WARNING

If the driver is distracted when driving, this can cause accidents and serious injuries.

● Never operate the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.

● Adjust all settings in the instrument cluster and Infotainment system only when the vehicle is stationary.

WARNING

The display may be switched off if there is a serious error in the instrument cluster. The indicator lamp may also

light up.

● Park the vehicle safely.

● Seek expert assistance.

You may find that system settings, such as personal convenience settings and programming, have been

changed or deleted when you start the engine after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been fully discharged,

replaced or after a jump start. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery

has been sufficiently charged.

When the outside temperature is low, the display in the instrument cluster may take slightly longer to appear

than it does when the outside temperature is higher.

20

Overview of the digital instrument cluster

The Digital Cockpit is a digital instrument cluster with high-resolution TFT colour display. Users can choose from a

Rev counter

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.

You should change up a gear, select selector lever position D/S or lift your foot off the accelerator before the needle

reaches the red zone.

NOTICE

● When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading the engine.

● The needle on the rev counter should only briefly point into the red area, as engine damage may otherwise be

incurred.

Changing up a gear early will help to save fuel and reduce engine

noise.

27

Digital fuel gauge

Fig. 1 Fuel gauge in the digital instrument cluster

(illustration).

28

Troubleshooting

Fuel tank almost empty

The indicator lamp lights up yellow. The engine is consuming the reserve volume(red marking).

1. Fill the tank at the next opportunity (→ Fuel types and refuelling).

With some equipment levels: The auxiliary heater and the fuel-powered supplementary heater switch off

automatically when the indicator lamp lights up.

WARNING

Driving when the fuel level is too low can lead to the vehicle coming to a standstill in traffic, potentially causing

accidents and serious injuries.

● When the fuel level is too low, the fuel supply to the engine could be irregular, especially when driving up or

down hills and inclines.

● The steering, all driver assist systems and brake support systems stop working if the engine “sputters” or goes off

due to fuel shortage or irregular fuel supply.

● Always refuel when the fuel tank is still 1/4 full. This reduces the risk of running out of fuel and breaking down.

NOTICE

Never run the fuel tank completely empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause backfiring and allow unburnt fuel to

enter the exhaust system.

The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol in the fuel gauge shows you the side of the vehicle on which

the tank flap is located.

29

Digital coolant temperature display

The engine coolant temperature can be displayed in the secondary displays in the digital instrument cluster .

If the surroundings become darker, the display brightness is automatically dimmed. The basic brightness level

is adjusted together with the instrument lighting (→ Instrument and switch lighting).

An alternative colour scheme for the head-up display for poor weather conditions, e.g. snowfall, can be

selected in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system.

Sunglasses with polarising filters can negatively affect the readability of the

display.

31

Reflections can occur if the incident sunlight strikes the display at an unfavourable

angle.

The ideal position to read the head-up display depends on the seat position and the height setting of the

head-up display.

Driving data display

The multifunction display shows travel and fuel consumption data. There are several options for showing driving data

in the secondary display area (→ Digital instrument cluster).

Different driving data can be selected depending on the vehicle equipment level. The driving data displayed depend

on the current driving behaviour, the vehicle status (e.g. particulate filter regeneration) and the current driving
