Introduction to the instrument cluster
The vehicle can be equipped with an analogue or 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
If there is a serious fault in the instrument cluster, the display may be switched off. The indicator lamp may also light up.
- Park the vehicle safely.
- Ask a suitably qualified workshop.
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.
