Information about various vehicle situations.

Odometer displays

The odometer indicates the total distance driven by the vehicle.

The trip odometer (trip) shows the distance driven since the last time the trip odometer was reset.
The last digit indicates 1/10 mile (100 meters).

Outside temperature display

At outside temperatures below about +39 °F (+4 °C), a “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) appears
in the display. The symbol flashes at first, then stays on until the outside temperature rises above

+43 °F (+6 °C)

⇒ .

When the vehicle is not moving or when you are driving at very low speeds, the temperature displayed
may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature.

The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C).

Compass display (if applicable)

On vehicles equipped with compass display, the current compass direction is indicated in the instru-

ment cluster display when the ignition and navigation system are switched on

⇒ page 15, Compass.

Selector lever positions

The selector lever position is shown both on the side of the selector lever and in the instrument cluster
display. The respective gear may also be shown in the instrument cluster display in Drive D and Sport
Drive S, as well as in Tiptronic

®

mode.

WARNING

Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to
break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury.

Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and where no part of the hot cata-

lytic converter and exhaust system can come into contact with flammable materials under the
vehicle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.

A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself and others. Switch on

emergency flashers and set up a warning triangle to warn oncoming traffic.

WARNING

Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside air temperature is above freez-
ing.

If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about frost conditions, remember

that roads can even ice over at temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if
the “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) is not displayed, there could still be black ice on
the road.

Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.

NOTICE

Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage.

The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary depending on the vehicle model

and engine. For displays without warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled
with indicator lights.

If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are displayed for several seconds in order of

importance. The symbols are displayed until the cause has been corrected.
