Instrument panel

Gear and driving mode indicator – The cur- rently selected driving mode is displayed here. If you use the Geartronic function on the automatic transmission, the currently selected gear will be displayed.

Ambient temperature gauge – This display indicates the air temperature outside your vehicle. A "snowflake" symbol in the text window is displayed when the temperature is in the range of 23 – 36 °F (–5 – +2 °C). Please note that this symbol does not indi- cate a fault with your vehicle. At low speeds or when the vehicle is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the actual ambient tempera- ture.

Clock/set button – Turn the button to set the clock.

Fuel gauge – see page 282 for fuel tank volume. When the warning light in the gauge comes on, the vehicle should be refueled as soon as possible. The trip com- puter section (see page 75) provides more information on fuel level and con- sumption.
