Doors, bonnet and rear lid open

Selector lever positions (dual-clutch DSG®)
The current position of the selector lever is shown on the side of the lever and on the instrument panel display. When the lever is in the D/S position or in the Tiptronic position, in some cases, the gear engaged in each case is shown on the instrument panel display.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature is lower than approximately +4°C (+39°F), the “ice crystal symbol” on the outside temperature display also lights up. This symbol remains lit until the outside temperature exceeds +6°C (+43°F). When the vehicle is stationary, when the auxiliary heater is switched on or when driving at very low speeds, the outside temperature indicated may be higher than the actual temperature due to the heat produced by the engine. The margin of measurement ranges from -45°C (-49°F) to +76°C (+169°F).
Driving recommendation
While driving, the instrument panel of certain vehicles may indicate a gear recommendation for saving fuel.
Odometer
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car. The partial odometer (trip) shows the distance travelled since the last time it was reset to zero.
Speed warning for winter tyres
If the maximum speed set is exceeded, this is displayed on the instrument panel. The speed warning can be adjusted on the Infotainment system: by using the button and the SETTINGS > Driver Assistance.
Compass indication
Depending on the equipment, when the ignition is on, the instrument panel display indicates the direction in which you are driving with a symbol, e.g. NW for Northwest. When the Infotainment system is on and there is no route guidance active, the graphic representation of a compass is also shown.
Low consumption driving
Depending on the equipment, when driving, the display appears on the instrument panel when the vehicle is in low consumption status due to active cylinder management (ACT®)*.

WARNING: Even when the outside temperature is higher than the freezing temperature, some roads and bridges could be frozen.
- The “ice crystal symbol” indicates that there may be a risk of freezing.
- At outside temperatures above +4°C (+39°F), there may be ice even when the “ice crystal symbol” is not on.
- The outside temperature sensor takes a guideline measurement.
Note
- There are different instrument panels and therefore the versions and instructions on the display may vary. In the case of dis-plays without warning or information texts, faults are indicated exclusively by the control warning lamps.
- Some indications on the instrument panel screen may be concealed by a sudden event, e.g. an incoming call.
- Depending on the equipment, some settings and instructions can be carried out or displayed on the infotainment system as well.
- If there are several warnings at the same time, the symbols will be displayed one after the other for a few seconds. The symbols will stay on until you remove the cause.
- If when switching on the ignition warnings are shown about existing faults, it might not be possible to change the settings or show the information as described. In this case, go to a specialised workshop and request a repair.
