Driver information system

Introduction

General notes
The driver information system in the instrument cluster
shows you the status of various on-board systems at a
glance.
The display for the driver information system is in the centre of the
instrument cluster.
The system runs a check on certain components and functions
when the ignition is switched on and while the vehicle is moving. It
gives an audible warning if a fault should occur or if servicing is
required, and a red or yellow warning symbol (in some cases with a
corresponding driver message) appears in the dashboard display.
The system will also display information for the radio and CD player
and (if fitted) the route guidance directions from the navigation
system*. For further information on these systems, please refer to
the MMI operating manual.
On some models the display of information shown in the instru-
ment cluster differs from the illustrations used here.
The driver information system includes the following functions:
CD and radio display
Outside temperature
Gear-change indicator
Digital speedometer*
Door catches/boot lid warning
Service interval display
Auto-check control*
