Outside temperature display
At outside temperatures colder than +39 °F (+4 °C), a "snow flake symbol" (black
ice warning) also appears on the outside temperature display. This symbol flashes
initially and then stays lit until the outside temperature increases above +43 °F
(+6 °C) ⇒
.
If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed), the temperature indica-
ted may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat
radiated by the engine.
The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C).
Selector lever positions
The set selector lever position is shown both at the side of the selector lever and
on the display on the instrument cluster. In the positions D and S and in Tiptronic,
the display may show the current gear.
WARNING
Ignoring illuminated warning lights and text messages may result in breaking
down in traffic, accidents and serious injury.
● Never ignore illuminated warning lights and text messages.
● Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.
● A broken-down vehicle is a high accident risk to itself and other road
users. If necessary, turn on the hazard warning light system and place the
warning triangle on the side of the road to warn other road users.
● Park the vehicle in a safe distance from moving traffic such that no parts
of the exhaust system come in contact with highly flammable materials under
the vehicle such as dry grass, fuel.
WARNING
Roads and bridges may be icy at temperatures above freezing.
● Ice may be present at temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C), even if no "ice
crystal symbol" is displayed as a warning of black ice.
● Never rely only on the outside temperature display!
NOTICE
Ignoring illuminated indicator lights and text messages may lead to vehicle
damage.
