of the doors, the bonnet or rear lid are
opened and, in some cases, it is also indica-
ted by an audible warning. The display may
vary according to the type of instrument pan-
el fitted.

Selector control positions (DSG® dual
clutch gearbox)

The current position of the selector control is

til the outside temperature exceeds +6 °C
(+43 °F)

›››

When the vehicle is stationary, when the aux-
iliary heater is switched on or when driving at
very low speeds, the outside temperature in-
dicated may be higher than the actual tem-
perature due to the heat produced by the en-
gine.

The margin of measurement ranges from
-45 °C (-49 °F) to +76 °C (+169 °F).

WARNING

Even when the outside temperature is high-
er than 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 con-
trol 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 set-

tings 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 af-
ter the other for a few seconds. The sym-
bols 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.

Driver alert system (break recom-
mendation)

Fig. 63

On the instrument panel display: driver

alert system symbol.

The Fatigue detection informs the driver when
their driving behaviour shows signs of fatigue.

Function and operation

Fatigue detection determines the driving be-
haviour of the driver when starting a journey,
making a calculation of tiredness. This is con-
stantly compared with the current driving be-
haviour. If the system detects that the driver is
tired, an audible warning is given with a
sound and an optic warning is shown with a
symbol and complementary message on the
instrument panel display

›››

Fig. 63

. The mes-

sage on the instrument panel display is
shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-

pending on the case, is repeated. The system
stores the last message displayed.

The message on the instrument panel display
can be switched off by pressing the



button on the windscreen wiper lever or the
button



on the multi function steering wheel

page 85

The message can be recalled to the instru-
ment panel display using the multifunction
display

›››

Conditions of operation

Driving behaviour is only calculated on
speeds above about 65 km/h (40 mph) up to
around 200 km/h (125 mph).

Switching on and off

Fatigue detection can be activated or deacti-
vated in the infotainment system using the
function button



. A

mark indicates that the adjustment has been
activated.

System limitations

The Fatigue detection has certain limitations
inherent to the system. The following condi-
tions can limit the Fatigue detection or pre-
vent it from functioning.

Vehicles with analogue instrument panel.

Operation

●

At speeds below 65 km/h (40 mph)

●

At speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph)

●

When cornering

●

On roads in poor condition

●

In unfavourable weather conditions

●

When a sporty driving style is employed

●

In the event of a serious distraction to the

driver

Fatigue detection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.

In the event of slow driving during a long peri-
od of time (below 65 km/h, 40 mph) the sys-
tem automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted.

WARNING

Do not let the comfort afforded by the Fati-
gue detection system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving. Take regular breaks,
sufficient in length when making long jour-
neys.

●

The driver always assumes the responsi-

bility of driving to their full capacity.

●

Never drive if you are tired.

●

The system does not detect the tiredness

of the driver in all circumstances. Consult
the information in the section

›››

page 75,

System limitations

●

In some situations, the system may incor-

rectly interpret an intended driving ma-
noeuvre as driver tiredness.

●

No warning is given in the event of the ef-

fect called microsleep!

●

Please observe the indications on the in-

strument panel and act as is necessary.

Note

●

Fatigue detection has been developed

for driving on motorways and well paved
roads only.

●

If there is a fault in the system, have it

checked by a specialised workshop.

Road signs detection system

Fig. 64

On the instrument panel display: ex-

amples of recognised signals.

The traffic signal detection system is activa-
ted whenever the vehicle ignition is switched
on.

The system records the standard traffic signs
in front of the vehicle with a camera located
on the base of the interior mirror and provides
information about speed limits, hazard warn-
ings and overtaking prohibitions.

Within its limitations, the system also displays
additional signals, such as time-specific pro-
hibitions, signs for vehicles towing trailers

›››

page 294

or limitations that only apply in

the event of rain. Even on journeys without
signs, the system may display any applicable
speed limits.

System available depending on the country.

Instruments and warning/control lamps

The traffic sign detection system does not
work in all countries. Keep this in mind when
travelling abroad.

Shown on the display

In Germany, on motorways and vehicle
roads, besides speed limits and overtaking
provisions the system also displays the end of
prohibition signs. The valid speed limit at the
time in other countries is always shown.

The traffic signs detected by the system are
displayed on the dash panel display
