Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems. The respectively applicable country
provisions must be observed when using the
respective features and systems.
▷
To clean the Control Display, follow the
care instructions.
▷
Do not place objects close to the Control
Display; otherwise, the Control Display can
be damaged.
▷
In the case of very high temperatures on
the Control Display, e.g. due to intense so‐
lar radiation, the brightness may be re‐
duced down to complete deactivation.
Once the temperature is reduced, e.g.
through shadow or climate control system,
the normal functions are re-established.

switches. Thus, these functions can be oper‐
ated from a central location.

ing an unnecessary hazard to your vehicle's

traffic and road conditions allow it.◀
