Performance Monitor sport gauges

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice

on page 26.

Fig. 18 In the Infotainment system: Performance Monitor sport gauges (if equipped). Gauges shown in the display

may vary depending on configuration.

Your vehicle may be equipped with the Performance

Monitor feature, which includes sport gauges and

a lap timer/stopwatch in the Infotainment system.

Boost pressure gauge

The boost pressure gauge → fig. 18 1 shows the

pressure in the boost pressure duct between the

turbocharger and the engine (shown in bar or psi,

depending on the units selected). The farther right

the needle points on the gauge, the higher the pres-

sure in the boost pressure duct and the greater the

output from the engine.

Depending on vehicle equipment, the following Per-

formance Monitor sport gauges may be available:

—

Boost pressure gauge fig. 18

Power display fig. 18

Accelerometer (g-meter)

— Engine oil temperature gauge

The accelerometer, or g-meter → fig. 18 2 , shows

the current vehicle acceleration in the center display

(shown in g).

— Engine coolant temperature gauge

You can access the Performance Monitor sport

gauges in the Infotainment system by pressing the

Vehicle

The red mark moves to different areas of the gauge

as the direction of acceleration changes. If you turn

left, the mark moves to the right of the gauge (and

vice versa). The red mark also moves down when ac-

celerating and up when braking. These values are

combined in certain situations, for example, when

making a right turn while accelerating, the red mark

moves to the lower left area of the gauge.

tion and displays.

Tap the arrow buttons at either side of the screen to

toggle between the Performance Monitor sport

gauges and the lap timer/stopwatch → page 28,

Performance Monitor lap timer and stopwatch.

The red mark also moves toward or away from the

center of the gauge depending on the level of accel-

eration. The farther the red mark is from the center,

the heavier the acceleration (greater g).

The display can show three Performance Monitor

sport gauges at any given time. Swipe your finger up

or down on a gauge to select a different one.

Engine oil temperature gauge

If the needle in the engine oil temperature gauge is

in the cold range, the engine has not reached oper-

ating temperature. Avoid high engine speeds and

heavy engine loads until the engine has reached op-

erating temperature.

WARNING

Driving on today's roads demands the full atten-

tion of the driver at all times. Driver distraction

causes accidents, collisions and serious personal

injury!

The engine has reached operating temperature

when the needle moves into the center of the gauge

under normal driving conditions. The needle may

move farther to the right on the gauge with a heavi-

er engine load at high outside temperatures. This is

Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of

traction, especially on slippery roads, resulting in

a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious

personal injury.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

If the needle in the engine coolant temperature

gauge is in the cold range, the engine has not

reached operating temperature. Avoid high engine

speeds and heavy engine loads until the engine has

reached operating temperature.

NOTICE

To help prevent engine damage, always avoid high

engine speeds, full throttle acceleration and heavy

engine loads when the engine is cold.

Under normal driving conditions, the needle should

be in the middle of the gauge. The temperature may

go higher when the engine is working hard, espe-

cially in hot weather. This is not a cause for concern

a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious

personal injury.

For vehicles equipped with a lap timer in the instru-

ment cluster display, see → page 20, Lap timer.

Only use the lap timer or fast acceleration if

speed limits, visibility, weather, road, and traffic

conditions permit and other drivers will not be

endangered by your driving and the vehicle's

acceleration.
