INTERIOR OVERVIEW
The center display is used to control many of the vehicle's main
functions, such as the climate system, driver support systems and
apps.
The instrument panel displays most of the information related to
driving such as speed, rpm, navigation and active driver support
functions. You can decide what is displayed here via
Settings
My Car Displays in the center display's Top view.
The head-up display* supplements the instrument panel by pro-
jecting certain information on the lower section of the windshield. It
can be activated in the center display's Function view.
Start/stop the engine with the start knob in the tunnel console,
between the front seats. Select gears P or N. Turn the knob clockwise and release it to activate ignition mode I or depress the brake

Drive modes are selected using the control in the tunnel console,
between the front seats. Press the control and roll it to select drive
mode Pure, Off Road, AWD, Hybrid, Power or Individual in the
center display. Confirm your choice by pressing the control. Drive
mode Individual enables you to tailor a drive mode's characteristics

deactivated in automatic car washes where the vehicle rolls. This is
done in the center display's Top view by tapping Settings My
Car and deselecting Parking Brake and Suspension. Select gear

this position for at least 4 seconds.

ted States and Canada are equipped with an automatic occupant
weight sensor that monitors the weight of the person sitting in the

owner's manual or the printed owner's manual supplement
for important safety-related information about this function.
