Introduction
The performance monitor is a display
for sporty driving. The digital
instruments display real-time values for
engine power, temperature and
acceleration that are determined by
sensors on the vehicle. This provides
the driver with an overview of driving
dynamics.

(left, middle, right).
To change instruments, swipe vertically over the display. The currently selected instrument will then
disappear and a new instrument will appear.
The units can be adjusted for some instruments in the Infotainment system

The following instruments can be displayed:
•
Charge pressure display:
the charge pressure display
⇒

(left) shows the pressure
in the charge air system between the turbocharger and engine (in the unit bar). The further to
the right the needle on the scale, the higher the engine power output.
•
Accelerometer (G-meter):
The accelerometer (G-meter)

(centre) shows the
acceleration value in the centre (in the unit g). The red marking in the grid-type area shows the
acceleration level and the direction of the acting force (in the opposite direction according to
physical laws). If you drive to the left, for example, the red marking will move in the right area of
the instrument (and vice versa). If you accelerate, the red marking will move down. If you brake,
the red marking will move up. The level of acceleration is indicated by the position of the red
marking which moves outwards. If the acceleration increases, the red marking will move away
from the centre area.

(right) shows the current engine power output
as a digital value and on the surrounding scale (in kW).
•
Coolant temperature display:
the needle may move further in a clockwise direction under high
engine loads and with high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing

•
Oil temperature display:
the needle is in the middle area under normal driving conditions. If
the needle is in the bottom left area, this means that the engine has not yet reached its
operating temperature. Avoid excessively high speeds and acceleration when the engine has
not yet reached its operating temperature. The needle may move further in a clockwise direction
under high engine loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless
the
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing
