Shift lights
To achieve the best vehicle acceleration with a
sporty driving style in the Sequential mode,
shift lights in the Head-Up Display
* indicate the
optimum shifting point briefly before reaching
the maximum rpm.
1. Activate the Head-Up Display, refer to
page

2. Select the "M View" display on the Head-
Up Display.
The current engine speed is highlighted on
the tachometer.
3. When approaching the maximum rpm, yel-
low illuminated fields
1 of the tachometer
consecutively indicate the approaching
upshift point.
4. At the very latest, shift when the field 2
lights up in red.
When the permissible maximum rpm is
reached, the entire tachometer begins to flash.
When the maximum rpm is exceeded, the fuel
supply is cut off to protect the engine. Always
avoid engine speeds in this range.
M Engine Dynamic Control
With M Engine Dynamic Control you can influ-
ence how sporty the reaction of your vehicle to
accelerator pedal movements is to be. Three
programs are available for engine control.
"P 400" program
In the "P 400" program, the engine reacts gen-
tly to the movement of the accelerator pedal.
This is, for example, ideal for city driving or driv-
ing on snow. In the process, the fuel consump-
tion is minimal and the engine output is
reduced.
