Information display
The combined instrument panel's information display shows information on some of the car's functions, e.g. cruise control and trip computer, as well as messages. The information is shown with symbols and text. There are further descriptions under the functions that use the display.
Gauges and indicators
Fuel gauge. When the indicator lowers to only one white marking1, the yellow indicator symbol for low level in the fuel tank is illuminated. See also Trip computer - supplementary information and Filling up with fuel.
Eco meter The meter provides an indication of how economically the car is being driven. The higher the reading on the scale, the more economical it is.

Functionality check
All indicator and warning symbols, apart from symbols in the centre of the information display, illuminate in key position II or when the engine is started. When the engine has started, all the symbols should go out except the parking brake symbol, which only goes out when the brake is disengaged.
If the engine does not start or if the functionality check is carried out in key position II then all symbols go out within a few seconds except the symbol for faults in the car's emissions system and the symbol for low oil pressure.
