Function of the Head-up Display

The Head-up Display projects information above the cockpit into the driver's field of vision, e.g. the speed of the vehicle, information from the navigation system or driver assistance systems and some warning messages.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, different content can be shown in the three areas of the Head-up Display.

1. Protection from reaching the overrevving range
2. Detected instructions and traffic signs
3. Current speed
4. Currently selected gear, gearshift options with manual shifting
5. Current engine speed

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, you can select further AMG displays in addition to the standard displays on the Display Content menu.

In vehicles with AMG TRACK PACE, you can display additional content:

• Speed and gear display
• Lap and sector times
• Acceleration and braking
• Track layout graphics

Important: The content that can be displayed will vary depending on the settings.

When you receive a call, the Incoming Call message will appear on the Head-up Display.

In audio mode, the station name or track will be shown temporarily when the audio source is being actively operated.

System limits

The visibility of the displays will be affected by the following conditions:

• Wet roadway
• Objects on the display cover
• Polarization in sunglasses

Important: In extreme sunlight, sections of the display may appear washed out. You can correct this by deactivating and reactivating the Head-up Display.

Wheels and tires

Overview of the tire-change tool kit

Required tire-change tools may include, for example:

• Jack
• Chock
• Lug wrench
• Alignment bolt

The tire-change tool kit is in a well in the stowage space under the trunk floor.
