Multi Informations Display (MID)
The Multi Information Display (MID) gives you a fast overview of all relevant vehicle information, presented clearly and ergonomically.
The display of the Check Control gives you instant information about any element of your vehicle that is not functioning properly. This includes checking that the doors and boot are properly closed and that all lamps (including indicator lights, reversing lights and brake lights) are functioning correctly. Even when your vehicle is not actually running, Check Control can test your lamps (cold check). The Tyre Defect Indicator (TDI) monitors the air pressure in each tyre and informs you instantly if there is any loss of pressure.
Data from the on-board computer keeps you informed about average fuel consumption, remaining range, average speed and, in combination with a navigation system, the remaining distance to your destination and estimated arrival time. The MID also displays the external temperature and provides an acoustic warning if it drops to below 3 °C to alert you to the danger of ice. The MID is controlled using either buttons on a lever on the steering column, or via the iDrive Controller.
