What is the 'P' under the Coffee cup?
Hi,
Just curious, when car is running under 20, a 'P' shows up under the Coffee Cup - what does that mean? It disappears once it runs over 20 or so. I have also noticed, my acceleration is much more responsive after that.

It is not a PARKTRONIC indicator, it is the parking assist feature.
Your acceleration is better after 20km/h because you're in the sweet spot of the torque curve at that point.

Understood. Thanks. I thought it was applying some resistance under 20, and that is why acceleration shoots up above 20. So, to the basics - as advertised 0-60 in 5.2 secs...do you get that? I have a hard time at low speeds, but it shoots like a rocket after 20-25. Much better in S mode and Sport Airmatic, of course. Any tips?

I don't have much advice - ESP off and make sure you're launching in first gear! (E mode will always start in 2nd gear)

It's a parking assist. It measures if there is enough space to parallel park your car. Once it becomes blue - it will show you how to turn your steering wheel for a perfect parking. Just follow instructions on speedometer cluster...

I thought the P was for "PASS this jackwagon in front on you!!!!"
