The area on the left between the two status bars is the control area in which the options of the selected main menu (e.g. Entertainment) are displayed and selected.

The area on the right is the assistance screen. This is where individually selected functions from the "Vehicle Data" menu such as On-Board Computer, or the route display for the navigation system or the short description and Help info. are displayed.

The two status bars permanently display the status of the most important functions such as outside temperature or time. The top and bottom status bars extend across the entire screen.
