Indicator and warning lamps
Principle
Indicator and warning lamps may light up in a
variety of colours and combinations both in the
panel
1 and in the display 2.
Some lamps in the panel are checked for proper
functioning and thus come on briefly when the
engine starts or the ignition is switched on.
Explanatory text messages
Text messages appearing along the lower edge
of the control display explain the meaning of the
indicator and warning lamps that have come on.
You can call up further information, e.g. on the
cause of a fault and on what action is required,
via the Check Control, see page
76 .
If action is required as a matter of urgency, this
information is flashed up as soon as the accom-
panying lamp comes on.
