Check Control
Principle
The Check Control monitors car functions and
alerts you to any faults in the systems moni-
tored. The system alerts you by means of indi-
cator or warning lamps in the instrument clus-
ter, possibly accompanied by an acoustic
signal, and text messages at the bottom of the
control display.
Indicator and warning lamps

means that a Check Control message has
been issued. The symbol remains visible even if
the Check Control message disappears again
after a short time. The warning lamp signals and
text messages are memorised and can be
called up again subsequently, see also page
77 .
Explanatory text messages
Text messages appearing at the lower edge of
the control display explain the meaning of the
indicator and warning lamps that have come on.
You can subsequently call up additional infor-
mation for most Check Control messages, e.g.
the cause of a malfunction and what action is
required on your part, see below.
If action is required as a matter of urgency, this
information is flashed up as soon as the accom-
panying lamp comes on.
Exit the displayed information:
Select the
arrow and press the controller.
Order of importance of Check Control
messages
Important Check Control messages remain
until the faults in question have been rectified.
These messages cannot be deleted. If several
faults occur at the same time, they are dis-
played in succession.
Less important messages disappear after
approx. 20 seconds, but they remain memo-
rised.
