Check Control
The concept
The Check Control monitors functions in the
vehicle and issues a message if there is a mal-
function in the monitored systems. A Check
Control message of this kind includes indicator
or warning lamps in the instrument cluster, pos-
sibly an acoustic signal, and text messages at
the bottom of the Control Display.
Indicator and warning lamps
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in dif-
ferent combinations and colors, both in the dis-
play area
1 and in the display 2
This symbol means that a Check Control
message has been generated. The symbol
remains visible even if the Check Control
message has been hidden after a short time.
The combinations of warning lamps and text
messages are stored and can be viewed later,
also refer to page
80 .
Explanatory text messages
Text messages at the bottom edge of the Con-
trol Display explain the meaning of the indicator
and warning lamps displayed.
You can display supplementary information
regarding most Check Control messages, e.g.
as to the cause of a malfunction and corre-
sponding actions to be taken, see below.
In cases of corresponding urgency, this infor-
mation is immediately displayed when the
associated lamps light up.
To exit the displayed information:
Select the arrow and press the controller.
Importance of Check Control
