Indicator and warning lamps

The concept

The indicator and warning lamps can light up in

different combinations and colors.

Some lamps are tested for proper function by

briefly lighting up during starting of the engine

or when the ignition is switched on.

Explanatory text messages

Text messages at the bottom edge of the Con-

trol Display explain the meaning of the dis-

played indicator and warning lamps.

Additional information, e.g. on the cause of a

malfunction and on the corresponding need to

take action can be displayed via the Check Con-

trol, refer to page 80.

In urgent cases, this information will be shown

as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.
