The concept

Indicator and warning lamps can light up in a variety of combinations and colors.

Several of the lamps are checked for proper functioning and light up temporarily when the engine is started or the ignition is switched on.

Text messages at the upper edge of the Control Display explain the meaning of the displayed indicator and warning lamps.

You can call up more information on the Control Display, e.g. on the cause of a malfunction and on how to respond, via Check Control.

In urgent cases, this information will be shown as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.
