Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights25
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
Radio display
These displays appear in addition to the normal information in the radio
display.
Auto Check Control
Vehicle condition
The Auto Check Control carries out a check of certain functions and
vehicle components. The check is performed constantly when the ignition
is switched on, both when the vehicle is stationary, as well as when
driving.
Operational faults, urgent repairs, service work or other information
appear in the display of the instrument cluster. The displays are shown
with a red or yellow light symbol depending on the priority of the message. The red symbols indicate
danger (priority 1) while the yellow symbols indi-
cate a warning (priortity 2). Information for the driver may also appear in
addition to the symbols ⇒page 28.
Investigate the displayed faults as soon as possible. If several operational
faults exist at the same time, the symbols will appear one after the other
and are each visible for about 2 seconds.
The error messages are faded out after 10 seconds or by actuating the
rocker switch ⇒page 23, fig. 12 and are stored under the information
CAR STATUS (CAR STATUS) .
There is at least one error message to be read when the term CAR
STATUS (CAR STATUS) is flashing in the main menu. The display will
show STATUS 1/2 (STATUS 1/2) (for example) if a number of error
messages are present. This display indicates that the first of a total of two
error messages should be displayed.
Actuate the rocker switch , to call up the individual error messages.
If a fault occurs, a warning signal will also sound in addition to the symbol
and text in the display:
•Priority 1 - three warning signals
•Priority 2 - one warning signal
Operational check of the automatic gearbox
When the ignition is switched on, the Auto Check Control automatically
carries out an operational check. The following text will appear first if the
selector lever is the position P or N :

The text will disappear once you select a drive position ( R, D etc.), and the
Auto Check Control function is displayed.

the other and are each illiminated for about 2 seconds.
Yellow symbols
A yellow symbol signals a warning.
