The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in var-

tor area 1 and the display 2.
Some lamps are checked for proper functioning
and thus come on briefly when the engine is
started or the ignition is switched on.
Explanatory text messages
Text messages at the lower edge of the Control
Display explain the meaning of the displayed
indicator and warning lamps.
You can call up more information, e.g. on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, refer to page75.In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.

area1 signal that the associated functions are
activated:

Fog lamps93

sive forces in order to maintain driving
