Check Control
Principle
The Check Control system monitors functions
in the vehicle and notifies you of faults in the
monitored systems.
A Check Control message is displayed as a
combination of indicator/warning lights and
text messages on the instrument cluster and,
if applicable, on the Head-up display. In addi-
tion, an acoustic signal may sound and a text
message may appear on the control display.
Some Check Control messages are hidden au-
tomatically after approx. 20 seconds, but they
will be stored. Stored Check Control messages
can be displayed on the control display. Urgent
Check Control messages are permanently dis-
played but can be hidden temporarily.
Hiding Check Control messages
Permanently displayed Check Control mes-
sages can be hidden temporarily. These mes-
sages are automatically displayed again after
approx. 8 seconds.
An arrow icon next to the Check Control
message indicates whether the Check Control
message can be hidden.
To hide Check Control messages, press
the left arrow button on the steering
wheel.
