Displays on the control display
Text messages appearing at the lower edge of
the control display explain the meaning of the
indicator and warning lights that have come on.
You can subsequently call up additional infor-
mation for most Check Control messages, e.g.
the cause of a malfunction and what action is
required on your part, see below.
If action is required as a matter of urgency, this
information is flashed up as soon as the accom-
panying light comes on.
Exit the supplementary information:
Select the arrow and press the controller.
Order of importance of Check Control
messages
Important Check Control messages remain
until the faults in question have been rectified.
These messages cannot be deleted. If several
faults occur at the same time, they are dis-
played in succession.
Less important messages disappear after
approx. 20 seconds, but they remain memo-
rised.
