Vehicle information systems

MESSAGE CENTRE
Switch on the ignition (position II)
to activate the Message Centre.
Various systems can be
programmed using the Message
Centre and the multifunction lever
on the steering column.
The Message Centre also provides
warning messages about faults or
system malfunctions. For further
details, refer to the section
Warning/information messages,
page 26.
For road safety reasons, set
and reset the functions only
when the vehicle is stationary.
Note: The displays depend on the
equipment fitted and therefore
certain displays may not appear in
the Message Centre of your
particular vehicle.
The display is activated when the
driver's door is opened or the
ignition is switched on.
With the ignition switched off
(position 0) and the key removed,
the display will be automatically
deactivated after approximately
10 minutes.
