switched on.

What to do in case of a malfunction
All warning lamps and indicator lamps not yet
listed are also accompanied by text messages
on the Control Display. These may contain
more information as to the cause of a malfunc-
tion and instructions on what to do.
Sometimes, warning lamps are also accompa-
nied by supplemental text messages on the
Control Display that are shown immediately.
Text messages that do not appear immediately
are stored and can be displayed subsequently.
For further information on displaying these
messages later, refer to Check Control on
page 67.
