Pre-Ride Check

In the "Pre-Ride-Check", the
instrument-cluster module exe-
cutes a test routine to check the
status of the warning lamps and
the tachometer. This test routine
stops if the engine is started be-
fore it is completed.
Phase 1
The indicator and warning lamps
light up and the universal warning
lamp lights up in yellow.
The tachometer needle sweeps
to the maximum engine speed.
All segments are shown in the
display.
Phase 2
The universal warning lamp
changes from yellow to red.
Phase 3
The tachometer needle drops
back to zero.
The indicator and warning lamps
go out.
The display reverts to the stan-
dard format.

switch on the warning
lights, possible malfunctions
cannot be indicated.
Watch all warning and indicator
lights on the display.
Have the malfunction corrected
as soon as possible at an au-
thorized workshop, preferably
