avoid the unnecessary complexity created
by an extended number of switches and
controls. It consists of the controller and
the Control Display.

tions that will appear in the Control Display.

you messages from the Check Control.

to enter commands. You can use it for all of
the functions in the Control Display.

ments unless traffic and road conditions
