the Control Display.

Indicator and warning lamps can light up in var-
ious combinations and colors in the indicator
areas 1 and 2.
Text messages
Text messages at the upper edge of the Control
Display explain the mean ing of the displayed
indicator and warning lamps.
Supplemental text messages
For most Check Control messages, you can view
more information later, e.g. regarding the cause
of a malfunction and how to respond, refer to
page 64.
