Indicator and warning
lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in
various combinations and colors in indicator
area 1 or 2.
Some lamps will be tested for proper functioning
when the engine is started or the ignition is
switched on and will therefore light up briefly.
Explanatory text messages
Text messages at the uppe r edge of the Control
Display explain the mean ing of the displayed
indicator and warning lamps. You can call up more information, e.g. on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, page
77.
In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp lights up.
