The concept The Check Control system monitors functions
in the vehicle and notifies you of malfunctions
in the monitored systems.
A Check Control message is displayed as a
combination of indicator or warning lamps and
text messages in the instrument cluster.In addition, an acoustic signal may be output
and a text message may appear on the Control
Display.
Indicator/warning lamps The indicator and warning lamps in the instru‐
ment cluster can light up in a variety of combi‐
nations and colors.
Several of the lamps are checked for proper
functioning and light up temporarily when the
engine is started or the ignition is switched on.Seite 78ControlsDisplays78

Text messages
Text messages in combination with a symbol
in the instrument cluster explain a Check Con‐ trol message and the meaning of the indicator
and warning lamps.
Supplementary text messages
Additional information, such as on the cause of
a fault or the required action, can be called up
via Check Control.
The supplementary text of urgent messages is
automatically displayed on the Control Display.
Symbols
Within the supplementary text, the following
functions can be selected independent of the

▷When the ignition is switched on, the trip
odometer is reset.
External temperature
External temperature warning If the indicator drops to
+37 ℉/+3 ℃ or lower, a signal
sounds.
A Check Control message is displayed.
There is an increased risk of ice on roads.
Ice on roads
Even at temperatures above
+37 ℉/+3 ℃, there can be a risk of ice on
roads.
Therefore, drive carefully on bridges and
shaded roads, for example, to avoid the in‐
creased risk of an accident.◀
Time The time is displayed in the in‐
strument cluster.
Setting the time on the Control
Display, refer to page 87.
Date The date is displayed in the in‐
strument cluster.
Set the date on the Control Dis‐
play, refer to page 88.
Range
After the reserve range is
reached:▷A Check Control message is
displayed briefly.▷The remaining range is
shown on the onboard com‐
puter.▷When a dynamic driving style is used, such
as when cornering quickly, operation of the
engine is not always ensured.
The Check Control message appears continu‐
ously below a range of approx. 30 miles/50 km.
Refuel promptly
Refuel no later than at a range of
30 miles/50 km, or operation of the engine is
not ensured and damage may occur.◀
Current fuel consumption Displays the current fuel con‐
sumption. You can check
whether you are currently driv‐
ing in an efficient and environ‐
mentally-friendly manner.

Energy recoveryThe energy of motion of the ve‐
hicle is converted to electrical
energy while coasting. The vehi‐
cle battery is partially charged
and fuel consumption can be re‐
duced.
Service requirements The concept
The driving distance or the time to the next
scheduled maintenance is displayed briefly in
the instrument cluster after the ignition is
switched on.
The current service requirements can be read
out from the remote control by the service
specialist.

Gear shift indicatorThe conceptThe system recommends the most fuel effi‐
cient gear for the current driving situation.
Depending on how the vehicle is equipped and
the country-specific version of the vehicle, the
gear shift indicator is active in the manual
mode of the automatic transmission and in the
manual transmission.
Indicators to shift up or down are displayed in
the instrument cluster.
On vehicles without a gear shift indicator, the
engaged gear is displayed.

No Passing Information
The concept
Speed limit detection Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the
shape of a traffic sign to display the currently
detected speed limit. The camera at the base
of the interior rearview mirror detects traffic
signs at the edge of the road as well as variable
overhead sign posts. Traffic signs with extra
symbols for wet road conditions, etc. are also
detected and compared with vehicle interior
data, such as for the rain sensor, and are dis‐
played depending on the situation. The system
takes into account the information stored in
the navigation system and also displays speed
limits present on routes without signs.
No Passing Information No Passing Information in the instrument clus‐
ter displays the beginnings and ends of no
passing zones detected by the camera. The
system accounts for only the beginnings and
ends of No Passing zones marked by signs.
No display is shown:▷In countries where No Passing zones are
primarily identified with road markings.▷On routes without signage.▷Where there are railroad crossings, high‐
way markings or other situations where no
signage is present, but passing would not
be permitted.
Hints
Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic
situation.
The system assists the driver and does not re‐
place the human eye.◀

The system may not be fully functional and
may provide incorrect information in the fol‐
lowing situations:
▷In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.▷When signs are concealed by objects.▷When driving very close to the vehicle in
front of you.▷When driving toward bright lights.▷When the windshield behind the interior
rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov‐
ered by a sticker, etc.▷In the event of incorrect detection by the
camera.▷If the speed limits stored in the navigation
system are incorrect.▷In areas not covered by the navigation sys‐
tem.▷When roads differ from the navigation,
such as due to changes in the road net‐
work.▷When passing buses or trucks with a
speed sticker.▷If the traffic signs are non-conforming.▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.
