Check-control messages

The Check-Control system informs the driver if important functions, information or warnings are no longer available. Check-Control messages are displayed in the form of a symbol on the LCD display (red, yellow, orange).

The instrument cluster discharges the functions of priority control for the check-control messages. The readings for time and date and outside temperature are overwritten.

If a Check-Control message is present but not displayed, this will be indicated by warning triangle in the LCD display.

Supplementary notes and instructions are available for most Check-Control messages and are displayed in the Central Information Display (CID) (short form can be found in the status bar).

In addition to the visual display, the Check Control also alerts the driver with acoustic signals. Depending on the importance of the associated message, a single or double gong with varying volume and tone will sound.

Current Check-Control messages can be called up with the Check-Control button (press and hold for longer than 2 seconds) on the turn-signal/main-beam switch. The check-control messages can then be viewed in sequence (press for less than 2 seconds). When the Check-Control button is pressed, this is registered via the K-CAN.

If 8 seconds pass without a button being pressed, either the time and ambient temperature or a current Check-Control message with priority 1 will appear.
