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 ambient 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 system 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.
