Check Control

The concept

The Check Control system monitors functions

in the vehicle and notifies you of malfunctions

in the monitored systems.

Front-end collision warning

A Check Control message is displayed as a

combination of indicator or warning lights and

text messages in the instrument cluster and in

the Head-up Display.

Illuminated: advance warning is issued,

e.g., when there is the impending dan‐

ger of a collision or the distance to the

vehicle ahead is too small.

In addition, an acoustic signal may sound and a

text message may appear on the Control Dis‐

play.

Increase distance.

Flashing: acute warning of the imminent dan‐

ger of a collision when the vehicle approaches

another vehicle at a relatively high differential

speed.

Indicator/warning lights

General information

The indicator and warning lights in the instru‐

ment cluster can light up in a variety of combi‐

nations and colors.

Intervention by braking or make an evasive ma‐

neuver.

Pedestrian warning

Symbol in the instrument cluster.

Several of the lights are checked for proper

functioning and light up temporarily when the

engine is started or the ignition is switched on.

Displays

If a collision with a person detected in this way

is imminent, the symbol lights up and a signal

sounds.

Illuminated: MDM failed. Have the sys‐

tem checked by the service center.

For more information, see M Dynamic

Mode, refer to page 116.

Yellow lights

Anti-lock Braking System ABS

Tire Pressure Monitor TPM

Avoid abrupt braking if possible. Brak‐

ing force boost in some cases defec‐

tive. Stop carefully. Take into account

longer brake travel. Have this checked

by the service center immediately.

Illuminated: the Tire Pressure Monitor

signals a loss of tire inflation pressure

in a tire.

Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid

sudden braking and steering maneuvers.

Flashing and then continuously illuminated: no

flat tire or loss of tire inflation pressure can be

detected.

DSC Dynamic Stability Control

Flashing: DSC controls the drive and

braking forces. The vehicle is stabi‐

lized. Reduce speed and adapt driving

profile to the driving circumstances.

▷

Interference through systems or devices

with the same radio frequency: after leav‐

ing the area of the interference, the system

automatically becomes active again.

Illuminated: DSC failed. Have the system

checked by the service center.

▷

TPM could not conclude the reset: perform

the reset of the system again.

For additional information, refer to Dynamic

Stability Control DSC, refer to page 115.

A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted:

have the service center check it if needed.
