Warning and information messages
The system runs a check on certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is
switched on or while the vehicle is in motion. Malfunctions are indicated by red and yellow
warning symbols with information messages on the instrument cluster display. An acoustic
warning is also given in certain cases. The appearance of the text messages and symbols can vary
depending on the version of the instrument cluster.
In addition, a list of current malfunctions can be opened manually. To do so, choose Vehicle
status or Vehicle in the menu (→ Menus and information displays, Overview).
Priority 1 warning
The red central warning lamp flashes or lights up – in some cases together with acoustic
warnings or additional symbols. Do not continue driving! Danger. Check the fault and correct
the cause. Seek expert assistance if necessary.
Priority 2 warning
The yellow central warning lamp flashes or lights up – in some cases together with acoustic
