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, open the Vehicle status or Vehicle menu (→ Vehicle
settings menu).
