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. What the information
messages and symbols look like can vary depending on the version of the instrument cluster.
In addition, a list of current malfunctions can be opened manually. To do so, chooseVehicle status or Vehicle in the
menu (→ Vehicle settings menu).
Priority 1 warning message
The red central warning lamp flashes or lights up, in some cases together with acoustic warnings or additional
symbols. Do not drive on! Danger. Check the fault and correct the cause. If necessary, seek assistance from a
suitably qualified workshop.
Priority 2 warning message
The yellow central warning lamp flashes or lights up, in some cases together with acoustic warnings or additional
symbols. Malfunctions and insufficient service fluids can damage the vehicle and cause it to break down. Check the
fault as soon as possible. If necessary, seek assistance from a suitably qualified workshop.
Reference to information in the owner’s manual
You can find further information on the warning message in the owner's manual.
Information message
Information about various procedures within the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment
system.
If several warning reports are detected, the symbols will appear for several seconds, one after another. The
symbols will continue to appear until the faults are rectified.
If warning messages about malfunctions are displayed when the ignition is switched on, it may not be
possible to adjust some settings as described, or the information display may appear differently. If the fault
persists, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop.
