Check-Control controls fluid levels, front disc brake lining thickness, automatic transmission functionality, and critical exterior lights, including wiring and fuses. When monitoring the lamps, the fault is only displayed if the corresponding circuit is switched on.
After switching on the ignition, all Check-Control functions are automatically checked.
If all monitored functions are in order, then the inscription Bremslicht Prufung (brake lights check) goes out after the first press on the brake pedal.
Fault messages are shown on the display. Additionally, the word CHECK is lit. If there are several faults, they are displayed one after the other.
Some messages are shown as abbreviations on the display.
