Instrument Cluster System Test

System test

The system test permits simple, visual assessment of the instrument cluster (pointer instruments, displays, lighting, warning and indicator (telltale) lamps).

Selecting system test function:

The system test is started with the left-hand button in the instrument cluster (trip recorder reset button). The button must be pressed and held with the ignition lock in "0" position, now turn the ignition lock to position "1" (terminal R radio setting) and release the button. When "tESt 1." appears in the display press the button once again, "tESt 2." now appears. After a short period of time, the display changes to "tESt 2.0". The system test can now be started by pressing the button once again.

The two-coloured indicator lamps are activated yellow and red respectively when the ignition lock terminal is changed from position "1" (terminal R radio position) to position "2". On completion of the system test, it can be repeated by pressing the button once more.

• All pointer instruments (pointers are moved once over their indication range)
