Indicator And Warning Lamps
The indicator and warning lamp are arranged in fixed positions between and beside the pointer instruments in the instrument cluster. For activation, the symbols are given background lighting (LEDs) in one or more colors. This enables display of symbols depending on the degree of importance in red, yellow, green or blue. The legally required and standardized indicator and warning lights include:
- Turn indicators
- High beam headlight
- Seatbelt warning
- Airbag
- General brake warning
- Rear fog lights, fog lights
- OBD II Check Engine (MIL)
There are also indicator and warning lights for:
- Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
- Program display of the automatic gearbox
The arrows beside the program display indicate each of the possible directions of movement of the transmission selector lever. The program display remains illuminated for 10 seconds after the remote control has been removed (after-run function).
When the engine has been switched off (KL15 OFF) and drive position N selected, the program display remains active for up to 30 minutes. This indicates to the driver possible incorrect operation of the selector lever on parking the vehicle (position P not engaged). After 30 minutes have elapsed, the parking lock is activated automatically. The entire control of the program and gear display is handled by the EGS control unit.
All other indicator and warning information is provided in a corresponding symbol display in the variable warning field.
