Help System

There is a help system for using the Control Display. It is activated by moving the Controller towards the bottom right ("south east") to the "Help" menu.

The help is in the form of short text information. The help provides explanations of the selected menu options. When the help is activated, context-related explanations appear on the assistance screen according to the position of the highlighted function.

The help is activated by selecting the "Brief Info" button with the Controller and then depressing the Controller to confirm the selection.

If the On-Board Computer or the navigation system road map is displayed on the assistance screen, the "Brief Info" is automatically deactivated.

It then has to be re-activated by means of the Help menu.

If "Menu name" is deactivated, touching the controller briefly in a horizontal direction no longer highlights the menu button but instead enters directly in to the menu.
