The Basic Menu
The basic menu shows a graphical representation of the Controller in the center with arrows indicating its directions of horizontal movement for selecting any of the 8 main menus arranged around the edge. To the right is the assistance screen.
The basic menu always remains behind the currently selected menu as a ninth menu and can be recalled by moving the Controller in the direction of the active main menu.
Pressing the Controller when the basic menu is active switches off the Control Display. However, the bottom status bar showing the status of the air conditioning, entertainment system, time and date remains visible!
When the Control Display is switched off, pressing the Controller or moving it horizontally switches the Control Display on.
If the Controller is moved in the direction of one of the main menus, this not only switches the Control Display on, it also opens the menu that is located in that direction.
The following actions also cause the Control Display to switch on:
- Display of a priority 1 message box, e.g. a check control message such as "Engine oil pressure too low"
- Operation of the PDC (Park Distance Control).
- An incoming/outgoing telephone call or operation of the Send/ End button on the MFL/Telecommander
- Operating the audio system in KL 30.
