ward gear and reverse gear without stepping  
on the brakes in the process.  
Shifting in Sequential mode possible.  
A shift in Drive mode causes a reel to Sequen‐  
tial mode.

Check Control  
The concept  
The Check Control system monitors functions  
in the vehicle and notifies you of malfunctions  
in the monitored systems.  
Front-end collision warning  
A Check Control message is displayed as a  
combination of indicator or warning lights and  
text messages in the instrument cluster and in  
the Head-up Display.  
Illuminated: advance warning is issued,  
e.g., when there is the impending dan‐  
ger of a collision or the distance to the  
vehicle ahead is too small.  
In addition, an acoustic signal may sound and a  
text message may appear on the Control Dis‐  
play.  
Increase distance.  
Flashing: acute warning of the imminent dan‐  
ger of a collision when the vehicle approaches  
another vehicle at a relatively high differential  
speed.  
Indicator/warning lights  
General information  
The indicator and warning lights in the instru‐  
ment cluster can light up in a variety of combi‐  
nations and colors.  
Intervention by braking or make an evasive ma‐  
neuver.

Mode, refer to page 116.  
Yellow lights  
Anti-lock Braking System ABS  
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM  
Avoid abrupt braking if possible. Brak‐  
ing force boost in some cases defec‐  
tive. Stop carefully. Take into account  
longer brake travel. Have this checked  
by the service center immediately.  
Illuminated: the Tire Pressure Monitor  
signals a loss of tire inflation pressure  
in a tire.  
Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid  
sudden braking and steering maneuvers.  
Flashing and then continuously illuminated: no  
flat tire or loss of tire inflation pressure can be  
detected.  
DSC Dynamic Stability Control  
Flashing: DSC controls the drive and  
braking forces. The vehicle is stabi‐  
lized. Reduce speed and adapt driving  
profile to the driving circumstances.  
Interference through systems or devices  
with the same radio frequency: after leav‐  
ing the area of the interference, the system  
automatically becomes active again.  
Illuminated: DSC failed. Have the system  
checked by the service center.  
TPM could not conclude the reset: perform  
the reset of the system again.  
For additional information, refer to Dynamic  
Stability Control DSC, refer to page 115.
