The automatic control system, with the ignition on and while driving, constantly monitors the performance of certain functions and the condition of individual components of the vehicle.
Any malfunctions in operation, as well as the urgent need for a certain repair or maintenance, are indicated by an audible signal and, depending on the severity of the malfunction or necessary repair, a red or yellow light pictogram on the instrument cluster.
In addition, a text message appears on the display to confirm the red or yellow light icons.
These text messages in the illustrations in this manual are shown in German. Depending on the country for which the vehicle is prepared, the text messages and the corresponding driver instructions may also be in one of the following languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese.

If there are any problems with the normal functioning of certain systems and devices, a message about this appears after the ignition is turned on. At the same time, a certain sound warning signal is triggered:
- violation of primary importance - three sound signals,
- violation of minor importance - one sound signal.
When violations of primary and secondary importance occur simultaneously, three sound signals are heard.
In case of a violation, a pictogram appears with a corresponding text message.
A secondary violation is indicated only when the primary violation has been corrected.
