Visibility of the display
The visibility of the displays in the Head-up
display is influenced by the following factors:
▷
Seat position.
▷
Objects on the Head-up display's protective
glass.
▷
Dust or dirt on the Head-up display's pro-
tective glass.
▷
Windshield dirty on inside or outside.

If the image is distorted, have the basic set-
tings checked by an authorized service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop.
Special windshield
The special windshield is part of the Head-up
display system.
The
shape and coating of the special wind-
shield enable this system to
function.
If damaged, have the special windshield re-
placed by an authorized service center or an-
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Check Control
Principle
The Check Control system monitors functions
in the vehicle and notifies you of faults in the
monitored systems.
A
Check Control message is displayed as
a combination of indicator lights or warning
lights and text messages on the instrument
cluster and, if applicable, on the Head-up dis-
play. In addition, an acoustic signal may sound
and a text message may appear on the control
display.
Some Check
Control messages are hidden au-
tomatically after approx. 20 seconds, but they
will be stored. Stored Check Control messages
can be displayed on the control display. Urgent
Check Control messages are permanently dis-
played but may be hidden temporarily.
Hiding Check Control messages
Permanently displayed Check Control mes-
sages can be hidden temporarily. These mes-
sages are automatically displayed again after
approx. 8 seconds.
An arrow icon next to the Check Control
message indicates whether the Check Control
message can be hidden.
To hide Check Control messages, tilt
the thumbwheel on the steering wheel
to the left.
Displaying stored Check Control
messages
Saved Check Control messages and additional
information such as the cause of a fault or
the required action can be called up via Check
Control.
Depending on
the Check Control message, fur-
ther help can be selected.
1.
Go through the menu as follows: Apps
menu / "Vehicle" / "Vehicle status" / "Check
Control".
2.
Select the desired text message.
Display
A Check Control message is displayed in the
instrument cluster as a text message with an
