Check Control
The concept
The Check Control monitors vehicle functions 
and alerts you to any malfunctions in the sys-
tems monitored. This type of Check Control 
message includes indicator and warning lamps 
in the instrument cluster and, in some cases, an 
acoustic signal and text messages at the top of 
the Control Display.
Indicator and warning lamps
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in 
a variety of combinations and colors.
Several of the lamps are checked for proper 
functioning and light up temporarily when the 
engine is started or the ignition is switched on.
