What to do ?

Stop! Oeldruck Motor

ENGINE OIL PRESS LOW

Low engine oil pressure

The message is displayed if the oil pressure lamp in the engine does not go out within 5 seconds after starting. It is better not to operate a car with such a malfunction and immediately contact a car service. It may occur after replacing the oil filter due to the fact that it turned out to be of poor quality. In such a situation, replace the filter .

Getriebeprogramm

TRANS FAIL-SAFE PROG

Automatic transmission error

The automatic transmission went into emergency mode - "locked" in third gear. Movement is possible. It is better not to operate the car, but immediately contact a car service. Sometimes only the bulkhead of the box helps, sometimes changing the oil or automatic transmission electronics.

Kuhlwassertemperatur

COOLANT TEMPERATURE

High coolant temperature, overheating

Overheating of the engine. It is necessary to turn off the engine and turn on the stove to maximum. In no case do not continue to move until the motor has cooled tk possible cracks in the head unit tsilindrov.Vozmozhnye reasons: closed viskomufta fan (replacing) air pocket in the cooling system (pump system).

Bremsdruck

BRAKE ASSIST INACT

Low pressure in the brake system

The pressure in the brake system has dropped. The effectiveness of the brakes can be significantly reduced, therefore it is not recommended to operate the car with this malfunction. Possible reasons: brake fluid leak (replace brake hoses, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes); air lock in the brake system (bleed the brakes).

Check control

CHECK CONTROL

Malfunction in the electrical

Unknown malfunction in the car's electrical system.

Oeldruck Sensor

OIL PRESS SENSOR

Oil pressure sensor problem

It is necessary to check the wiring to the oil pressure sensor and the sensor itself. It is not recommended to drive with a faulty sensor, as low oil pressure may not be noticed in time. Riding at low pressure oil is fraught with irreversible lesions engine .

Sensor Oelstand

OIL LEVEL SENSOR

Oil level sensor malfunction

It is necessary to check the wiring to the oil level sensor, the connection of the sensor connector or replace the sensor itself if it is faulty.

BRAKE LININGS

Brake pads worn out, need to be replaced

The brake pads are worn down to the wear sensor. It is necessary to replace the brake pads themselves and the wear sensor.

BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT

Malfunction in a chain of inclusion of stoppingals

Stop signals do not work at all, which is dangerous for a collision. Various options are possible: a fuse has blown (needs to be changed), the brake light switch under the brake pedal is faulty, an open circuit in the wiring (unlikely, it must be detected and eliminated). It also happens due to a short to ground in the rear lights, it is better to watch them immediately after the fuse.

[Km / C (Miles / F)]

The key to the left of the BC display. It serves to switch medzhu English and metric units. Need to select sisiemu measurement after changing the language of the onboard computer.

Top row of buttons :

[1000] [100] [10] [1]

These buttons are used to enter information. With the help of them, respectively, thousands, hundreds, tens or units of any parameter are entered

[s / r]

Set / Reset . Serves to confirm / save the entered data.

Middle row of buttons :

[UHR / DAT]

Switches the on-board computer between time and date. When the battery terminals are reset, the time and date are reset. First, the time is set using the [1000] [100] [10] [1] keys, then it switches to date input and data is entered. The prompt to enter the year appears after the date is saved. All data is saved by pressing the [ s / r ] key . In this case, when entering the time, the seconds, although not displayed, are reset to 00.

[VERBR]

Fuel consumption 1 and fuel consumption 2. The calculation starts after reset by pressing the [ s / r ] key . Calculates the integral fuel consumption per 100 km of track. The two calculated results can be used, for example, to calculate the flow along the entire path and on some part of it.

[REICHW]

Shows how far the current fuel supply will last. If the value is less than 15 km, dashes are displayed (it is already quite time to refuel ). If there is a "+" symbol next to the number, then there is enough fuel for the indicated path or the tank is full.

[GESCHW]

Shows the average speed since the last reset. The reading is cleared by pressing the [ s / r ] button .

[A-TEMP]

Air temperature overboard. Since the sensor is located in the front bumper, it can raise the temperature when parked with a hot engine. As you move, the data again come into line with reality. At a temperature overboard equal to "+3", a gong sounds and a message is displayed on the dashboard. This means that ice formation is theoretically possible and it is worth being careful.

Bottom row of buttons :

[ZEIT]

Similarly, it counts time 1 and time 2. First it counts in minutes and seconds, then in hours and minutes. The maximum time available is 99 hours 59 minutes. Stops when the ignition is turned off and continues to count when it is turned on. It is reset by pressing the [ s / r ] button. On machines equipped with the parking ventilation option, sets the start and stop times for heating. Pressing the button again displays the current state. On time 1, on time 2 and again the current state.

[ANK]

Estimated time of arrival. Works only after entering data [ DIST ]

[DIST]

Used to set the distance to the destination. Counts down in kilometers. Based on the driving dynamics, the estimated time of arrival at the destination is calculated. The countdown starts by pressing the [s / r] key .

[LIMIT]

Sets the speed limit. If the current speed exceeds the limit by more than 5 km / h, a gong sounds. On the panel of devices is displayed a message about exceeding .

[CODE]

Responsible for the immobilizer . Turn the key to position "1", enter the four-digit code, press the [ s / r ] key and turn off the ignition. This activates the tracking of opening the hood, removing the radio and starting the engine. If the immobilizer is activated, then after turning the ignition key to position "1" or "2" a beep sounds and ____ appears on the on-board computer, which is a requirement to enter the code. If you try to move away without entering the code, an additional gong will sound and the engine will not start. If you have forgotten the immobilizer code :

• Disconnect battery terminals for 5 minutes.
• Turn the ignition key to position "1". An alarm will sound .
• The time is reversed (15 minutes)

After 15 minutes, the engine can be started.
