Check Control messages

It is not possible to open and close the soft top in certain situations. Corresponding Check Control messages are displayed in the instrument panel for this purpose.

In vehicles with the Central Information Display (CID), further explanations and handling instructions are provided for most Check Control messages in the Central Information Display.

The Check Control messages serve as additional information when the red light-emitting diode (LED) on the soft top operation switch lights up to indicate a fault.

A Check Control message is displayed every 5 seconds.
