Pre-Ride-Check
When the ignition is switched on
the instrument cluster performs a
test routine including the analog
display instruments as well as the
warning and indicator lights - this
is the "Pre-Ride-Check." Starting
the engine before the test rou-
tine is completed will cancel the
remainder of the routine.
Phase 1
The needles on the tachometer
and speedometer rotate to their
end stops. Simultaneously all
warning and indicator lights are
activated sequentially.
