2. Wait until the text on the display disappears.
3. Turn the key switch back to setting “I” (switch
unit back on).
4. If the fault occurs again, carry out the appropri-
ate repair work in the given sequence (see

5. If the fault persists despite the repair meas-
ures carried out, the main control printed cir-
cuit board or the instrument panel printed cir-
