4. Vehicles without an automatic control system: in the light field at the top between the round instruments, the coolant indicator light, oil pressure indicator light and brake fluid level indicator light flash.
5. In cars with an automatic control system, the following message appears in the light field when the ignition is turned on: "Bremslicht" – "brake lights". After a short tap on the brake pedal, the "OK" sign should flash.
6. The fuel gauge and coolant temperature gauge arrows will move along the scale with some slowdown (only when the engine is warm).

8. Turn on the direction indicators: one of the green direction indicator lights flashes rhythmically – depending on the selected direction. Press the hazard warning switch: the hazard warning light flashes (in the switch) and both direction indicator lights.
9. Pull the turn signal lever towards the steering wheel: the turn signal indicator light should flash.
