Control Center
The concept
The Control Center has been designed to
avoid the unnecessary complexity created
by an extended number of switches and
controls. It consists of the controller and
the Control Display.
The controller is used to select the func-
tions that will appear on the Control Dis-
play. In addition, it also shows you the
Check Control messages, refer to page
83 .
Controls

in the Control Center by moving, turning
and pressing.
If you move the controller
> you feel the mechanical guides along
the main direction of movement.
This makes it easier for you to select
the right main menus
> If you turn the controller, you feel an
electronically created rasterizing.
This helps you to select the desired
menu item
2 Button for opening the start menu from
any menu item
3 Individual button assignment
To avoid posing an unnecessary haz-
ard, both to your own vehicle's occu-
pants and to other road users: never
attempt to use the controls or make adjust-
ments unless traffic and road conditions
allow.
