A control system for a vehicle, in particular for a truck trailer, has a control device which switches off the control system upon the occurrence of a fault. The control system of the vehicle includes a bistable mechanical display which can be controlled via a coil arrangement into, in each case, one of its stable positions and then displays either a fault condition or no fault condition. Upon switching off the control device because of a fault which has occured, the display is controlled into the "fault" position, and it remains there even without a power supply. Consequently, a faulty system can be detected at any time even without a power supply switched on.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A control system for a vehicle, comprising:a control device that switches off the control system upon detection of a fault condition in the control system;a mechanical display including an element which is capable of being set into a first stable position and a second stable position, the first position visibly indicating the fault condition when the fault condition is present, the second position visibly indicating a non-fault condition when the non-fault condition is present, the position of the element being reversible via a coil arrangement; andan evaluation circuit coupled to the control device, the evaluation circuit detecting the switch-off of the control system and setting the element to be in the first position indicating the fault condition in response to the switch-off detection,wherein the element is maintained in the first position after the switch-off of the control system.
