WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These
indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information
contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure indication, always
refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious faults.
Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a
shorter duration. You can stop the warning cycle in both cases by pressing the button located on the windscreen wiper lever. The
instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.
