General warnings
The lighting up of a warning light is associated with a spe-
cific message and/or buzzer when applicable. These in-
dications are brief and precautionary and as such must
not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s Handbook, which
you are recommended to read carefully in all cases. Al-
ways refer to the information in this chapter in the event
of a failure indication.
Low brake fluid level (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light comes on
when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls be-
low the minimum level due to possible leaks in the circuit.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
This warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is on. If
the car is moving a buzzer is also triggered.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on with the ve-
hicle in motion, check that the handbrake is not engaged.
