Warning and indicator
lamps
Visual identifiers informing the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off (on/

fault
(warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
s econds when the ignition is switched on.
When the engine is started, these same
warning lamps should go off.
If they remain on, before moving off refer to the
information on the warning lamp concerned.

Associated warnings
The lighting of certain indicator lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and
a
message on the multifunction screen. The warning lamp may come on
continuously (fixed) or flash.
Some warning lamps may have both types
of lighting. Only by relating the type of
illumination to the operating status of the
vehicle can it be ascertained whether the
situation is normal or whether a
fault has
occurred.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of
a


warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated
message.
If you encounter any problems, contact the
dealer network or a
qualified workshop.
