General warnings
The warning lights switch on together with a dedicated
message and/or a buzzer where appropriate. These in-
dications are brief and precautionary and as such must
not be considered as exhaustive and/or an alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook,
which you are recommended to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this chapter in the
event of a failure indication.
Low brake fluid level (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position the
warning light switches on, but it will switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light
comes on when the level of the brake fluid in the reser-
voir falls below the minimum level due to a possible leak
in the circuit.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Handbrake on (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the warn-
ing light comes on but should go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is en-
gaged. If the car is moving the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on when travel-
ling, make sure that the handbrake is not engaged.
