lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in
various combinations and colors in indicator

Some lamps will be tested for proper functioning
when the engine is started or the ignition is

Display explain the mean ing of the displayed
indicator and warning lamps. You can call up more information, e.g. on the
cause of a malfunction and on how to respond,
via Check Control, page

In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp lights up.
