ious combinations and colors in indicator area

Display explain the meaning 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, page70.In urgent cases, this information will be shown
as soon as the corresponding lamp comes on.
