Warning and indicator 
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator 
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a 
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating 
status of a system (operation or deactivation 
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two 
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied 
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed 
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status 
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether 
the situation is normal or whether a fault has 
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp 
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on 
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched 
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon 
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there 
may be fault which needs further investigation.

pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally 
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons 
while out of range of the vehicle, due to 
the risk of rendering the remote control 
inoperative. It would then be necessary to 
reset it.

  when the 
key is in the ignition switch, even when the 
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle 
immobiliser, as this might result in 
malfunctions.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make 
it more difficult for the emergency services 
to enter the passenger compartment in an 
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from 
the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for 
a short time.
