Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after an exhaus-
tively discharged battery is charged, the multi-

computer to indicate a fault.
This fault can be remedied with a few simple
steps:
1. Start the engine.
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few
steering movements to the left and right and
then drive a short distance in a straight line
until the multifunctinal PSM light goes out and
the message on the on-board computer
disappears.
3. If the warnings do not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest qualified
specialist workshop.
Have the fault remedied.
4. After the warnings disappear, stop the vehicle
in a suitable place.
