is not shown. You should, for this reason, not rely exclusively on this
display - Risk of accident!

cated exclusively by the warning lamps.Warning reports, Priority 1 (red)If one of these faults occurs, the warning lamp will flash or light up and will
be accompanied by three audible warnings . This is a danger warning. Stop
the car and switch off the engine. Check the fault and correct it. Obtain profes-
sional assistance if necessary.

displayed one after the other for about 2 seconds at a time and will continue
until the fault is corrected.
