vehicle.

Messages
!WARNING:
If a red warning light is displayed, 
investigate immediately and, 
if necessary, stop the vehicle as soon 
as possible but only when it is safe to 
do so.
Most messages, when displayed, have an 
associated warning light, red or amber, 
above the display which will come on to 
indicate the message priority.
If more than one message is active, each 
is displayed in turn for two seconds in 
order of priority.
Messages take priority over the odometer 
reading or trip computer data and, 
if active, will be displayed when the 
ignition is switched ON. Message centre illumination
The message centre is lit at all times when 
the ignition is ON, and message 
brightness is controlled by the dimmer 
switch.

lit and are not affected by the dimmer 
switch.
