Electronic immobilizer*
When switching the ignition on, the data from the vehicle key is
automatically processed. The warning lamp will flash to confirm
that the data is being compared.
If a non-authorized key is used the warning lamp will flash
permanently. The ignition will not work
⇒"Keys" chapter.K
Brakes/Hand brake
The warning lamp must come on if
• the hand brake is set
If you drive with the hand brake set at more than 6 km/h an
acoustic warning signal will sound.
• the brake fluid level is too low
The ignition must be switched on.
In vehicles with anti-lock system* (ABS), the warning lamp comes
on for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting
the engine. If the ABS* system was faulty the brake warning lamp
would also come on together with the ABS.I If
