Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
In some model versions or in certain countries, it is possible to
insert the ignition key and have the dash panel lights go on
without switching the engine on. This function is independent of
the vehicle's light connections.
Arrangement of instruments depends on the model and the engine
fitted.

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
