General warnings are dis-
played by means of warning
lights or by texts and symbols
in the multifunction display.
In some cases, they are ac-
companied by the 'General'
warning light showing red or
yellow. If two or more warn-
ings occur at the same time,
all the appropriate warning
lights and warning symbols
appear.
