GENERAL WARNINGS
Failure indications shown on the reconfigurable
multifunction display together with buzzer
sounding (adjustable) and warning light (if any)
coming on on the cluster, are accompanied by
specific warning messages (e.g.: “Switch off
engine”, etc...). These indications are concise and
cautionary and are aimed to suggest the prompt
action the driver must adopt when a car
malfunctioning appears. These indications,
however, shall not be considered as exhaustive
and/or as an alternative to the specifications
contained in this “Owner Handbook”, which shall
always be read through carefully and thoroughly. In
case of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed on the
reconfigurable multifunction display are divided
into two categories: very serious failures and
serious/minor failures.
The message and the warning indication
corresponding to very serious failures are displayed
alternately for few seconds. This “cycle” is repeated
indefinitely and it stops any previous indication on
the display. It is displayed every time the ignition
key is turned to MAR, until the cause of
malfunctioning is removed. Should failure disappear, message and warning light
will however stay on for about 2 seconds.
Eliminating the failure, the warning light and the
displayed message will go off. It is possible to stop
this “cycle” by pressing button Q; in this case the
screen active before the failure will be resumed and
the warning light will stay on until eliminating the
failure cause.
The message and the warning indication
corresponding to serious/minor failures are
displayed alternately for few seconds. This “cycle”
is repeated for about 20 seconds and then goes off,
but it comes on again every time the ignition key is
turned to MAR.
Should failure disappear during the 20 seconds
displaying, message and warning light will stay on
for about 2 seconds. Eliminating the failure, the
warning light and the displayed message will go off.
At the end of the display cycle (which lasts approx.
20 seconds), or if button Qis pressed, the screen
active before the failure will be resumed and the
warning light will stay on until eliminating the
failure cause.
Q= Press button “MODE” for less than two seconds
R= Press button “MODE” for over two seconds
