WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESGENERAL WARNINGSTurning on of warning light is accompanied by specific mes-
sage and/or by buzzer sound where provided by instru-
ment panel. These indications are concise and brief and
cautionary and as such must not be considered as ex-
haustive and/or alternative to the information contained
in the Owner Handbook, which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case of failure indi-
cation, always refer to the specifications contained in this
chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided in-
to two categories: very serious and less serious failures.
Very serious failures are indicated by a repeated and pro-
longed warning “cycle”.
Less serious failures are indicated by a limited “warning”
cycle.
The warning cycle of both failure types can be stopped
by pressing the button MODE. The instrument panel warn-
ing light will stay on until the cause of the failure is elimi-
nated.
For messages relevant to the versions equipped with Dua-
logic gearbox, see the attached Supplement.
