Indicator and
warning lamps
The concept
Indicator and warning lamps can light up in
various combinations and colors in indicator
area 1 or2.
Some lamps are checked for proper functioning
and thus come on briefly when the engine is
started or the ignition is switched on.
What to do in case of a malfunction
A list of all indicator and warning lamps, as well
as notes on possible causes of malfunctions and
on how to respond, can be found starting on
page141.
