Warning lampsWARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
RED warning lamps are for primary warnings.
A primary warning must be investigated
immediately, seek qualified assistance if
necessary.
AMBER warning lamps are for secondary
warnings. Some indicate that a vehicle system
is in operation, others i ndicate that the driver
must take action and then seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible
Other warning lamps within the instrument
panel indicate system st atus, such as blue for
main beam and green for direction indicators,
when in operation.
LAMP CHECK
A warning lamp bulb check is initiated when the
ignition system is switched on and lasts for 3
seconds (except for the airbag warning lamp
which will remain on for 6 seconds). If any
warning lamp remains on after this period,
investigate the cause before driving.
Some warning lamps have associated
messages displayed on the message centre.
Note: Not all warning lamps are included in the
check (e.g. high beam headlamps and direction
indicators).
BRAKE (RED)
Do not drive if the message LOW
BRAKE FLUID is disp layed. Check the
brake fluid level and top-up as
necessary. If necessary, seek
qualified assistance before
continuing.
If the warning lamp is on and there are no
associated messages, it means that the parking
brake is on.
If the warning lamp is illuminated and the
message PARK BRAKE ON is displayed, it
means that the parking brake is applied but the
vehicle is moving. Release the parking brake or
stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so.
If the lamp is illuminated and the message
LOW BRAKE FLUID is displayed, loss of
braking in one or both brake circuits may be
imminent. Stop the vehicle gently and check
and top-up the brake fluid reservoir, using the
recommended fluid. If the warning message
remains, do not drive the vehicle until the brake
fault is rectified. Seek qualified assistance
before continuing.
If the lamp illuminates and the message EBD
FAULT is displayed in the message centre, a
fault with the EBD system is indicated. The
braking system will st ill function, but without
EBD assistance.
Have the fault rectified by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer. Illuminates when the ignition is on
and the parking brake is applied
and/or the brake fl
uid is low. The
warning lamp will also illuminate
